Hi Elizabeth,
I didn't see you on FB tonight until a little while ago, so this is a late post just to say hi. I guess you are busy lately, but I saw a few minutes ago a Halloween post of a guy with skeleton face paint and a black hood. It said "Halloween From The Office".
Tonight I went over to the Dia De Los Muertos event at CSUN, at the Chicano House which is a locally famous small brick building on campus. For the last few years, the Mexican students who use that building as a group facility for an organization called MEChA have created a Day Of The Dead artistic exhibit that is pretty impressive. Grimsley and I discovered it last year by chance, and this year we made it a point to go. It is also a live event, with vendors and music, but we were there mainly to see the exhibit within the several rooms of the Chicano House. In Mexican culture, as you probably know, the Day Of The Dead is a celebration of death, which is seen as something beautiful. The art memorials these students produce are really something special.
Took Kobi to see his heart specialist today. He is doing well and doesn't need to be seen for another six months. Not too shabby for a soon to be 17 year old (he's still a Teenager).
Yesterday the main event was the CSUN movie, "Mouchette" by Bresson. A profoundly sad film, featuring one of the great performances of cinema by a non-professional actress named Nadine Nortier, who never acted in another film but who created an indelible character in this one. One of Bresson's greatest works.
Well that's all I know for tonight.
