Read/watch

Aeon Flux season 3, Deleuze/Guattari's Mille Plateaux. Possibly these are the same things! For extra credit I'll listen to a Knife record.

I think I may never have seen Aeon Flux season 3. I have no memory of it. I have no memory of, uh, this stuff containing dialogue or a semblance of linear narrative. Google is not doing well at coughing up pretentious cultural studies essays other ppl must have written in the 1990s. I don't mean like Freud 101, I mean like explain why you should cry tears of sadness that George Bataille didn't live to watch late-night MTV. Geocities is dead, yo, repost that shiz.

Other TV: watching Agents of SHIELD -- it has the same mystery plot as my dumb fanfiction, but less sex pollen. Watched a few eps of Elementary S1, a few eps of Attack on Titan, and a couple of eps of Adventure Time just so I know what is what.

Movies: Gravity was very good. Wanted to see Prisoners but it fell through. Going to see The Counselor tomorrow.

Also picking up Pilgrim at Tinker Creek again, since the seasons have turned.

Ah ha ha, Google's not coughing them up because they're all lost to internet rot and no one has copies any longer. I know this because not a week ago I rewatched Aeon Flux and spent a couple of hours trying to dig up the episode guide/"WTF was going on?" pages I remembered from when the third season originally aired. (And I found them, but I don't think they really count as pretentious cultural studies essays? Alas.)

Ah, yeah, that was actually one of the episode guides! They were hosted on a site that's still accessible via archive.org (http://web.archive.org/web/20001006101425/http://home.earthlink.net/~rach/aeon.htm), though sadly I don't think they ever made it past episode 4.

And the old Greenspun board is still up! (http://www.greenspun.com/bboard/q-and-a.tcl?topic=Aeon+Flux) High variance in discussion quality, obviously, but IIRC someone actually came up with a semi-plausible interpretation of that "Chronophasia" episode where Aeon's stuck in a time loop.
