Cannot believe that we are already mid-May … I have been scurrying around tying up all my loose ends from the winter semester. The dates are later at UdeM (I would have already had all my grades back by now). Nonetheless, I have two more little things for tomorrow then I get to dive intoContinue reading “Quick Update”

Working Relationships
I am working on a paper that is focused on the relationship between actors and the characters they play in terms of the spectator’s perception (re: ability or inability to seperate them). From my notes, it is wrapped up in perceptions / concepts / ideas of reality, representation and projection. All very big concepts inContinue reading “Working Relationships”
Searching for Inspiration: Remembering the Drive
Over the last few months, I have been struggling through the thought process on a few projects. Projects that were not selected by choice – but rather through the necessity of my program. At first, I thought that it would pass quickly; they were small projects so they really should not be that much ofContinue reading “Searching for Inspiration: Remembering the Drive”
New Geography?
I was a little puzzled this morning as I went to click on my homepage, currently set at http://www.yahoo.ca and I received an error message (would not load) with a pop up message stating “We’ve detected you are using Yahoo! outside Canada. Check out your local homepage here” and it links me to Y!Québec. Hmmm, lastContinue reading “New Geography?”
Unfortunately
Due to a foot sprain I suffered Tuesday evening, I was unable to attend the doctoral seminar – of all the topics that have been covered over the course of this year – it was the most relevant to what I do – and I couldn’t hobble my way over. Therefore, no notes or wrap upContinue reading “Unfortunately”
Doctoral Seminar Series Pt. 2
As mentioned in the fall, our department has put together a doctoral seminar series. Next week, Laurent Jullier will be talking about Interdisciplinarity and Film Studies. Quite apropos given my seminar presentation last week! The talk will be held in room C-2151, Pavillon Lionel-Groulx next Wednesday (April 9th) at 4:30pm. I will be sure to takeContinue reading “Doctoral Seminar Series Pt. 2”
Reading; Narrative, Film Analysis & Dead Links
As anyone who has read this blog over the last few months, or know me at all really, know that I have been lamenting over my inability (or mental block) to do film analysis. In so many ways, it is not very different than the analysis of a text, image or game even. One bookContinue reading “Reading; Narrative, Film Analysis & Dead Links”
More Reading
No matter how many times I sit down to try and write, I end up with more reading on my plate. Looking for literature on semio-pragmatics in film theory, I ended up at Warren Buckland’s The Cognitive Semiotics of Film. The first chapter is available as a viewable (and downloadable but not printable) pdf. IContinue reading “More Reading”
The Niftiest Places
Thank you Mr. Bartle for showing me that everyday things can be a little bit happy and a little bit sad. I think I have clicked on this more times than is healthy in the last two days!
Another Monthly Wrap-up
I cannot believe how quickly this month went by! Only two blog posts to boot. Every week this month was a short school week for my daughters (starting with spring break the first week). But even so, I managed to get a few things done. I became a member at the Center for Research onContinue reading “Another Monthly Wrap-up”
