I had a little bump under the skin of my left armpit which I wasn’t all that worried about because everyone I told about it said they had had similar things pop up and go away. But it didn’t go away and it had been there since before Christmas so I finally went to the doctor. He didn’t think it was very concerning either but decided it would be easy to remove so he cut it out this morning. Besides that, nothing much is going on. We saw Be Kind Rewind which was good of course. There is an interesting article in the new Art in America about an exhibit at Deitch Projects that Michel Gondry designed to go along with his previous movie The Science of Sleep. It looks like he just had another one for the new movie:

“For the exhibition, Michel Gondry will be recreating the video store in the gallery, complete with a back lot containing a variety of movie sets where visitors can make their own renditions of films. All videos created during the exhibition can be viewed in the gallery. About the project, Gondry states, ‘I don’t intend nor have the pretension to teach how to make films. Quite the contrary. I intend to prove that people can enjoy their time without being part of the commercial system and serving it. Ultimately, I am hoping to create a network of creativity and communication that is guaranteed to be free and independent from any commercial institution.’”

And here’s a new drawing:
