Alas, alas, this month is ending and my mountain of work is not. And yet.
Having learned that Polaroid is terminating its production of instant films, I have decided to seriously take a series of Pola photos for exhibition. But my Spectra 2 is not working properly... why is that? Maybe it needs some cleaning. A machine is always a living organism... it needs attention, constant use, and love.

Milton, and Marvell, and Marlowe
Of them I will read probably only Milton, not knowing a line from Marvell or Marlowe, unlike Navokov from his Cambridge days. So be it.

246. Gwendolyn Dubois Shaw, Seeing the Unspeakable (Duke UP)
247. Nelson Goodman, Language of Art (Hackett)
248. Charles S. Peirce, The Essential Writings (Prometheus Books)
249. Hannah Arendt, The Jewish Writings (Schocken)

252. 田中長徳『カメラは知的な遊びなのだ。』（アスキー新書）
253. 片倉もとこ『イスラームの日常世界』（岩波新書）
Spent the whole afternoon for a meeting at school. It was rather exhausting. But some books arrived to cheer me up. Goodman, Peirce, I got to be serious by now. 253 I already had a copy and couldn't find it. Then at night, there it is, as usual. INSANITY. But Katakura's way of showing the Islam world and culture is so attractive. Islam might be the most accomplished way of sharing the world view. This I say as an utterly non-religious person.

Pragmatism at Birth (ou presque)
242. 山根貞男『映画の貌』(みすず書房）
243. 田中英司『現代・映画・アメリカ』（河出書房新社）
244. 鶴見俊輔『たまたま、この世界に生まれて』（SURE）
245. 山田宏一『フランソワ・トリュフォーの映画誌』（平凡社）
After a very lengthy meeting at our school headquarter, I strayed into a used-book shop and voilà, I encountered 242, Yamane's magnum opus, at a very decent price (less than half the original price)! He's great, one of the best film critics in the world. This lead me to pick up a couple more and on the way home I read 245 that I treasured like nothing else. 244 is by an old philosopher who has been instrumental in introducing American phil., esp. pragmatism/pragmaticism. The book is his private lecture to a small group of thirty-something's. Looks very readable, too.

A Trip to the Peninsular
Made a quick round-trip to Boso on a school-related business. A nice way to spend a perfectly sunny sunday... to get blown by the strong sea wind! On the way back went to Shinjuku with a muskrat-like state of mind. And then.
240. Cormac McCarthy, The Sunset Limited (Vintage)
241. Jules Verne, Voyage au centre de la terre (Le livre de poche)
240 looks so inviting with its peculiar style; it's a novel written in dramatic form. 241 I have to re-read for a project with a friend... a geo-aesthetic study of underground spaces, sort of.
Time is definitely not on my side, but who cares? Festina lente...

239. オノレ・ド・バルザック『ランジェ公爵夫人』（工藤庸子訳、集英社）
Days are getting really bright. The sunshine already reminds me of the summer solstice... my favorite day of the year. I have a big project in mind to write on Maxwell, but still got miles to go before I get there. Quant à YouTube, it's a joy to see Seeger, Pete, on some videos uploaded there. Pete Seeger. A truly great guy. A short piece in which he and Arlo Guthrie play together is so nice and uplifting.
239 is another superb translation by Yoko Kudo, one of our best French lit specialists. I am asked to give a bookstore talk with her in April. It's good, but I have to overcome my tendency to be needlessly stiff in front of an unknown / unknowable audience...

Two books flying in from colleagues:
225. 森洋子『ブリューゲル探訪 民衆文化のエネルギー』（未来社）
226. 長尾輝彦編著『文学研究は何のため』（北海道大学出版会）
225 makes me want to go back in time, 226 makes me ask "Yeah, why? What for?"
