Erkan's field diary

Watched Gimme Shelter recently. Quite powerfull stuff. Triggered a sort of nostalgia for some times I wasn't even born. Skimmed thru Hells Angels and Sonny Barger's website, too. I liked the opening scene, thought about Mick Jaggers' dance moves etc.

 I could not yet escape from a feeling of dizziness, melancholy and disappointment. A current of nostalgia undergoes this mixture of feelings. I just received a postcard from Katherine and Frederick who are now married and settled in San Diego. Although I am quite a new media person, these tangible cards have their affect on me. Hence comes the evening melancholy. I have been in my office since noon and can finally do some work on dissertation. All gone, and i am alone, having tons of coffee and planning to write more fragments. But these overwhelming feelings force me to write these first and think about those fragments later.

Well, no need to hide. The blog party had become a turning point in some of my relations. the event itself was enjoyable and i can certainly state that my most of closest friends showed up. Even the Malta collective who protested me for having a party instead of playing cards did show up in the end. However, some people, some circles en masse did not show up and did not even provide an excuse. That part was a big disappointment of which I could recover yet...

Anyway, speaking of films, by the way, Gregory's Girl (1981),  Freaks (1932), Hotaru no haka (1988), Rendition (2007), Inventing the Abbotts (1997) are some of the notable movies I watched recently.
