Postponed my day trip to the mountains. Cos of rain. The weather is improving this afternoon….
Some free time to clean and sort and catch up with things. And unbox some of those remaining moving boxes.

That’s because, unlike a political campaign designed to get some person in office and then close up shop (as in the election of Obama), this is not a movement with a traditional narrative arc. As the product of the decentralized networked-era culture, it is less about victory than sustainability. It is not about one-pointedness, but inclusion and groping toward consensus. It is not like a book; it is like the Internet.
I went to see Le Havre by Aki Kaurismäki last week. Enjoyed it. Every angle is carefully planned. The plot is simple. A fairy tale.
