- Seven days left to my monthly allowance... I am excited.
- I cannot study in a group environment. People are so distracting!
- Today, I visited the Istana for the first time in my life. I did not emerge more patriotic, but did learn new phrases to describe movements in and out of palatial grounds. Also, was interviewed by local Chinese newspaper. Charmed.
- Excerpt from Sontag's On Photography: "While photographs fill out our mental image of the past, the photographs being taken now transform what is present into a mental image, like the past."
- Fake money saves Brazil from hyperinflation – this is interesting: through the manipulation of people's attitudes towards an unstable currency, brilliant economists save the day.
- I dreamt about being in a Broadway retrospective, and was cast as a gollum in a variant of the musical Wicked. I didn't rehearse with the cast at all, I missed all the cues for my song-and-dance numbers, and Ian McKellen was backstage. It was humiliating.
