Nov. 29th, 2009 03:43 pmToday, Sydney developed a dust-sky to keep me entertained.
Sydney Uni had a film and a wedding and other ephemera to distract us on our way to the Nicholson. The Nicholson Museum has four exhibitions running at once right now, which is ambitious. Some great stuff, but some disconcerting and depressing results of the odd focal points. The ancient world and the 19th century reinvention and memorising of the ancient world were entirely lacking in Jewish elements. In fact, if I relied on the Nicholson Museum for an understanding of my own past, I might as well not exist. Which gave me an idea for fiction, naturally, since I do exist. It also gave me teaching matter, which was one of the aims of the exercise.
I'm pretty positive I exist today. I cite as evidence another review of Life Through Cellophane.
PS I took a close look at several mummified hands today and asked Llyn if she would mind verifying my Very Important Conclusion. Not a single SF movie or series I can remember gets mummified hands quite right. I would say "tut, tut," but it might be interpreted as a pun.
