Photos of Millenium Park
"The room on the Rue Saint-Jacques where The Society of the Spectacle got written was at once an austere cell- with nothing on the shelves, I remember, but a few crucial texts (Hegel, Pascal, Marx, Lukács, Lautréamont Poésies) laid open at the relevent page- and the entryway to Debord's miniscule apartment, through which friends and comrades continually passed." T.J. Clark (forward) from Guy Debord by Anselm Jappe
Thoughts of Chicago-
1.It is hot and sweat-induced.
2.There are mini-bunnies in the million-dollar Millenium Park
3.American cities are too spread out and rely too much on cars. Even though Chicago has the "L"- it seems not convenient enough.
4.The "no-smoking indoors" policy is slowly spreading across America- even into Mid-West Chicago, amazing.
The sad thing is that I did not read a damn thing- not even while on the plane (except for trashy magazines). I wanted to keep track of the conversation topics which were covered. I'm curious as to what people talk about. People talk so much, I wanted to break it down to common subject- 1st there's the usual "catching up or getting to know each other"
2nd there's the goofing around- non-topics about what is happening in the present-3rd topics regarding work.
