Day 5: Cabin Itsgettinghotinhere

Day 5:

Ooofta, isn't it hot out there today- at least for me.  As the humidity increases so does my sluggishness when having to go outdoors during the daylight... that kind of sounds like a vampire, ooooooooo.  Anyways, I bet the heat is what is contributing to my super early bedtimes this past week.  I was only able to make it to 9:15 until I turned off all the machines for the night. 

So today's goals:

"Week of Soviet Cinema in France 1955"
     write: most if not all of the entire section
    research: I don't have as much info as I thought, I think I will need to review more newspapers/journals/etc to bring out more of the public opinion and stereotypes about Soviet cinema.  For this I will see what I can access from this chair in the EPB via the internet, otherwise I may have to pop over to the library for some of these 4 hours, but I'd rather use this time to write.

Let us go!

DID:
Well I cannot access articles from 1955 online I guess I will have to come back to this part of the "Week of Soviet Cinema" section once I have more research.  In this case, because I was just awarded a small grant to go back to France for wrap up research, the most time efficient way to obtain public and film critic reaction to the Soviet films and the new image of Soviet cinema information is actually to go back to this one archive (the Film Library in Paris - Bibliotheque du film, otherwise known as BiFi) which has all the newspaper clippings about the films shown during the Week of Soviet Cinema- otherwise I would have to order all the microfilm through ILL (the best program ever) and comb through 20+ different French newspapers and film journals praying I stumble upon an article--- so I will save the reaction section of this section, hehe, for after I go back to France for the 3rd time for this one particular project. 
ACTUALLY DID:
I was so drained from the heat and work from the week, me, my typing fingers and my brain moved at a very sluggish pace from 9-1- like a sloth eating a slug while being a sleuth.  But I did manage to eek out the entire section- but I DO NOT LIKE THE SECTION, and compared to the analysis for the "Week of French Cinema in the USSR" it is rather lackluster- but at least it is out of my brain and on paper!!!!!!


WEEKEND GOALS:
       Research, research, research so that I am prepared to write from 9-1 all next week
