Monday Musings

Albert invites Pamela to tonight's showing of Godard's Breathless. She consents; they have three days to "do it" or face a life of permanent celibacy.

In the afternoon, Pamela watches this clip from the film on YouTube. She likes the music, the cinematography and the images of Paris in 1960, but hopes they show the version with subtitles.

Browsing on her ThinkPad, Natasha finds this trailer for Wim Wenders' Wings of Desire. She watches wistfully, wishing she could go to Berlin.

In the evening, Molly brings her laptop over to Roderick's room. She sits on the floor, naked, and surfs. Roderick browses online at his desk. He isn't sure whether or not he agrees with Mr. Parvulesco. He likes the article at this link.

"Hey, watch this!" says Molly, beckoning to Roderick. She is working on Beethoven's Opus 126 Bagatelles and likes this Pollini recording of the third.

Roderick thinks it's pretty.
