I think I played the movie Primer four times last night, although I was out of the room for parts of it and asleep for parts of it, and I think that all I actually added to my notes was the names of two secondary characters. On the other hand, I finally wrapped my head around the entire side story about the gun at the party, why it mattered, what the narrator was saying about how the time machines worked and why that mattered, and other stuff that will ultimately help resolve the story. It still has problems, and some of them are going to prove rather serious, but we’ll see how it goes when I return to writing the Temporal Anomalies analysis.

I could give you a list of things that aren’t happening, and why it annoys me that I’ve been unable to accomplish anything in each; and of things that are now scheduled to happen tomorrow on top of everything else; but since this Blogless Lepolt is supposed to report on progress, I have a valid excuse to ignore these. Those who were attentive to the forums are aware that I managed to finish Friday’s posts some time Saturday afternoon, thanks to the tasks outlined in yesterday’s entry, plus a few hours of sleep and a morning church service. If things run smoothly for the rest of the day, I might be able to get something finished–I just have to figure out what.
