Day
250 — Erotic, neurotic
08-April-1972
(Samstag–Sat.)
TRANSCRIPT
Played ensembles this morning. Played fairly well.
Did a little work in electronic music. Mostly tidying
up work.
Went to see a movie, Faye Dunaway in
Puzzle of
a Downfall Child. I thought it was very
good. About Faye Dunaway and how she became
neurotic-psychotic. By the end of the movie, I felt
more neurotic. The movie was done with understanding.
REFLECTIONS
Saturday
school. I am again
amazed, today, with all of the playing opportunities
that I experienced in Prof. Gabler’s class. These
ensembles are always on Saturday. Playing in
ensembles was a nice complement to our normal class
lessons.
Erotic,
neurotic. A typical
day, but not a typical movie. I must have had my
signals crossed. Instead of going to an erotic movie,
I go to a neurotic movie. I’m pretty sure I am not
neurotic. If only I could shake these government
agents who are always following me.
