good will
1) Got a decent chunk of sleep last night: a solid eight hours!
2) Went to a lunch hour lecture delivered by my MA supervisor who I haven't seen since 2003--I'm happy to see him in good form, talking in his usual style of enthusiasm and humor. His argument was that Shakespeare's life is reflected in Shakespeare's works. By the way, NPG's Searching for Shakespeare exhibition opens today.
3) Watched Downfall. The last scene where Hitler's secretary confesses that she had little idea of their great atrocity seemed to me unconvincing. Then she said, 'Later I realised being young was not an excuse'. At the moment I cannot make any constructive comments apart from the intensity of Hitler's shaking hand, so I'll direct you to William Boyd's review.
