Ali Lotz's Les Fumeurs
In its most basic sense, Les Fumeurs is a black and white film showing individual portraits of fifteen people smoking cigarettes. As the sitters are alone onscreen and in their private moments, each person’s smoking tics and idiosyncrasies become clear. They smoke at their own pace, until they finish. And one by one they leave the shot, and their picture disappears.

Dispatch: The Art of Textbook Searching
“A First Course in Probability by Sheldon Ross, 9th Edition.” It checks all the boxes of a pain–in–the–ass textbook: 1) It’s required. 2) The one–month–old 9th edition invalidates the 8th edition that everyone from last semester’s class is trying to sell. 3) On Campus Express it’s $194. Enough is enough. I'm finding a reasonably priced textbook, damnit.
