Fame, that song was first used and made intolerably popular over here by Mike Nichols' film Closer. I like the song; the whole album's good, actually.

By the way, I've been trying to get back into physical exercise (instead of simply cerebral masturbation all the time) this week, and though my mind seems fine, my body is fucked.

After just one lap round the big lake we have here on campus, I went to bed t'other night and fell into such a deep sleep that I was rather quite delirious, as if I had some sort of fever. I woke up at one point crying because I dreamed that somebody told me all The Sopranos spoilers. Then I woke up later on half-way through falling out of the bed. I have never fallen out of the bed.
