tonight's self-harm theatre is Francis Coppola's Apocalypse Now, the theatrical cut. we have a history with this film, one indissolubly associated with Caltech because (a) that's where we saw the movie first, a few times in fact and (b) like Col. Kilgore's air cav unit, the Caltech dorm known as "Blacker House" had an obnoxious fondness for Wagner and "The Ride of the Valkyries", and would traumatize students with it during finals week (and other times). so far as I know they're still doing it.
if there were one place on Earth I'd feel most tempted to bomb flat, for reasons of sheer personal animus, Caltech would be pretty high on the list of candidates. silly of me. Caltech made us what we are today.
