disappointment mitigated by fun with lasers

Friends,
We have let nearly 3 months go by without a post on here. Now, I'm assuming that I am not the only person out there who is always looking for a good reason to procrastinate. And considering that everyone is assiduously working on "dissertation writing," by my calculations it is high time for some more activity on this space. In the spirit of taking it back to the days when style was WAY more important than what was going on in the classroom (and I realize that for some these days have never ceased) I'm passing on this site, recently sent by a friend with rad 80s style. My challenge to you (so as to continue procrastination) is do you have lasers??? My youngest sister did, but none of the rest of us -- hence many years and just another reason for our completely justified older sibling torment of her. Also this raises the question of whether the laser/school portrait thing was a purely American trend ... anyone?
Enjoy,
Kx

a mock-up of how Badiou will look









Hot from the pages of the Nouvel Observateur:
" Jean-Luc Godard démarre en Grèce le tournage de son prochain film, «Socialisme», dans lequel apparaîtra le philosophe Alain Badiou dans le rôle d'un conférencier. "
Trans: Filming has just begun in Greece on JLG's forthcoming "Socialism" in which Alain Badiou will appear in the role of a lecturer.

I don't know why JLG is in bold, presumably he is seen to be more immanent than Badiou.

Having recently seen in person the authenticity with which Badiou plays a lecturer, I am sure that some of us will be wildly excited by the potential of a production which promises to marry the scope and scape of Le Mépris with a radical Pauline reworking of the trope of (etc.)

To avoid voiding what has preceded, I have now decided to restore just emphasis to Badiou by rouging him. For the camera...
