The 7 Simple Truths of Acting for the Teen Actor Book

I've been watching a lot of 8 1/2, and I keep on thinking of this book, Proust, Fitzgerald, House of Leaves and just get this feeling that this stuff works together or is related or something like that.

The first time that I saw Fellini's 8 1/2 my mind immediately raced back to this book and to its focus on a total body way of making, or in this case expressing, art. 8 1/2 had that same feeling that lingered around it's edges, in its dark places, and in its jests. It was a total experience, something that not only broke and re-broke a line, or a rule, but that formed this line after breaking it and was self aware as the process was occurring.

from The Free Dictionary

infinite loop - (Or "endless loop") Where a piece of program is executed repeatedly with no hope of stopping. This is nearly always because of a bug, e.g. if the condition for exiting the loop is wrong, though it may be intentional if the program is controlling an embedded system which is supposed to run continuously until it is turned off. The programmer may also intend the program to run until interrupted by the user. An endless loop may also be used as a last-resort error handler when no other action is appropriate. This is used in some operating system kernels following a panic.

A program executing an infinite loop is said to spin or buzz forever and goes catatonic. The program is "wound around the axle".

A standard joke has been made about each generation's exemplar of the ultra-fast machine: "The Cray-3 is so fast it can execute an infinite loop in under 2 seconds!"

Except that in this case, sadly, the loop ends.
