new buildings aren’t supposed to have scary, whistling wind
March 1, 2011
This new campus was just opened in 2008. But when I’m out here at night, with the eerie, whistling wind, I sometimes feel like I’m in a scene from Herzog’s Nosferatu.
[ADDENDUM: I just searched amidst the many YouTube Nosferatu excerpts for my favorite part, but cannot find it. It’s the part when Dracula arrives at the ship hidden beneath the pile of black coffins, and the ship crew have the following conversation: “Very strange.” “Yes, but the papers are completely in order.” So they bring the coffins on the ship, and everyone is killed.]
