Back.
My job is very stop & go, so I find myself killing time online, five minutes here & two minutes there etc. I keep sending out emails with links to those of you I imagine might care, but I think for people with jobs that matter, it's getting annoying. So I thought I'd start using livejournal for a human interest blog of sorts. I hope it will be charmingly less intrusive. Interests are totally worksafe, namely low carb cooking, abortion politics, craft how-to's, gymorexia, how much I love Philadelphia, historical fun facts, Lindsay Lohan, urban environmentalism, all the crappy tv I adore, crime, & fashion.

My tender little teeth got ripped out Tuesday morning. The surgeon was lovely, the surgery was painless. The sound of dental surgery was one of the most excruciating things I've ever had to listen to. I couldn't figure out what was happening; I just sobbed and shook. It was unbelievable. It was almost art it was so awful. I felt pretty rotton until I got myself painkillered & ice packed & nestled in my library-books-and-blankets fort on the couch. I'm really dizzy and disoriented, so I tend to stare at the tree for hours, coming in and out of consciousness. I've been watching that gorgeous PBS Blues documentary with my dad, and just when I gave up on finding a mutual interest with my mom, she put in the first Lord of the Rings movie & I rather liked it, to my surprise. I've been having pleasant murmur-talks with them, nothing heavy just comfortable and homey. I've been writing letters in my head that I will have to translate out of Oxycontin and send along soon. I'm feeling kind of lucid right now, albiet wobbly. I think I'll be myself by Friday. (happy hols. I hope you are well. xoxo.) | | Friday, December 12th, 2003 | | 12:40 am |

I hoped to figure out the heart, breath, and brain tonight, but I've only finished studying the circulatory and respiratory systems. I'll have to get nuerons with all the sex and flowers tommorow. I think I own this biology midterm, I declared my major this afternoon, and I'm satisfied with registration. ( None of my classes are compromises. )I've got the White Stripes song in my head -- "just don't know what to do with myself" -- and a languid Kate Moss elegantly lolling around a pole, all black and white like she means it or something. I've also got miles and miles of silk on my mind -- every color wrapped around all those beautiful women -- I'm thrilled Shruti Laya is almost here. Every year, every year it's my favorite for the whole year, and fuck, this year one of my best friends is in it and she's going to be so death-defyingly hot. I never feel this proud about much else that goes on here; I don't know, the women who put this on just seem to elude everything problematic about this strange, strange environment to give the most resplendent, vivacious performance. They dance so fast so sure so free you can barely catch how beautiful each one is you just see them all moving together. and you're sort of part of it? | | Wednesday, October 29th, 2003 | | 12:54 pm |

Optik Photographic Organization presents the Exhibition Opening
in conjunction with Open House for the Art and Music Department
"He had been thinking of going downtown and waking up Vivaldo—the only friend he had left in the city, or maybe in the world—but now he decided to walk up as far as a certain jazz bar and night club and look in. Maybe somebody would see him and recognize him, maybe one of the guys would lay enough bread on him for a meal or at least subway fare. At the same time, he hoped that he would not be recognized." James Baldwin, Another Country
dude, exhibit openings = cheese platters I'm exhibiting a photograph that means the world to me. It's a close up of my late grandmother's copy of Folsom Prison. My dad found it in the basement this summer. Her death still overwhelms us. I found her box of recipes a few weeks before I left, and he was in shambles. The night when we put it on the record player for the first time, she was with us. You know. She was there. This I know, and it has nothing to do with religion --- you are not gone just because you are dead. I love her so bad, and so does he. I am enthralled by artifacts of her love for us or love for things we also love. I took this picture before Johnny himself died. So I guess this photo has some elegiac meaning for other people now. I kind of want to give the mounted photo printed on fiber paper to my dad for Christmas, but I think there's something sort of messed up about giving people presents that provoke fits of depression. |
