saw the freakiest movie last night: the original Alfie, presented on VHS by Joan Collins! Seriously. And I'm guessing that she and her staff never even saw the film (they released it mid-80s; it came out mid-60s) -- i think they were just thinking it was titilatting and risque. Risque alright...

oh my god, the oklahoma story is anything but interesting...the bank my husband works for sent him here to work on a project...he's a fraud analyst...he loves it here, which has caused us to become a bit disconnected, I think...right now he has his own life and I guess I have mine...but I'm not too worried...I'm sure we'll go back home soon and things will go back to normal...
I guess since I'm in the thick of my education, it's hard to appreciate it...but it's nice to get a fresh perspective...hopefully, it will help me slow down and enjoy it more...thanks so much for listening to my ramblings, I think I really need it and I appreciate it...

Teehee! Didn't I tell you that SG would eat your life? 
It must have been hard doing childhood memories, while missing your mum. My mum is very fond of getting rid of stuff, so what's left of my childhood memories already resides with me. Oddly enough, I hardly remember my childhood. I think that I spent most of my time with my head in the clouds and my eyes in a book. (I do remember playing bondage fantasy games with my Barbies though. 
) And yes, Bridge to Terabithia still is an amazing read. It still makes me cry and ponder the nature of loss and the tenderness of honest, intimate friendship.
I think that you are doing fine on SG. Just keep commenting in journals that you find interesting, join some groups, where other members share your interests, be patient. You will meet some amazing people, but just like in real life, it sometimes takes a while to find them and develope a rapport. Really you get out of SG what you put in.
I'm going to go look at your gamelan site now.
PS~ Wanna be my friend?

dear god, I am so addicted to npr...so embarassing...I have no business listening to Neal Boortz...
I'm focusing on 20th cent american art...it's what I'm really interested in, but this semester I'm studying renaissance art...
Do you write for a canadian journal or something? For some reason, every writer I know in boston writes for some obscure journal...strange, eh?

back from the dead... literally. my mum died last fall and we're just now getting her house in order to sell. could have been the suckiest weekend of my life.

Oh so sorry to hear about your sucky week. *stari squish of sympathy* 
How are you settling into SG? Things going ok otherwise with life and etc?
You play gamelan?! I love gamelan music! Tinkle, tinkle, chime, clangclang, chime. *spins in the rhythm of percussion and ring of chime*

I'm so sorry you had a tough weekend lovey...on the plus side at least you don't live in oklahoma...yeah, I really live here for now, but only for another year at the most...I'm hoping for BC or BU for grad school...I hate to say it, but all the stereotypes are really true for this area of the country...People here still use the word "yankee" as an insult
Do you jog? I started again a few months ago after a two year hiatus...The gym is always so crowded and germ-filled, I decided it might be better just to run...I ran track in high school, but jogging has really been kicking my ass...I feel like a toddler learning to walk...
I would have taken pictures for you at the exhibit if I had known you were into Islamic art...Despite all the schmucks, it was an excellent show...

so, some cheeky students in montreal held a major protest the other day -- blocked a highway for awhile, which i think is coool. for more reasons than one: a.) b/c they actually fucking care a little bit about protecting their opportunities to study, and b.) b/c it shows that even the uber-liberal province of quebec is willing to fuck students off over money, which...

Friday I'm co-hosting a pakistani miniature paintings exhibit at the gallery I volunteer at...Sounds exciting, huh? Can you imagine the wild & crazy crowd that will be attending?

Hello there!
I was running a quick search of the site to see if people were actually talking about this and... well, you're the only one to have mentioned it it seems!
Although not a student anymore, I was in the streets with them on March 22nd and I fully support this movement!
I'm trying to figure out how much coverage we're getting outside the province. Where did you hear about this? Do you still get some updates?
To give you a little idea, this is still going on and things are actually getting worse! Check out for yourself what happened today:
Allegedly, other groups (more drastic ones) had infiltrated the protest. Today the Province's Premier was meeting with a whole lot of wealthy business types to discuss how they're gonna exploit (destroy) our resources in the northern part of the Province. There's even a short clip of him making fun of what was going on outside, literally mocking the protesters, with everyone attending the meeting laughing loudly. Needless to say, we're pissed!

yeah, I can understand why people thought Lost in Translation was overrated...The movie had a lot of parallels to my own life, so it holds a special place for me...otherwise, I probably would have hated it...

And no, you can't be my friend, because I have a one in one out policy, so it doesn't get too big. But if you bookmark me, it's like the same thing.
The montreal protest did look crazy.
