Random cold. Sicker by the hour.

On a brighter note, I got to languish in the central library reading Glass, Irony, and God and drinking coffee. Mmm....Anne Carson and coffee...

Nothing to do today except for the things I need to do, which I won't do ever.

Been reading Harold Bloom's "Best Poems of the English Language". I love Bloom, because its just as much fun to disagree with him as to agree. Glad he included A.E. Housman in the book. Regardless of what anyone (cough) thought of The Invention of Love, he wrote some...

Dear Quilty,

My friend keeps bugging me to read Harold Bloom (I've just had an ill-fated brush with his asshole brother Allan). What do you recommend?

Homoerotic battle poems? I still think the biggest bunch of veiled homoeroticism is the Palestinian martyer worship. "Alas, our beautiful dead black eyed boys! Like an army of roses" Typically Levantine. A bunch of Adonis worshipers with no Cybele to balence things out

Eventful weekend, punctuated by six hours of Freaks and Geeks. So this is love.

Went to see bands play with a friend. Everything got weird because one of the guys playing is creepily obsessed with her, and was apparently wearing a ring that was supposed to symbolize his (unwanted) devotion. He was singing one song right up in her face, so she stared in the...

Wow sounds like a fun weekend. I would love to have a admirer like that.. Its almost stalkerish. Sexy.
Sorry things didnt work out with you and her though. But it was nice of you to be so cool about it.

Happy Tuesday.

Still not saving! Grrr...

I'm in the mood for a few period fims that are British and slow and really well made. ("What are you doing Sebastian?" "I'm arranging matches.")

Merchant-Ivory, here I come.

Thanks for the compliment, dear. If you're not dead yet, pull up a chair for that Merchant Ivory fest. I'll bring some big hats

For no reason I can fathom, I can't seem to save my favorite sgs. Oh well.

Saw a premier of The Stepford Wives remake last night, which may have resulted in a small and insignificant crush on Nicole Kidman--which, for me, is very weird.

In a Wildean moment, "What a dear, impetuous thing she is! I like her hair so much!" For serious, a great...

So.

Worked at a benefit for a crazy-good theatre company. Free martini's all evening. After a few hours, I felt distinctly like the voice of sobriety. Lots of very drunk people talking to me about art while I tried to clean up after them. ("Cause we, you and me, we're artists, so we get things other people don't get, I mean, they just don't...

I'm always the sober person lately, because I can't drink much without getting sick (stomach issues). It's actually fairly interesting from a sociological standpoint.

Wow I'm a dork.

Lots of odd plays.

My school did Footloose, the worst play of my life. I went to see it though and actually enjoyed it a lot. Thought process went something like: "Wow, I'm really enjoying this. Oh my god, I'm enjoying Footloose. Eek!" This was mostly due to all the good people in it, and the general, pervasive fun-ness inherent in terrible things from...

God, I really don't ever write in this thing.

The class for editing the student literary magazine has turned into student art film hell. Some common features of said films:
1. uncomfortably close close-ups
2. knives
3. emo soundtrack
4. a beautiful girl writhing in pain
5. shooting, stabbing, or beating with a blunt object (or any combination thereof)
6. the filmmakers themselves in several...

Oh, insanity. lots of not working around here, hanging out with the techies, mocking designers.

Also, drunken insanity and alcohol poisoning. And writing about people nearly dying from alcohol poisoning. All shit. If I have to freak out about my friends living or dying, I should at least be able to write something beautiful about it. Ugh.

Nothing else. Sort of tired and apathetic, except...

imagining fat you is funny.

i think, when you're here, we should only speak in crazy nonlinear poetry, like "placid orange decay bulldozes walled fructose." see, i can't even be as crazy as you when i'm trying to sound crazy. the point was that you can and will write all things beautifully.

em was using your "humbling moment" as her aim profile for awhile.

First entry, largely because my computer keeps crashing. It may do so at any minute. Oh, time is against me.

So...I'm in hell week for a play I hate. Thank goodness every tech rehearsal will bring me one day closer to closing. One day at a time, like rehab.

Only three more weeks until I see Humbert again. Huzzah, say I, like a good jew....
