Back!
AIDS walk tomorrow, so I must sleep.
Very excited.

God, how cute is Bettina's new set?!
Not much new. Working, working, working.
And adventures in feminism! A coworker and I brought a roll of butcher paper, a few thick markers, and a bottle of glue down to a corner a few blocks away where someone had posted three large advertisements for a band called Beatnuts. The posters featured a woman in a bikini lying...

Crazy day.
I just got back from a trapeze class with my buddies. It was my friend's idea, because she's leaving for Israel for ten months very very soon and she wanted us to "bond as women". Oh man, I pulled myself up onto the bar and hung upside down and even got caught once. I was scared out of my mind most of the...

you know what else might help you bond as women, is welding yourselves to one another.

i just checked amazon.com's music bestsellers list and frou frou's details is #21! i haven't been keeping up with popular music so i was quite surprised, since the album is like 2 years old. so i'm wondering why the heck is it so popular? i didn't think she had a hit song recently. do you have any idea?
Exhausted. Working at art camp. Wonderful job (I get paid to play freeze tag with kids and help them make their artwork), but completely wears me down. That and not enough sleep. And too much coffee to make up for not enough sleep.
Have funny stories about my other job, but I have to go eat and read and SLEEP.

Yes, it's exciting! Although not as exciting as the picture above this comment...
The ex piercings are doing fine, I'm getting htem redone on my birthday. James was really mad i took them out, apparently that's just what they do when they're healing, or so he says. I promised to stick it out next time, which will distress Savannah I'm sure, as it will probably be at school...

Ack, been gone for the last two weeks in lovely Michigan, at a lovely writers' conference: a lovely reprieve from real life. Now I'm back and working (with a second job starting this weekend) and I am not a particularly happy camper, except that my girlfriend is driving over right now.
Went through four books during the trip and finished one that I'd already started....

I've updated my reading list, thanks. 
Hmm, beautiful people outside of books. Sometimes I think the only way I can relate to people is through their writing, though I'm always trying otherwise. This conference, was it for your own, or for work/school? I've never known any writers. In fact, I don't think I've ever met one. Hell, I don't think I've ever spoken to one.

Holy crap! I thought I was the only one who knows Anne Sexton's Love Poems.
I wrote a term paper on "Ballad of the Lonely Masturbator" in second year. That's when I developed a crush on Sexton that lingers to this day.

Life is pleasantly slow. I'm taking advantage of the unexpected opportunity to be lazy, as I'll probably be working both a day and an evening job through August.
Watched the most gorgeous movie last night--this Chinese film called Hero. The visuals were stunning, and the plot was compelling. It started out as a fairly straightforward good guys vs bad guys story, but it kept getting...

Happy two days with my girlfriend! We went hiking on a wonderful trail that usually ends at a waterfall, but (to to the obscene heat lately) ended in more of a trickle. Still, we looked for tadpoles, then left before the mosquitos ate us.
I'm feeling disgustingly happy.
Earlier, saw some really good Shakespeare and friends from school, all of which also made me happy....

i often find that being out doors with someone i love makes me obscenely happy too.

I'd love to see some of yours.
Thank-you. Actually I don't really have any writing collected in the formal sense. I write allot of e-mail, so most of it's in there. Since 1994 I've sent or received > 54,000 emails. I really think that is most responsible for developing my writing skills. Now I've also got this journal which has been really good for me, I think.
I sort of have a "complex" with writing. I used to write lots as a kid, particularly character development stuff for the science fiction and fantasy role playing games I was involved in. Through my father (always thinking of a profit motive), some game and comic companies became very interested in all these characters, and at that point it became a job, and not an outlet, when things like deadlines and money were involved, so I ceased to enjoy it, and the well dried up. Haven't written anything since then really except a couple of poems. It's all psychological. This is starting to change though; the ice is starting to melt. In the meantime, I've continued to read, so I don't think anything was lost. I just have to learn how to free the vivid imagination that I know is in there, hiding under so many layers of worldly concerns. Someday perhaps. Incidentally, I think all this is why I chose a polar opposite career path (engineering/computer science research). I'm hiding.
Ok, I know now what you mean by black box. I've seen a few of those. I tend to really enjoy the up close and personal type of theatre.
Congrats on your happiness. There's nothing in the world like the feeling of new love. Joyce doesn't really mix well with this anyway.

Padding around the house alone after watching Misery. Ugh, creepy as hell.
Visited my grandmother, who, in her more lucid moments, made me laugh hysterically. She's incredibly sharp. In her younger days, she was a big union activist. I wish I could be more like her sometimes. Neither my mother nor I are as quick as she is.

Wow, thank-you, I truly appreciate the compliment, especially coming from somone who is well read. Sometimes I feel the less thinking I do, the better the result. For example when I just wake up, rub my eyes, and let what I'm feeling right then just flow with no restrictions. When I'm really lucid, I can write crisp, sterile, technical type stuff really well, but I don't think it carries with it the same emotion. The rigid logical part of my brain imposes too many strictures I think. I tend to overanalyze. 
Do you study theatre or drama? The only blackbox I'm aware of is an X11 window manager with a small memory footprint.

Not that much to do, so I'm sitting around and eating. Mmmm...food.
I really should go run since I don't think I'll have a chance tonight, but it's far too hot.
I should also read more Ulysses since I have the chance. Maybe I'll read Ulysses in a cold bath. I hate the weather.

thank you so much for your suggestions. i have included a bunch of block's works, but not the one you mentioned. i'll have to read it. it's for an encyclopedia entry. i'll email it into my journal on monday if you want to check it out.
Movies, movies, movies! Constant and unending movie-watching.
Earlier in the wek, some friends and I got together to watch Gary Oldman movies because he is brilliant like the sun is brilliant. We watched The Professional, which was too sweet for words. Lots of violence, cuddliness, and a very twitchy Oldman. Then, Dracula--the crappy new version. Complete drek, so we played a little game in which...

Keanu Reeves sets the standard for actors reading things badly.
If people are supposed to be in another language but just... aren't... then they should forget the accents and just speak the lines well.

Ha--you're so right. Onegin was magical, had beautiful cinematography and art direction, but it was just lacking.
Good luck on the AIDS walk.
