result!!

sounds great! I've a few friends who work in that sector, though more in the mentoring or fundraising areas.... I have great respect though I don't think I could do it

happy for you though

boring? god no!

the mentoring I don't think I'd have the patience or empathy, fundraising I can't do the hard sell

animal testing, yeah it's a tricky one.... I hate the concept and we've all seen the horendous vivisection pictures on those stalls in the street..... but; for some things there is no other way I guess, and how do you stack the life of a mouse or dog or pig or whatever against that of a person. I do wish though there was more centralised pooling of results and developments, so that the same tests aren't being repeated or duplicated unneccesarily

i just found out i got the next 6 days off!! whoooo!
so since i got the weekend off too, we could go camden during the day! i haven't done that for aaages! the camden weekend thing that is. so let me know if you can do either saturday or sunday. i really need to go to that gun shop... i was looking at the site again last night and.. it felt like i was a teenager looking at porn sites. oh, i'm so gonna buy one.. or two..
they're fuckin pricey, and i may owe 12000 to my bank and i may be reaching my limit on my credit card, but i'll be damned if i don't buy somethin from in there!!
i'm a bit excited..
i'll let you know about friday night.

My last paper was centered on an artist, Coco Fusco, and how she challenges the way institutions (museums, and other cultural institutions) present stereotypes (usually over-sexualized... and scandelous stereotypes) as the "savage untamed other". However, she also explores how the cultures that are often represented by these stereotypes use the stereotype in the tourist industry. Thus, it becomes a self-fulfilling process. Westerners expect the "savage" and the culture presents it to them to boost the tourist industry... It becomes this theatrical thing

I've been reading a lot of Homi Bhabha's Location of Culture. And there was this great essay on Coco Fusco, (as well as a transcription of an interview with Fusco and fellow performer Nao Bustamante) by Caroline Vercoe called Agency and Ambivalence: A Reading of Works by Coco Fusco in Body Politics and the Fictional Double. Very cool... actually I recommend the whole book.

That's sort of where I'm at. I really need to re work my essay now that I have some more ideas... but hopefully I'll get it published someday.

damn your doc was an asshole!!!!

my usual doc is really good, i just couldnt get to see her that day

awwww well, sure it'll work itself out

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I thought you read it already? I'll send it to you anyway.

And yes, it's kinda weird about that photo, eh?

ah right, cool, thanks

I just stopped in after seeing your in in the Tattoo thread, and i wanted to comment on how lovely your scars are. I've got a thing for scars, don't know why

sounds like you've made the right decision, to leave your job.

I just read through the comments and see who catches my eye. Somedays it takes me a long time. But yesterday I found 2 people right away. It isn't hard for me to think of things to say. I tend to ramble in real life so I just let it come out on paper. That dosen't however mean that the reader finds it interesting. Or can read it for that matter. My spelling and handwriting are terrible. I hope you injoy my letter.

If you need anything let me know.

Um did you hallucinate by some kind of agent or just on your own?? Can I ask that??

I used to analyse my dreams, back when I was interested in psychoanalysis, but came to some rather glib and unlikely conclusions and decided it was a bit of a waste of time, or even counter-productive.

Besides, I think most things in dreams can usually be explained by a combination of events during the day...

The reason I only quote fragments of dreams in my journals is cos that's usually all I remember, and it seems kind of dishonest to try and reconstruct something more coherent.

i fucking hate words. because they are meaningfully less than what i feel or think & could express in nothing but being if we were to spend any fucking time together. i resolve...i shall quit smoking within two weeks & i shall find my way to you within a year. if someone gifted me with a trip to see you i would take it rather than feel ashamed for need .

it can't be much longer.

i do love.
& it's you.

i did ya 2 cd's of musical goodness.
well it's good to my ears....

Many beers. I found out that maths and "Old Speckled Hen" do not mix earlier in the week.

You're shitting me! I absolutely adore Lukas Zpira, I've been following his work for years! And no one else ever knows of him!!!

The arm looks lovely, congratulations.

If I told my mum that you mentioned the curtains were nice then she would be thrilled.

She doesnt understand irony though.

you've inspired me to track down this curiously popular book so I can develop an opinion about it

I have been the beneficiary of an impromptu Da Vinci Code denunciation on a university religious board by a fiery Catholic student - apparently it needs to be de-nounced

Oh, he's smooth alright. But whereas he got all the charm, wit and good looks, I've had to rely on sass and base cunning.

A Very Long Engagement was a great film, Audrey Tautou was great in it.

I still need to see Constantine. It's all about having the time.
