Down New Mexico way
so i might be taking a roadtrip with Aunt Jeanine to Santa Fe for a poetry thing her friend is throwing. one of the people who will be attending is an actual Beat poet, and so i thought this was an important oppertunity to take advantage of. Especially given my graduation from Naropa and all. i think it will be really fun.
we went to DU today for a tour and to meet with some people. it's a lovely campus and i am excited by the possibility of being part of an acedemic community again. i just hope i'm ready and good enough to not be a total failure there, i hope i have the chops. last night i kind of had a "oh my god wtf am i doing?" but i think that moment passed. i think it's just still "the unknown" which always completely freaks me out, but everyone was very nice and we were told that i can sit in on some classes if i want, which will help this anxiety that i can't control and don't completely understand.
on the Midwinter Graces front....yeah. that really is the cover. for a second, i almost liked it better with the angel, but then i went back to being a little embarrassed and a lot confused. i kinda like it when i think of it as a Dali painting, and i really, really like that deep blue. the thing that worries me now is that the band, including Mac Alladin, is back. i hope her classical side really does shine throough, but the inclusion of the band makes me worried that the piano will get pushed back again. but who knows. maybe it will be like Under the Pink (yes, i know it is probably a long shot, but the gituars and drums work well with the piano on that record, so maybe, maybe it will here too.) i'm still excited. but i'm also a little anxious.
Maysa is coming day after tomorrow. tomorow i make cookies for her. yay! time for fun!
