(no subject)
today I learned how to define multiplication and division on the real numbers (represented as equivalence classes of cauchy sequences of rationals).
I also learned about the axioms of set theory and have, from thence begun to build everything from the ground up in a world where there are only sets (pure set theory buh-bam!). got as far as defining ordered pairs.
last night I watched people and shot the shit with my dearest landlord, Burch, over a plate of delicious seasoned fries at le voyeur downtown. then we went to top foods and stole little bites of candy from the bulk section and systematically smelled all the shampoos and lotions and whatnot in the "natural" section (we found some really interested ones such as: a very good musky boy smell, a dirty firecracker boy smell (tres sexy), a germany/spa smell, a london smell, a childhood hippie smell (we both grew up using the green shampoo with the brown conditioner of deliciousness), a marigold & horses smell, a green smell, and a bubbly-water smell). then we drank beer and watched a terrible tv show and giggled at it.
tomorrow I go to the tonasket barter fair to wander around amongst hippies, shivering and hungry, with my third eye open wide.
just now I was reading some crazy papers my friend wrote and talking about the nature of reality, time, god, etc (all them big things)
this is a pretty good cross-section of my life in olympia.
it's good.
sadly, I am surrounded by amazing people and still manage to feel incredibly lonely. I miss home. I miss the kids down in oaktown, thems that moved to the new york, the pantses up in seatown, the beth's, the "49" bus (I still think 7 in my head), the empty streets of ballard at night, the tree, the tunnel & beach, the ridiculously tragic houses of too-much-partying, the game, the free coffee & icecream on the ave, the the the...
but lets not dwell on this, because now is all we have. speaking of which, why are you staring at a computer? speaking of which, why am I typing this?
(i suppose I care about y'all enough to drop a line now and again after all)
