Every night i read this novel... that was written in a language that was meant to fuck you up
I love how my physical therapist has informed me that I'm 'not ready to play the violin yet.' This is after asking how long I've had these pains (8 years) and how long I have taken off from violin (3 years). I'm just sayin' that I don't think starting again is completely unreasonable, as I really don't see how stopping for a few more months is going to change such a chronic issue! Maybe I'm still bitter about paying for her to inflict pain upon my wrists and shoulders twice a week, who knows?
Is purposefully failing a class wrong?
I've been grumbly about writing lately, feeling more like writing poetry, and not writing anything that I like anyway. Sunday we finally brought my desk and five big boxes of my books out of my parents' basement and into our new home, and in a box was a chapbook from my first fiction class at Naropa. I loved all the stories, even mine! Mine was good, mine belonged, mine was disturbingly separate from who I am! Why can't I write like that now??? Shane's made me especially happy. He has an amazing sense of rhythm and timing and people speaking that is just off kilter enough to be really fun. And where I can see some of my classmate's in their characters, I can see Shane's smile as he's scribbling this or that. Mike says that he likes almost any movie that looks like the crew had a good time making it, and I think I know what he means. It doesn't have to be a comedy to be fun, but there has to be that vibe of, "the artist got a total kick out of doing this" not "the artist got paid a shit=ton to pull this out of his ass".
Anyhow, how is everyone else doing?
