i think that's called baseball
i'm glad i don't do movies more often. this week has been way too much, and i'm really wondering how in the world we're going to pull together a tok oral in the next one. more importantly, though, i finished hedda gabler and i'm trying hard to muster a reaction, but i don't think i have any. it's just kinda bland. after reading for ten or fifteen minutes it becomes mildly engrossing, but somehow it's still boring. it's like the author just scratched the surface of the story. yeah, that's it, it should be more detailed. the author was trying to get the reader to construct all of the characters' pasts and stuff, but i never got more than a vague impression of them because the descriptions and details were so scant. anyway...
in english on thursday we had to 'free-associate' the word 'victorian,' and i wrote a poem that i liked. anyone that's read the great train robbery or going solo might recognize a couple of ideas.
the Holy Land
Victorian
prostitutes
the Holy Land &
the great Train Robbery
colonies & barbarism
manipulable populace
smoke & soot & industry
wafting to the sky
Rigid
classes
morals
Plays
Alexander of Sax-Coburg-Gotha
bricks & metal
glass & sticks
rotting wood, black underneath,
no longer does space separate
A clean façade with moth-eaten corners
A happy time, for us none
