I am presenting at this conference tomorrow, I am totally unprepared, and I am nervous. I will be able to prepare today after my classes but I am getting so anxious.

Yesterday I saw Lee Edelman give a conference called "Pornographic Posthumanism and the Queer Event." It was awesome...Edelman is really charismatic. I do not know if I should even try to summarize his argument because I have not fully thought out what it means yet. We did watch this porno clip though, from "Breeding Season" by Paul Morris (??). Essentially there are a bunch of anonymous dicks cumming into shot glasses. The cum is put into a mold and frozen into "The Devil's Dick." Which is licked, sucked, etc, but ultimately is melting. Edelman talked about how this shift away from a solid phallic symbol (and towards the asshole and bodily exceretion-ie waste-) queers hetero-normative practice.

I walked home from Tenleytown yesterday and got Vaces on the way! later I ate ice cream! I am trying to have a BBQ with my parents and friends at my house when they are in town. Bob is a party animal, even at 62. Summer.
