more nightmares, but knitting
because jamilah leant me to this book, see, called "Friday Night Knitting Club." the writing is pretty mediocre--what i'd write, if i was still trying to write fiction--but it's all new york, all women, all knitting all the time and i just couldn't not anymore. too, i finally asked myself what would make this a vacation and not an endurance test ( Read more... ) -

i love the washington post horoscope.
it gets me every time.
For Monday, June 15 -The universe is challenging you right now to be more tolerant.

tonight i came home from class
and, thinking i had an hour and a half until tom comes home, smoked a little, turned up some tunes, and started getting shit done. when he walked in the door fifteen minutes later, i was delighted--he trumps hanging out alone, almost every time--but he was surprised to me (we can't keep each other's schedules straight to save our lives) and, i ( Read more... ) -

hear it here first, folks
I'd like to hereby acknowledge that I am fully aware of the following fact: I will, after a few decades of philosophical, juridical and ontological investigation, return to music. When I do, I will be following in the footsteps of Kant, Nietzsche, Adorno, and countless others of these people whose thoughts I keep thinking and rethinking. I secretly ( Read more... )
