The wonderful and terrible thing about art is the opportunity it gives the viewer for self-reflection. You see a movie and you think, "Oh my God, that's me!" You hear a song, and wonder if the lyrics were merely photocopied from your diary, or if the pages were, in fact, torn out. You see a play and at intermission, contact the author's literary ( Read more... )

The best thing about driving from St. Louis to Atlanta by myself was singing really, REALLY loudly in the car. If someone else had been there, I would have been worried (at least a little) for their ears, and so would have kept my volume to a dull roar. Seeing as I was alone, I didn't pull my punches - nor did I pay particular attention to pitch ( Read more... )

My dinner was delicious, and it was handed to me without any sort of ( Read more... )

We went house hunting today, and I think it's something I could get addicted to. The hardwood floors were so shiny, the appliances were so clean, the rooms were so open... it was nice. Now I'm in a fervor over the places we looked at, and I want to look at more. It's exciting - it's fun - it reminds me of when my parents and I used to look at ( Read more... )

On a cold winter night, as I lie in bed sipping green tea and doing some not-so-required reading, there is nothing I want nearly so much as I want to burn some incense. Fuck you, WVA.

I'm reading High Fidelity again - this is probably the fourth time. I'm also working on Everything is Illuminated, three Restoration plays, and my history textbook( ( Read more... )

Why on Earth did we have classes today? The roads looked the way they do in post-apocalyptic movies - it was crazy. I think I could have done a better job clearing the roads using a spatula and a salt shaker ( Read more... )
