Look with your eyes, not with your hands.
Such a minute fraction of this life do we live: so much is sleep, tooth-brushing, waiting for mail, for metamorphosis, for those sudden moments of incandescence: unexpected, but once one knows them, one can live life in the light of their past and the hope of their future. A grad student muses on her life, film, friends, politics, reality televizzle, and music.

finished the laundry as planned. sent a long email to john and nates. watched jack on the news for the last time, well, the last time for a while. watched part of A Brighter Summer Day with Kaia in Bi Hall. Basically it's a cheap asian bootleg of a renowned, but horribly boring to watch, 4 hour Edward Yang film. I couldn't do any more than almost 2 hours, even with a 16 oz glass of wine... Just watched the smallpox season finale of er with Jack. I am pissed at the ending and this whole Carter / Abby thing, I know that everyone in the world wants them to get together, I don't. But in general, I don't want this season to end... such a good show. From what I hear Survivor Marquesas ends on Sunday, maybe I'll break down and watch the 3 hour finale, even though I haven't really seen 3 hours of the entire series... the thesis came between me and what I love, but when survivor comes back next fall, I am sure I'll be a good sport and loyal viewer. |
