the female gaze

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.

Do you really need to discard (the dairy product of choice) when the sell-by date comes and goes??

I finally broke down and bought The Royal Tenenbaums. I figure as long as I am buying from Amazon's used market place DVDs and the cost of a DVD is roughly the cost of seeing a movie (and I am not going to the movies) then it's easy to justify getting about 1 DVD per week.

The studying is going painfully slow. I already napped once this evening and I don't know what I am capable of retaining. So I continue to be a waste of space. Hoping that my false confidence and grasp of colorful language will guide me through yet another bull-shittable art history exam.

On a sodden note, today makes day six : the last day within the socially accepted and reasonable grace period as determined by group consensus, for those of you waiting with bated breath. If you have no idea what I am talking about, it's better that way. Maybe six was arbitrary, maybe I'm willing to cut too much slack, maybe rules and standard practices don�t apply to every situation. Lately it's been hard to deal with much because I feel like I am only getting glipses and those "obstructed view: half-price seats" kind of insight while I am trying to make big and important decisions.

When given the choice, I still prefer decisive action to lingering neutrality.


I need to kick my pink-bubblegum habit. Do they make nicorette for bubblegum addicts, or does that defeat the point? In any case, I think I need a nutrasweet patch or another 10 packs Extra classic bubblegum flavor. If you have had this particular flavor before, I am sure you know what I am talking about, if you haven't tried it yet, you simply must: but don't say I didn't warn you.
