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.

Predictions & Prophecy

(1) MIT will likely be the best or worst debate trip ever. Too hard to say at this point, I guess it all comes down to being fortune's fool or just fortuitious. At this point, about 300 pages stand between me and even picking up my mini van keys tomorrow. Like the fashionable woman I am, we're going to be fashionably late. We told the novii to go to the bathroom before they get in the car because we aren't stopping. I bought $100 worth of snizaks at the grocery store today so we're wine and cheesin' it all the way to Beantown.

(2) Duncan says he's going to break the all time debate slut record this weekend, that would mean hooking up with four people in one night (topping the current record holder), or hooking up with three(tying the record) and then convincing Phil to give him a handjob or something to pull ahead in the ranking. I predict that he will not. If on the very off chance he does... my prediction is that McGill will be an outright, slutastic, free for all, some of us have a legacy at stake.

(3) Dan will not even start his Shakespeare paper that is due tomorrow and he will not get any sleep. He will fall asleep in the car, we won't prep any cases, his bad vision will cause us to miss important exit signs. We will go 2-3 while he whines about not finishing his work. Also, since he insists on wearing pants with a 40" inseam on his 29" frame, I predict he will drop his drawers in PMC. Then, jim bean will get involved, we will argue some dumb case about zoning and Chinese restaurants, we will be bitter, loud, drunk... then arrested.

(4) Mike Cooper, who just didn't bring / wear any underwear for the entire Fordham trip, will free ball it again in bed, just for fun. Maybe Duncan will break the record afterall.

I learned a very valuable lesson today. Basically, if you leave a case of diet coke in your trunk in freezing weather, it will explode, leaving weird alumnium shrapnal and brownish-ice everywhere. On the bright side, it will be a solid mess that you can scoop up and throw away - much easier to clean-up than an exploded liquid can of cheery nutrasweet water. Live and learn. The ironic thing is that this was a contenous case of diet coke that was the subject of a bickering session at home.
