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.

Home Sweet Home

After three long days of being deprived, my Internet is functioning again. No real reason as to why it stopped, but at least my fears that it had something to do with illegally downloading files have been allayed. But it's back, I am the happiest I have been in years and I am glad to have some homeostasis (nevermind instant messenger) back in my life, and more importantly, my room.

Now that I have the ability to speak again, so to speak, of course I have very little to say. We drank beer in honor of Juan, celebrated a friend's birthday, my class has been hard at work (hardly working) on our video project, and I spent the day in Burlington with Jack eating well, drinking coffee, and picking sale racks in search of things to wear this weekend in Montreal and next weekend at graduation. I picked up two sweaters at the big Ann Taylor Loft sale that will probably do the trick. Unless on the off chance I find something else while in Canada this weekend, the what to wear question has been answered. As always, nice to see Jack. Then I came home and fell into a deep deep sleep, coma-like, from 6 - 9pm, scuttled about Montreal with some debate-types, and now the terribly uninteresting ordeal of typing everyone's handwritten video description awaits me - we're making a "booklet" describing our work for Saturday's performance. Least I can do really - and my video still isn't ready to go, so it is literally the least I can do.

Here's to tea, sectretarial work, watching Wes Anderson's commentary on the Tennenbaums again, listening to Wilco, navigating cyberspace, and getting to bed within the hour.
