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.

I wanna go to Ireland too

Even though this is proving to be one of the most auspicious weeks for travel on any calendar in recent memory, I still wish that I were tagging along with the debate crew to the green isle tomorrow to go to a tournament in Dublin and then play for the remainder of spring break. I know that not too long ago I talked and reminisced about the trip I took to Dublin in 2000. I had such a good time - and really, it was the last overseas trip I've made. I do a fair amount of not staying in the same place for very long, but I am overdue for real travel again...

::Breaking news:: Bush speech in about 20 mins. I think it's freaky how war has become the latest spectator sport in America. Turn on MSNBC and they have a "count-down" on counting down something. Just as Iron Chef turned cooking shows into a combattant sport, now news channels have an eerie air of Superbowl-pre game shows. News junkies have emerged in the last few years as the most fervant of local fans... I don't know, I might be more cut out for cultural studies rather than film - this is just a very interesting time to be alive. Anyway, like any devoted fan, I need to get back to my game, uh, I mean war.
