that seems to be the question on everyone's lips...

To dream the impossible dream : for work of all sorts to be finished, for nothing but blissful, mind-numbing sloth. At least for an hour, maybe...

hey there --

i actually totally see your point about saying the "fat subject" or the "obese body" is somehow ideally democratic (i.e., b/c overindulgence raises questions about democratic maturity, rationality). i found myself in a bit of a corner at first -- but i think your point (and my conclusion) of "does it matter?" is right on. we associate all kinds of moral/personal judgments w/body size. i think that that's pretty much just wrong - appearance is a weird mix of personal choice, environment & genetics. it's way off to assume that one "body type" is "democratic." so really, my paper ends up as a critique of that whole notion.

like the alice quotation too. it's really an interesting question - and politically relevant (especially when dealing w/issues of legal adulthood). but honestly, i'm not sure what the answer is.

It's the SG National Honor Society, where the elite go to bask in each other's glory. If you follow the link, it'll take you to our page and give you instructions on how to apply. You'd have to write an eloquent essay to gain admittance, but somehow I don't think that would be a problem for you.

I still have the original copy of Yertl the Turtle that my dad stole out of the library with which to teach me to read. I'd bet he's got one hell of a late charge.

You have to take the quiz!! *whines* That was not one of the options! Click the link and see which swear word you are. I don't want to know that you are a smelly pervert!

thanks for not thinking I'm hokey... that makes one of us.

i like your entry. that is something i've never considered... one thing among many. i guess by your definition i am a nomad and i think i have been my whole life. hmmm go figure? i actually learned something today

for me, i sum it up as pure vanity. i've had piercings because i like how they look and the same goes for my tattoos, though i put a great deal more thought into those. since they are permanent i think they should be a statement about me as a person and/or what is important to me. but that's just for me.

Yes, human beings do not deserve to survive.

Re: Beardsley - my best used bookstore score in a while was a fine copy of his unfinished novel, "Under the Hill," complete w/ his illustrations. I haven't really dug into it yet, but the prose seems as purple and lurid as one would expect from him, thank goodness.

As for your Rilke-related question above: I know that when I'm writing at my best (to my eye, at least), I'm keen on all sorts of "masks," but at the same time, the more artifice (wordplay, intertextual reference, etc.) there is to the surface of the work, the more I feel like I'm able to actually put forth what I need / want to say. Hardly a revolutionary concept, of course, and I'm not even sure if I articulated it clearly, but there you have it.

I've always been able to express boredom better than any other emotion. if the smoke and mirrors didn't fool you the dirty fingerprints would skew your vision enough. All honesty, I liked out guilding the glass sounded...

an emotional outbreak, stepped on by people's feet, controlling panic, who'll be the next one in line, a nervous disturbance, there's a sniper on the top of the roof, the masses of people, fitting through one single door

Mass Hysteria

Just wanted to say thanks for that terrible limerick! It brightened my day.

yeah see where you going. he kinda just shrugs off looking into the eye and say "I see" or something and although he refers to it not being his time it never feels like he knows what his time is - not even really in the last scene
