summer in the san fernando valley is unbearably hot and the general landscape is bleak anyway. that is my inside joke with that entry.
your project sound interesting although i dont totally understand it.
sorry to hear that youve been blue. ive been oscillating between just okay, to very stressed, to lonely and feeling like a geek (not in a good way), to satisfied (ive had some accomplishments). im on the upswing, though. vacation has its benefits!
sending warm wishes,

wow! good luck with that (the synthesizer).
i have been totally unmotivated to read or do anything intellectual at all lately. i guess dance and work zapped me out.
i visited chicago two summers ago- driving up from memphis. what a boring drive! but i got into chicago at midnight and ended up lost in some crazy neighborhood. people were hollering in the street and i nearly hit a man running around in his bathrobe.
i moped in my journal a bunch- kinda pathetic but theraputic nonetheless.

rain has canceled one of my excursions into the darkness, so i'm on the computer, taking it easy...it's weird being at home for more than a couple of hours at a time, without my brain being buried in a dvd, or composing something. i have too many emails to respond to, too many unfinished essays to make more boring, and too much deleuze to misread....

pygmy tagged me. it was difficult to come up with twenty things, but i will do it on the fly...
1.when i was a very young laddy, many people (teachers educators, parents) thought i had asberger's. i still kinda think i do.
2. i am extremely allergic to pollen. at best my eyes will water, but in late summers i sometimes get asthma attacks. i...

true that- maybe its all that folly-talk.
what is happening with antonioni? did he die? i cant say im terribly familiar with his films. ive seen blow up and thats it.
just watching the menu of the five obstructions is quite entertaining. its really very sweet as a story- and has some achingly beautiful moments cinematically.

i can think of twenty interesting things to say about myself. i only came up with eight, how about that?
i've had so much to do, that i don't have time for crushes. that's a first. i think i'm entering into a new phase of life. more reasons to smile, les reasons to be down on myself. less reasons to stop.

i am reading an amazing book, Poetics of Space by Bachelard. it's an amazing text about the home and location, especially everyday space. i've been a little resistant to phenomenology and critical theory, except for a few notable exceptions (merleau-ponty and blanchot) but this is a warm, lovely philosophy of experience and architechture. nice for these times.

hah! i actually own 2046 and have not watched it! our good tv broke and we havent yet fixed it and i dont have the heart to watch it on my old crap tv. i would really like to see it in the theater, though. have you seen Ashes of Time?
you like john maeda!

i dont think ashes of time is any more comprehensible with english subtitles. ive seen it a bunch, though, and just love it. all those spinning bird cages and the most romantic scene between a woman and a horse ever filmed!
i dont hate mondrian at all. my boyfriend's dream is to study under john maeda at the mit media lab. he is completing his portfolio for his application due in december. fingers crossed!

i don't want to be single
i don't want to be moody all of the time
i don't want to be a shitty poet.

Gah, a side project of Pelican as an improv rock outfit? Now you've heightened my sadness about not being on that road trip. Oh well. I hope it goes well for you.

You're welcome!
I have to ask-- how did the pastel hold up in the cd case? I was worried about static electricity swilling up all the dust off the paper.

here's to being beset by contentment! this has been a lovely summer, and i've found myself going out, being somewhat fearless. my syntesizer misses me though, and i always say: "you have to wait!" i've been think about poetry based on tiny gestures, ones smaller than a penstroke.
here's a poem that i realized:
until the season

Hey, just to let you know, I'm letting go of some of my art. No sales pitch or anything, I just thought you'd like to know.
Hope you're still doing alright.
