Wednesday... I have a 500 word "critique" due tomorrow on a photograph of my choosing. I really hate this assignment. I hate this class actually. I think art historians have to be among the most useless individuals in any given society. Followed, perhaps, by political scientists... but yeah... call me jaded or whatever, but 500 words isn't even worth the effort. It's busy work. It's...

Ok.. Monday afternoon. Back to work:
I made a 100 on my second test for this course I've been putting a lot of effort into. This was a six-essay test, and took three hours to complete. Most everyone else took an hour and a half, the class avg this time was a 94.4 or something but, that means I have two 100's, with only a...

I've just decided to never ever go to a club alone. Sad but true.
1. Mr. Craig was so entusiastic and he listened to R.E.M. with us.
2. sex. no, really.

1. harold lawson in high school. he was very hemingway .. the complete opposite of me. for some reason, he made me want to make him proud. i'd be too ashamed to turn in anything that was less than perfect. i chose him to give me my diploma at graduation. after that, i wrote him a letter telling him how wonderful he was and he responded with a hand-written letter of his own telling me that he learned more from me than i ever could from him.. *pride*
in college it was radhika parameswaran. she let us call her anything, so naturally i called her RAD.
she was an feminist indian lady teaching journalism in indiana. she taught me about the male gaze and was another one who i would be too ashamed to turn in anything less than perfect.
2. it should be journalism or history (my minor), but i have a horrible time retaining information.

Sunday night... saw Comedian today. Awesome Documentary, I thought. Did laundry. Had lunch with a friend. Went to a bookstore for some unknown reason... something I just shouldn't need to do for the next three years at least. (backlogged reading list)
48 hrs later and I'm still thinking about the "Ethnically diverse" comment that Heston made in "Columbine." I have this idea of the NRA...

I think I'm allergic to this cat. Something is up with my eyes lately. But I have decided that his name is Foucault. For the record, yes, I've been duly informed by everyone with the capacity to speak on the matter that it is NOT a cat's name and that it should be named something else, but to hell with that noise! Foucault it is....

Ok... so last night I acquired a cat. Long story short: the cat was abandoned, was going crazy inside a vacated apartment, I got it here, fed it and now it likes me. I feel so used!
But it's name is still up in the air. I won't decide until tonight. I'm leaning towards this author guy I like, but i would like to make...

is the cat a girl or a boy?

it's a boy
this is so great. I am home from work, and i don't have to read anything.. i'm caught up and i think that rocks. I had almost seven hours of sleep last night, and i can fuck off all night long or clean my apartment, or watch tv or anything... and be ok with it... not dealing with some "i should have been...:" guilt.

Actually no. I think the prices will continue to remain "Always Low." Since wages will be so severely depressed by the American worker's continued tendency to work longer and longer hours for less and less pay, unfortunately, there won't be an economic base left to purchase all of those "necessary items" at a higher price. I think the biggest change in American Economics will come when Unionization happens at Wal-Mart. Seven cents out of every dollar spent on the US Retail Market occurs at Wal-Mart. Their economy is larger than all the sub-Saharan African Nations GNPs combined!!!
Marx had a great two-paragraph summation of this idea where he explains it as how the Bourgeoise, in hiring the 'dangerous class' to work for them, "hire their own grave-diggers." And while the thought of the System and it's Ruling Class falling might be appealing, the reality that all that entails would suck too. If you're ever bored, look somewhere just before the middle of the Communist Manifesto and you should find it.

Ok rah!!! SO i had a test today on Hobbes' Leviathan, Rousseau's Second Treatise of Government, The Communist Manifesto, Wollstonecraft's 'Vindication', some Bentham, Hegel, Locke and John Steinbeck of all people, to boot. And I did well. I think.
I thought I bombed the last one and ended up with a perfect score... which now that I think about it, means Im probably dooming myself...

1. other people. they smell yummy. except for when they smell bad.
I also like lavender and jasmine.
2. No. I don't think anyone could pay me enough money to do that, because i have heart problems and i'd probably die if i ran that much.

1. A co-mingling of incense (nag-champa), smoke(bong), and perfume(i don't know the name, but I recognize it immediately). Takes me back to some of my happiest times
2. Not puked but gagged. I'll do it for eight bucks
What class was the test in? I would have assumed poli sci until I saw Steinbeck

1. what do you fear the most?
2. if you could do ONE thing... whether it defied any natural or unnatural law... one thing, not bound by the realities of what is and is not possible... what would it be?

1. being alone. change.
2. I would fly. No, no that's a stupid one. I would literally spread love everywhere I went. And i'd get some of that love, too.

I said the hail fathers and the our marys as fast as I could, but I was still drunk from last night and was slurring my words. I think I might have accidently said the wrong words because all the lights in my house went out and it started to smell like sulphur. Is it normal to hear sinister laughter from the basement after saying your prayers? I'm not a catholic so I don't know what to expect
What the hell... lets play 20 questions:
1. if you HAD to choose a way to die, how would you go?
2. if you had to give up one of your senses, which would it be.
*don't worry... #3-20 will get progressively more cheerful.

Ok... so it's GAME ON. 435 Seats in Congress. 34 in the Senate and 36 Governors fighting for their jobs. All of em up for the taking... ITS FUCKIN ON! Arkansas, Missourri, Minnesotta, Jersey, Colorado, New Hampshire and Georgia are in huge fights to switch/retain control, and Texas and North Carolina are especially interesting. FLORIDA is the shizznit in my book... JEB "I'll deliver Florida"...

DUDE!!! I LOVED DAN RATHER that night... that was the funniest shit I've seen in forever. I was convinced that Steven Wright had somehow managed to infiltrate the Election 2000 Studios and was pointing a gun at someone, making Dan Rather say the shit that was falling out of his face.

i thought i did really well, but after the papers were handed back the bitchass professor asked to see me and told me that she knew my focus of studies was on public relations and she made me rewrite the paper.
needless to say, we had a personality clash all semester .. which is interesting because my personality clashes with very few people.
1. philosopher
2. 60s .. that number increases as i get older
