This morning the air was balmy before the sun had even begun to bake down. It was the perfect opportunity to listen to Panda Bear's 'Person Pitch' while biking up a steep and winding hill across town into a shimmery sprawling park, which I believe una shot a set in.
At the top were a stand of oaks and horse chestnuts, the perfect trees for crack-climbing between the fused trunks, until they spread apart to allow for chimneying. I monkeyed around alone for a long time and decided that early morning solitary springtime hilltop tree climbing is...unspeakably good. "It's a good thing." If you don't know the origins of the quote, THAT's a 'good thing.'
Then the boy joined me, a climber himself, and we were able to document the event.
However, I wasted half the day...honestly really the whole day just kinda having fun, scrambling around in the rare bit of sunlight, climbing, biking, sneaking into buildings, sunbathing on roofs...
And now, I have the rest of the night to finish MY ENTIRE THESIS!!! AOUI(@#()*()@$!
For those of you who've been hearing about it for a while, thanks for sticking with me, and for the support. Someone please tell me I can write 10 pages tonight. It's the final push, the rhetoric of the 1996 welfare overhaul which played on the politics of fear and disgust. "The Politics of Disgust" is an incredible book by Ange-Marie Hancock, dwelling mostly on the construction of the 'welfare queen' and the raced and gendered implications of the legislation. My thesis is adding "the politics of fear" to the equation. Not only are welfare recipients constructed as immoral and indolent, they're made out to be dangerous, otherwise the punitive legislation would not be justifiable. The authors of the overhaul bills, and conservative contributors to the senate hearings leading up to PRWORA all mention "the growing poor," consolidated within big cities and reproducing at alarming rates. They play on alarmist over-population discourse and a lot of Christian moralizing crap as well. Somehow I've got to tie this all together, sifting through the plethora of bills and hearings I've been reading.
ONE last night. I hope to god I can have this beast done with.
Because I have to prepare a 30 minute talk on it by Saturday for a small convention.
Phew.
And I keep getting distracted by all the beautiful women on this site. Damn suicide girls! Damn fatality and ginary for being so hot.
