jeffrey eugenides' "the obscure object" intoxicated my senses this week. apprearing in the 29 july issue of the new yorker, "the obscure object" tells the story of a fourteen year old girl's sexual awakening (both physically and emotionally) at the hands of a brother and sister... if only i can capture half as much of eugenides' imagination in my creative writing course which starts this...

hi! this is what i wrote in my journal about seeing the KOC here in NYC just a few weeks ago:
"i just got back from the best concert i have seen in years... it was the most close and intimate show i think i have ever been to, but it was also completely light-hearted and funny... endearing, charming, loving, glowing, boy do i sound like an idiot! it was in an old church, so it was like being in a small cathedral, the audience was all sitting on the floor, noone was talking on cels (or even amongst themselves), everyone was just sitting and enjoying and swaying along... it was fucking wonderful... the KINGS OF CONVENIENCE. they're from norway. their album, 'quiet is the new loud' is perfect. and i got to go backstage and meet them, and i also got to see & hang out with several old friends... i'll feel high from tonight for weeks to come..."
and i DO still feel high from it! sounds like you enjoyed it in an even deeper, more bittersweet way...
and i also like your prfile illustration!

songs on my mind:
aarktica, nostalgia=distortion
rivulets, creased
mum, we have a map of the piano
books i'm reading:
just finished lemony snicket's "the wide window" -- will probably read a few stories by andre dubus
last movie i saw:
lovely and amazing (emily mortimer is a revelation)
"words softly spoken / and dim the lamplight / flame unlit carries / away my late fright...
