The Ancient Common Sense of Things

Currently:
Listening to Return to the Sea by Islands
Studying for an Art History Midterm
and simultaneously dancing around the apartment in my underwear and ninja turtles t-shirt talking to Mr. Morris about "corbaling" and "black-figure" and Phidias.
drinking lots of coffee and eating a fried egg.
excited for friday night and camping tomorrow with John
in love with this motherfucking world!
downloading illegally songs that have the word, "willow", in them for a 'willow' themed mix
worried about my BFFF because she caught the H1N1
sweeping up cat litter and dust bunnies and beads and feathers (from the peacock costume this halloween)
still in my underwear
on a bra boycott
danced at Baba Budan's yesterday evening, just John and I on the dance floor in front of a lot of black guys. Thought it was dance night but turned out to be open mic, which is a freestyle free for all, we got up and danced all alone and let them judge us and didn't care and I twirled around and shook my hips in a little black dress. silly white couple.
can't stand school but can't live without it. keeps me going.
considering the Social Contract and what makes a 'good' ruler and if the masses are fit to pick that ruler
concerts coming up:
bishop allen NOV 17 and The Pixies with BFFF NOV 20
designing a 'self portrait' compiled with references to my favorite webcomics, japanese artists, cartoons, and children's book.
Things on my fridge spelled with old-school letter magnets:
non ascoltate
daijoupu desune
it is time
pensez en francais pour toujours
KILLING THESE FUCKING FLIES DAMNIT. fly guts on the walls.
so tired of baths. need to get that fucking shower head fixed.
jimmy. daniel. rebekah. mariam. brittany. jenn. new friends.
celebrating the election. levy for issue 7 passed! libraries still in tact!
WHY would we get rid of libraries? why is it when cuts need to be knowledge and arts are always first to go? people don't realize how important the arts are. Can you imagine a world without artists? No one to design your clothes, your furniture, your house, your books, your advertisement, your stores, your internet!
no music.
a free access to knowledge. a whole beautiful edifice filled wall to wall with shelves of thoughts and facts and information and poetry and illustrations to help you understand.
why would we ever want to get rid of that?
you know what is beautiful?
indian restaurants on every corner and the smell of curry to wake you up in the morning.
roads. roads just like rivers.
parks.
children in graeter's.
cat hair all over my bed. changing the sheets every few days because of it.
maps.
Lauren's record player and Bishop Allen turning on it.
Jake dressed as Max, King of the Wild Things.
Jack Nicholson acting like a crazy person.
the woodwork studio in DAAP.
a just mopped wooden floor reflecting the posters on the wall
torrents and the sharing of music
a postcard from Aunt Joan

THIS TOWN IS YOURS TO TAKE.

Do not fret moppet! I have gone a whole day without puking or having a fever. I think it is the Graeter's mommy brought me today.

Boris is walking around with a mask like "Ughhh, I better not get swine flu, I'm a fucking anteater. I got Jager to drink." He is incorrigible.

Pixies are on Conan tonight! WATCH THEM.

ilubyou.
