I have had an excellent day -- as is the course for most days and all Tuesdays.
Production meeting for ENRON earlier went well. A lot of talking happened. A lot of me sitting with my arms crossed happened. For about one minute (of the 120) I talked about what I had done and would continue to do as I compose techno-bluegrass moonshined romps. It was great. I love to be around people who have ideas and creativity and who seem very important; I imagine them all to be anyway, even if they aren't.
Liz made popcorn -- vegan chili cheese popcorn victory -- and I devoured it as we soaked in some of the last episodes of Battlestar Galactica Season 3. I won't say anything, because if someone reads this some day and hasn't gotten to the end of Season 3, I would be equal in shittiness to Baltar (and that's not a spoiler.)
Now it's 11:41. I am not tired, but have filled my day with all the beautiful things I wanted. Walking, chocolate, songwriting, techno-music mosaic puzzling, Battlenerd Addictica, yogurt-infused rice, more walking, writing silly stories, stalking cat, being stalked by cat, admiring cat's spontaneous gymnastic spasms, and being with Liz. I even applied for a real job at American University. Let's have a prayer to encourage that job:
I am poor
You're less so
Jake gets job
or
Gore will flow
Not ex-VP
Not Vidal
Slice one, two,
three,
Guts will fall
I know where
You all live
It's right there
on
The website you give
You will beg
Kittens weep
Your head's an egg
I'll
crush in your sleep.
I really think that's the right vibe. Yeah, I'm gonna get that job.

neat blog. I hope you get the job (if you want it)! Did you ever see the movie Harold & Maude? Your poem reminded me of the Seppuku scene. Here is a still: http://i103.photobucket.com/albums/m124/christineobx/harlodandmaudest.jpg
Money makes you numb anyway.
Haha you're right. Money fries nerve endings. The job would be a convenient way to interact with international students and their families, understand other cultures better, and dig into my mountainous student loans.
Not getting the job means I can keep focusing on music, the most un-numbing art.
Your music is pretty awesome & deserves the attention...but I guess, so do international students. Either way you'll be doing good work...combating the dominant culture and such. Best of luck!
how come i can't subscribe to your blog? I wanna xoxoxo Mum
