tangerine

I was not impressed. I threw out most of it. It tasted fake and gross.

At first taste, I got goosebumps. Scrunched my neck and arched my back. If you *ever* get a chance to eat these! I recommend.

townes movie

just found out there's a new documentary re Townes Van Zandt, a favorite musician. check out the post at this blog for more about the man and the movie. And click on title, above, for the movie's site, which has a trailer.

Seems it's showing in Nashville starting today, stopping on the 26th, in the Nashville Film Festival. Otherwise it may be bought. Might make a good graduation present for somebody.

POP CORPSE

for Stephanie

When I’m older I write only once a week. The rest of the time I heal and drink juice cocktails and read and talk to people. This method seems to work for me and over time I even start to fart poems. The Corcoran asks me to do an exhibit of poems associated with infrared photographs of farts. I spend days matching poems to the right farts, finishing in just enough time to drive to Florida and see my great-uncle, my separated cousin, and her two babies.

A boy can be your boyfriend without actually being your boyfriend. On the way you stop to wander through Glen Echo Park. The ancient cries of fun echo and re-echo. Years later I remember holding your hand. My memory is unreliable.

Favorable notice in another paper. On the fire escape the man asked me if I had hyperthyroid condition. Offended, I insisted my thyroid was normal.

I realize that I have been as repressed in my poetry as I have been foolish in real life. When my writing goes well I attribute it to God. When I kissed you in the car I blamed myself. We were in the church for hours discussing our favorite cathedrals. There is always something I have not bothered to remember.

You are my secret best friend. I am a gas station attendant. When someone gives me a tip it is like I have done something great. I feel great as I pump gas.

must mention that haven't got the format right for blogger- I mean, the poem looks different as posted at octopus magazine number 07.

PocketMod: The Free Disposable Personal Organizer

maybe the most useful thing I've ever found on internets (click title above for link)

"1. It fits easily in your back pocket or purse.
2. It's as cheap as one piece of paper (Because that's all it is!)
3. It opens like a book. Leading to easier to find, more organized notes.
4. The first page has a pouch, big enough to carry a business card!
5. Customizable with 'Mods' tailored to your needs.
6. It's free and fun!"

first day of classes today. odd, odd, odd. it still, now, with five out of six semesters finished, seems strange to me that I am in law school. but today wasn't bad. just odd. added oddness that I was there at nine in the morning, which I haven't been, not since spring of last year.

Anyway at nine was "conflict of laws," which is a whole (small) class about how you pick what law applies, and which is taught by an outgoing dean (he wants to teach more.) He's very enthusiastic and made eye contact with all students including me many times. He even made me talk, which it's my policy not to do in class, but it was like he forced me to talk.

Then at about eleven was "civil rights actions," a larger class taught by the guy that taught me criminal procedure 1, which is the most useful class I ever did take in law school so far. This professor's all about the thing he says is called "legal realism," which it seems means that if you're realistic, you see that law is all about politics. So, he says we'll spend a lot of time looking at who's on the supreme court (I'll start writing it as "scotus" soon, I promise) for each case, since the ideo-logy of each justice is The Thing.

today rode to get groceries via greenway to bi-lo on kingston. was a good ride. had to scoot running law professors outtamyway. also rode to market square tonight. returning home, brought bike in elevator. fellow elevatorer said was like I heart huckabees', which is a movie I remember reading of, um, but the elevatorer said, in that movie there was a guy wearing a suit riding a bike, and the suit was just like mine. so now a dam sure can't watch that movie. good thing I didn't want to nohow no not a whole lot.

The second ride was after I had to leave my apartment. The fire alarm went off, and when it goes off, you just can not be here. Loud noises, a mixture of a high-pitch, a siren, strobe lights. Six fire engines showed up for five minutes and then left. Then the evacuated crowd could get in line for the elevator to get back to dinner-time.

Ultimate Frisbee Strategy/Coaching

Ultimate Frisbee Strategy/Coaching: "A progression of reads is simply setting the order in which a player should look at a particular cut. For instance, in the Evil Plan Offense, upon receiving the disc a player should (1) look to hit the deep cutter, if that’s not there (2)look to hit the underneath continuation, if that’s not there (3) look to hit the break, if that’s not there (4) dump the frisbee."

Grades for fall 2005

Grades got published today. I'd been waiting to worry until I checked them, so, I was (good grief) shaking as I clicked the link for each class and scrolled through to find the grade given next to my anonymous number.

I passed everything. I am so happy.

Ended up doing about as well as I've done all along, if even closer to my average (nothing too close to failing). Good news.

the power and the glory/graham greene

"He couldn't see her in the darkness, but there were plenty of faces he could remember from the old days which fitted the voice. When you visualized a man or woman carefully, you could always begin to feel pity- that was a quality God's image carried with it. When you saw the lines at the corners of the eyes, the shape of the mouth, how the hair grew, it was impossible to hate. Hate was just a failure of imagination."

finished the book today.

Visual Arts in Atlanta : Road Trip!!

"For the new year, make the quick 200 mile trip to the Knoxville Museum of Art where work by new media artist Jim Campbell will be on display. We can all stay at my sister's house! Campbell uses new technology to transmit imagery with its basis in photography and video. Exciting and accessible, this show will likely prove to be a great introduction to new methods of image making and will challenge viewers notions of representation. I had dinner with KMA executive director Todd Smith last month who has some exiting plans for this ambitious museum."

Boston Legal

so, I stopped studying to watch boston legal. never seen a big show tell such stories about legal defense- much less, go on at length about the evils of the credit card bizness, and all of it done with humor. good stuff.

exams.

On the Road manuscript on tour

Jack Kerouac typed On the Road on one 120-foot-long sheet of paper, which is now at the University of North Carolina/Chapel Hill. It leaves for California on December 17. I was a great big fan of the book when I was in high school.

An Object

This thing, that hath a code and not a core,
Hath set acquaintance where might be affections,
And nothing now
Disturbeth his reflections.
