"This process of foreclosing occurs all the time between activists in various ways, where we tell one another that whatever effort we’re making is predetermined to mean something else, often failing to realize that our rigid viewpoint serves to squelch the reshaping and rewriting of meanings that we’re purportedly fighting for. So a part of this fashioning we’re doing needs to be about diversifying the set of aesthetic practices we’re open to seeing, and promoting a possibility of us all looking very very different from one another while we fight together for a new world. I want to be disturbed by what you’re wearing, I want to be shocked and undone and delighted by what you’re doing and how you’re living. And I don’t want anyone to be afraid to put on their look, their body, their clothes anymore. Resistance is what is sexy, its what looks good and is hard to look at and what sometimes requires explanation. Why would we want to do things that don’t require explanation, that are obvious, impervious to critique because no one even notices we’re doing them?"

TRICKY TOUCHED ME. ADRIAN THAWES. HE REACHED INTO THE CROWD AND GRABBED MY HAND. HE SANG CHRISTIAN SANDS, POEMS & LOVECATS. HE ALSO SWEATED ON ME AND FELL INTO MYSTICAL MUSICAL TRANCE RIGHT UP IN FRONT OF ME. I WAS IN THE VERY FRONT/CENTER ROW UP AGAINST THE STAGE AND COULD HAVE REACHED UP AND TOUCHED HIM AT ANY POINT. HIS SHIRTLESS, GLISTENING BODY & WAIST WERE RIGHT IN FRONT OF MY FACE. IT WAS THE MOST INTIMATE AND BEAUTIFUL CONCERT EXPERIENCE I'VE EVER HAD. (AND I'VE BEEN TO A FREAKISH AMOUNT OF LIVE MUSIC SHOWS)
AND I THINK THAT MY DREADS ARE LONG ENOUGH TO THE POINT THAT I GET STREET CRED NOW.
current mood: touched

Responses from my course evaluations:
Please comment on the lab or discussion leader's strengths and areas for possible improvement.:
The discussion leader did a real good job at getting me to communicate with others what I knew and to challenge myself more to take a deeper look into what we are supposed be learning. Did a real good job at explaining what the professor expected of us and clearing up any problems we had with the films/reading.
What did you learn in this class?:
To open up and I know a lot more than I give myself credit. If I work hard at home then being in the class room is so much easier and I learn a lot more with less stress.
What did you find intellectually stimulating about this class?:
That German films and films in general have so much to tell the audience then just what one sees on the screen.
Please comment on the strengths and areas of possible improvement for the lab or discussion as a whole.:
Brought us all together to learn from one another. Really rounded out what we learned in the class, was the cherry on top of the desert in my book.

i know this highway
it is haunted
lavender electrical storms stalk it
silver flashes
endless traffic jams
those who speed down its lanes
who swerve and tear through space
slipping in and out of time
barely notice
a banner over its single overpass
they cannot see
the fine hues of its stitching
they cannot know
the scrawled graffitti
of a soaring heart
left to weather
and be ruined by elements
this highway is under a spell
those who drive it finally never survive
it ends abruptly, blindly
cut off by a cliff
the emptiness of its void
is so great
that drivers endure
a traumatic magnetic pull downwards
the violent winds of the abyss
steadily float them down to doom.
on the edge of the cliff flaps a shredded silken flag
reading:
fools, this was the highway of gorgeous lies

no time to fuck
but you like the rush
and where would we be
without sums
deals we make
brown paper bag
makes for a hat
when it rains
on your head mate
cheers for that
when the world
stops for snow
when you laugh
i'm inside
your mouth
sucking the sun
baboons and birds
with the weight
of you dear
i forgot
brown paper bag
makes for a hat
when it rains on
your head mate
cheers for that
when the world
stops for snow
when you laugh
I'm inside
your mouth
oh just go dear
feels a tear
and you scream dear
fear also tamed
when you laugh I'm inside
your mouth

And I long to go
Love started here
Shoot your star
Be a light
Is that
Don't you call
Deer stop bottle in a shell
Shoot a thousand stars over me
Love to come home
You've arrested a knight
Say my name
Whisper it, don't ever turn
I'm deliciously wired
I'm falling in a cloud
Deer stop bottle in a shell
Shoot a thousand stars over
Say my name
Whisper it

so last night, carolyn and I suited up in our bikinis and went down to the pool and hot tub for the first time for a relaxing swim. We ate some vics and smoked a couple of bubblers beforehand to make things a little more interesting.
We also have a giant bottle of pinot grigio chilling in the fridge, but we are saving that for when the ladies come over this weekend. hehe. dionysian antics.
So we are feeling the pills and then just jump into the water and are drifting around the crystal clear blue pool, which is dark all around but brilliantly lit from underwater, so it looks like its glowing. and there is this shadowy, whispering forest all around us, and it is just so outrageous and phantasmagorical.
and then these sweet bats kept swooping overhead by the swaying treetops. and we are just drifting and swimming and whooping and doing cannon balls and jackknifes into the deep end and then the pills kick in and we are floating in a liquid opiate dream cloud, laughing and smiling like lunatics, underneath the stars, splashed with moonlight.
then when we get too lazy and are really feeling the pills hard, we go up to the hot tub and let the jets massage and the steam relax and are just lazing and experiencing our senses to the utmost.
and we are just like comatose in the hot tub for like an hour and completely disconnected and out of our skulls when we hear this rustling in the bushes and carolyn of course freaks out like a nancy, and i was outta my wits so i was a bit freaked too, and she Swears that she saw a dog and i'm like no dude it was probably just a racoon or a squirrel (which now looking back it def was) but she claims it had "long legs like a dog" lol but since we were outta our skulls and hallucinating we thought it best to just bounce anyway since it was almost midnight.
hahah, but soooo hilarious. and the pool and hot tub are so fucking sweet as HELL.
also,
haven't yet finalized anything in the way of showtime, etc., but the website for the new radio show is
http://kwva.uoregon.edu/
and I have cooked up a fantastic new name for the new show, TBA.
I just got some fucking SICK new records too. like, sickest shit i've ever even HEARD produced. (out of canada)
and new fliers to be posted soon (inigo? :} ) ( i still gotta send you your present, I didnt forget)
I am also revamping my entire website, and my webmaster, peachblossom, is whipping me up an entirely new layout, and i gotta get cracking on the content, as I will actually be regularly putting out an arts and lit magazine from the site
which also reminds me that I need to get some new business cards printed.
and a new pair of Technics is on the tippy top of my birthday wish list, so hopefully madre and step-padre or numero uno padre will hook that up since i've been such a good, self sufficient hook this year. a girl can dream.
current mood:  bouncy

11:15 pm - update :)
|
so we got the sweetest possible apartment situation that we could have ever even fathomed
one that exceeded all expectations
this is truly a ridiculous dream home.
get this
2 bedroom/2 bath
split level (upstairs and downstairs) condo in the middle of a ancient blue pine forest on the side of a mountain. It is in a complex called the HIGH LANDS LOL
It is located in the South Hills, the most desirable and elite part of the city. A little bit outside of the noisy downtown area, but close enough where you can walk or bike right to the center of the city and university. directly on all of the bus lines going everywhere too.
It has huge, vaulted, cathedral ceilings,
a fucking wood burning fireplace
a washer and dryer in the unit
2 private decks (one in the back with giant looming moss clung wind swaying evergreens filtering the sunshine from above, and one off of the downstairs that is covered from the rain and shaded from the sun)
TONS of closet space
dishwasher
new fridge and microwave
deeded, covered parking space + unlimited guest parking
plus,
beautiful crystal clear pool and hot tub at huge rec center/lodge that you can reserve to have private parties in !!!!!!!!!!!!!
SO doing that…
And the lodge has a GIGANTIC huge screen tv, couches ,a kitchen and Bar, ping pong tables, dart boards and is fucking huge with like 4 different decks overlooking the forests with breathtaking views of the sky and stars.
Fuckin surrealist art parties in the woods hell fuckin yea.
FOR FUCKNG 825 A MONTH, ALL UTILITIES INCLUDED (INCLUDING CABLE)
SPLIT BETWEEN ME AND CAROLYN
I pay slightly more because I have the bigger bedroom- BUT STILL
UNREAL
My lungs have never been so thankful. I can inhale deep breaths of the coolest, cleanest, crispest, mountain air. In the city I would wake up congested every morning, that hasn’t happened once since moving here.
Also, since we live on the side of a mountain, the owner of the condo told us that there is a secret trail at the highest located parking lot, which connects to one of the main hiking trails up the side of the mountain, and goes for one mile in one direction and 3 miles in another. It is amazing and nestled deep within the forest. And takes you through trails to the scenic peak of the mountain.
The previous tenant/owner of the condo is this young hippie dude and his hippie chick English major fiancee. He still owns it and was so glad to have 2 art chicks living at his place. He just graduated from the UofO Law School, is an environmental lawyer that just got a govt. job in DC, and he told us that we are going to love it there, and that he was happy that we are going to take care of his place. They had a bunch of beautiful flowers and potted plants that they left to us as well as these totally hysterical hippie wind chimes.
The place is seriously so goddamned illin.
We have been calling it “Rivendell” the elven paradise, and seizing each other and shrieking because it is seriously fucking unreal.
AND, There is an open invitation to everyone on my friends list to come visit.
And I can say with complete confidence that you would be fucking stupid not to. We even have comfortable pullout couch in front of the fireplace and 2 air mattresses.
And my insane (but completely wonderful overbearing sicilian father INSISTED (I objected but there was no reasoning) on buying a fucking gigantic 700$ HD flat screen TV for the place as a house warming gift. Can someone say Shaneword marathons in huge screen HD? HHHAHAHHAHA
Anyway,
On our way driving into Oregon, we drove through and stopped at this spectacular volcanic forest in the middle of a mountain range. At one point, you could look all around you and see a vast expanse of igneous rock and boulders left over from a massive volcanic eruption. The park service also built a castle out of the volcanic rock, and we were the only ones there and we went inside it and it was built so that you could see constellations and the peaks of the surrounding mountains through labeled holes in the castle walls. Like, look out of this square in the wall and there is the tip of mount Chippewa, and out that square is the 3 sisters constellation.
Our first friend in town was the manager of the main downtown head shop, a hot chick with pink hair and piercings and tattoos. Her and her pink mullet toting hair stylist friend ‘tanya’ were alllllllllll up in our junk, and begging us to come to the queer art dance party night at the biggest local bar- but we were way exhausted from the move and whatnot, and elected to take a rain-check, a move which seemed to make them all the more eager. We even had dinner with her, and Carolyn bought her perfect moonstone gem ring from the bitches shop. Needless to say , they have been texting nonstop asking us to come party and we have just been like LOL WHOA YO
I am basically just waiting for the end of my dads visit to invite them both over to come drink wine and smoke J’s and swim in the pool and hot tub B)
Did I mention that an 8th of bomb ass headies is only 30$ out here??? Well, it is.
And the glass is at LEAST half of what it is back east.
We went partying in Portland this past weekend to a sick dub night @ this ridiculous bass cave of an underground black lit art club. It was in the industrial district so no one bitches about the music being too loud. It is across the street from the tazo tea headquarters, so it smells like tea and jasmine and exotic flowers all around. They import outside sound systems. Monkeytek was fantastic, as expected, and ryan organ, beautiful boy that he is, also spun a wonderful set that I drunkenly swayed and got down to. BEERS ARE $2.50 HERE. This is such a remarkable change from the 8-12 dollars FOR A FUCKING CORONA One will be horrifically overcharged for in a boston or nyc or LA bar.
Anyone with a mind who smokes weed or enjoys dub or electronic music SERIOUSLY needs to check out these guys @ pdxindub.com
Such fucking amazing sound.
Then we chilled with Milo <3 ever the wonderful portlandia native gent’, who hooked us UPPP.
I could barely even dance on the dance floor because people kept grabbing at me and trying to shove over to dance with me and I was just like Ughhh, and would move far away and just dance with Carolyn. We protect each other. And then this one thin blonde chick just like hooked her arm around my waist and started grabbing at me and pulling me into her!!! Even Carolyn was like what the fuck! I don’t know why, but the blonde ones always seem to go for me. So I just smiled and went along with it cause she was pretty even though I hate it when people I don’t know touch me or my hair, but I guess if you are going to do that it does help if you’re a hot girl.
So then I finally detach and get another beer and smoke another cigarette, and then take a piss, write some graffiti on the bathroom wall ( another thing I LOVE about the West coast is that practically all bathroom stalls are covered in beautiful graffiti), and start dancing again and this girl is just looking at me with this lustful glare and grinning and she is wearing a skirt then she comes up from behind me and grabs me again!!!! So I am like OK, and start acting kind of playful and im like feeling on her and she is griding on me and it was just absurrrdddd. But hilarious and fun.
Then after that this dude who reminded me of kameel grabbed me and said ‘I love you’ and I just laughed at him and walked away and then he came up to me later and apologized and I told him it was ok, and then him and his friend asked us if we wanted to smoke outside, and even though we were already lit out of our skulls on our own headies we obviously agreed, and him and his friend smoked us out. The one kameel dude is named Avi Stein, and is a jew and an entertainment lawyer ex film student who seriously looked like a hipster but is actually a lawyer. Then his friend is a skater from Connecticut who was like “congratulations on your westward enlightenment” when he heard we were from long island, and says that he hates going back east to even visit his family he despises it so much.
I have a teaching seminar this week to prepare me to teach german cinema to 25 undergrads hahaha. Should be hysterical.
Until then I have been practicing the fine arts of intoxication and obliteration, and a bombardment of the senses, or, as Rimbaud would say, a derangement of the senses.
And as I fucking wrote this, the pink haired chick texted Carolyn asking if we wanted to go bowling before going out to the bar on thursay with her and her roommates. Hell yes. They are probably going ape shit and cant wait to incorporate us into their circle.
Eugene is exactly like Santa Cruz- it's like the Santa Cruz of Oregon, complete with the diablo peaks and dinosaur roaming history. (<3sinclair)
I also just submitted the final draft of a piece of experimental fiction that got chosen to be published in an actual novel which will be an anthology of experimental writing pieces. More info on that and where to purchase, etc, when I get my papers for it.
In the mean time, I summon all ye (particularly long island male virgos), to take cultural retreat and intellectual respite at this celestial chateau of ours, for you are welcome.
current mood:  drunk
