My Blog

White seahorse of your memory.

moonbug's comment on my June 30 entry (thank you for the sentiment!) made me realize how very long it's been since I've posted. I'm hours from returning to Greensboro and a couple days from beginning...

The newspapers said she's gone to his head.

I should listen to more Jesus & Mary Chain. And Sonic Youth. And anything else that's dreary and scary enough to make the idea of being "mature" sound less dreary, cold, and heartless. Any sugg...

Mr. America, walk on by your schools do that do not teach.

One of my friends on here posted this bulletin: Ronald Reagan - divorced the mother of two of his children to marry Nancy Reagan, who bore him a daughter only 7 months after the marriage. Bob Dole -...

A question in your nerves is lit, yet you know there is no answer fit.

I read Names Will Never Hurt Me by Jaime Adoff yesterday and found it to be quite a good read. Adoff focuses on four characters in the same high school and does a pretty good job at trying to look bey...

I don't know what the world may want, and I don't know what the world may need.

I seem to be making a habit of waking up very early and being unable to fall asleep. This morning it feels nice in a weird way, like maybe I'm getting back to not being that slug who has to sleep in t...

Anything that's anything becomes nothing that's everything.

A few days ago Mozilla Firefox became convinced that my default profile is now permanently "in use", so I can never again access my bookmarks from that profile. What the fuck? Since when does my compu...

Our vulnerability is all our insensitivity.

I'm tired of a world that invites us all to be separate and values little self-dependent separate people more than emotion and caring. At the same time, I'm in love with the world and believe in it d...

Morning's at my window.

I watched Mona Lisa Smile on TV last night and found it to be a wonderful movie. It's set in 1953, and it's about a woman, Katherine Watson, who becomes an art history professor at Wellesley and hopes...
