ah, i moved my blog presence here with the intention of being a bit better at regular posting. so much to do. *sigh* i really could use an assistant....preferably one who is compliant, eager-to-please, has appealing belly fuzzification, and knows his away around spreadsheet software and Origin graphical software. i can't pay anything but i can make biscuits and three kinds of gravy every morning...for the right guy.
M. and i went to the movies this weekend. it was quite a long time since i'd gone to the movies. usually, i find a way to get out of it. a lot of the time, the crowd's behavior is an unappealing prospect. Orhan Pamuk has held that film and television are where folks learn how to act and i guess the influence of reality-television is now evident when too many folks believe that they are remarkably interesting when, truthfully, they aren't at all. her moving closer to home is still a vague plan. the moral monsters are now held as the things we should aspire to be. *sigh* it doesn't explain the complete and utter lack of moral imagination displayed by those who are aspiring to be our leaders. they are from a generation or two before "reality" television.
we also managed to get by A so she could get her stationery fix. i had to help myself to some, as well. later, as we poured over our loot i realized that the paper i'd purchased had a subtle sparkle. i remember when Remy was very small and i let him pick out a card to send to his playschool teacher i asked him why he chose the particular one he insisted was the best and he declared, "IT SPARKLES!!!!!" heh. to this day, i will find something sparkly and have to say, "IT SPARKLES!!" i really admired how he felt that it was so obvious! i must be old, he'll be a college sophomore this Fall. despite his mom and dad being completely hopeless shits, i think he's going to be okay.
M. and i also knocked over a bookstore. we both have moritoria on book buying but....y'know.....it really couldn't be helped. i'm half-way through Sarah Schulman's new book:
i think i can safely say it's a good book where one momen't you're saying to yourself, "THAT's EXACTLY WHAT I MEAN!!" and the next being awfully vexed and wanting to slap someone and wondering aloud if the author is a loon.
February 24 was the birthday of Dr. Judith Butler. she's another one who is as much illuminating as she is vexing (and often a right pain in the ass to fight through her prose; still, she's worth the fight) i'd love to lock her and Martha Nussbaum into a small room just to see what happens. i hope she enjoyed the birthday card and amazon.com giftcard from The Stranger Queers of Southern Missi-'bama. February also was a birthday month for some of the folks featured on my Motley of Worthy Folk list (linky-lurv at the right of the page). Best birthday wishes to blog-goddesses Ms. Jill of Stella's Roar and Shark-fu of Angry Black Bitch.
well, i've letters to get written. today was a good mail day.
