READING: today it has been people magazine. seriously, that's all i've got in me. that and i took a good half hour to read the transcript of carolyn hax's online chat on the washington post website. she does her regular column 3X per week (sunday, wednesday, and friday), and on fridays she does a live chat from noon until 2:30 or 3 (eastern time). i don't usually tune in for the "live" part of the chat, i just log in at 3 or so and read the transcript. i'm also still working on blue mars and alien chic, two books i posted about last week. i'm in the process of writing up my current thoughts about/analyses of 4 different texts from foucault, too: discipline and punish; the history of sexuality: an introduction; "questions of method," and "on governmentality," both from the foucault effect; and his lecture on biopower from society must be defended (which is one of the volumes in the college de france lectures series). i haven't been able to work on that today, though. my brain is fried.
WEARING: jeans. no shoes. new purple-y pedicure. beige-y long-sleeved v-neck shirt that has a muted, complex floral design printed onto it. it sounds somewhat tacky, but it's actually pretty cool.
PLANNING: going out for tapas with my sisters and my friend kelli tonight (kelli is one of my 6th grade friends; i went to the bodyworlds exhibit with another 6th grade friend named tim a couple of weeks ago--he lives in vancouver, WA; and i just got off the phone with my third 6th grade friend, roger, who lives in the detroit area). tomorrow morning i'm baking 2 birthday cakes: banana cake for my dad, and angel food cake for my sister barb. around noon or shortly after, my brother will arrive from detroit, and then my siblings and i will have a "family meeting" to discuss our parents' situation and what we should do in the coming weeks and months. tomorrow evening is the big dual birthday celebration, for my sister barb (her birthday was august 29th) and my dad (he turns 82 on september 19th). perhaps there will be movie-going tomorrow night, i'm not sure yet. sunday morning (early!) i fly back to seattle. there is talk of brunch with
glaucon and perhaps a couple of other friends, after i get back. i hope that happens.
