arguchik1. I am currently sporting a pimple smack in the middle of my forehead. I am 42 years old. Does this strike you as an odd thing, or is it just me? When I was 15 I would have been mortified by this pimple, but now I am merely bemused. I take this to mean that I'm a stronger person than I was at 15. Or perhaps that I don't take myself quite so seriously anymore.
2. I went to see Antony and the Johnsons (edited to remove the apostrophe I should know better than to include) last night at the Moore, with my boyfriend and several other friends. I appreciate a concert in a venue where I can sit down. I enjoyed the show overall--the music was delightfully complex and well played by very talented musicians, but the lyrics of some of the songs kinda got on my nerves. I think my favorite part was when they covered a Bob Dylan song.
3. My recently acquired, dentist-crafted mouth guard is starting to have a positive effect on my jaw and on the quality of my sleep. Interestingly, it is also alleviating tension and bone-crackiness in my neck.
4. I went out for dinner both Friday and Saturday night this past weekend, and both times I concluded the meal with a double espresso. Friday night's espresso was better. It was also the first coffee-containing beverage I have consumed since November. However, it is 9am and I don't want coffee, I want a nice cup of tea.
5. I think I'm going to re-read Volatile Bodies as soon as I finish re-reading Gender Trouble. Somewhere in there I need to read a bunch of other feminist writings on the body, too. I'm having a somewhat schizoid response to the task: I'm interested in it, but I'm having trouble motivating myself to actually do it. This worries me.

Date: 2009-03-01 07:01 pm (UTC)I would have a hard time motivating myself to read those books. I would want to know the information in them, but getting to it sounds like such a slog. Right now I have copies of a book on Anne Bogart's Viewpoints, a book on mask and form in theatre, and Aruatd's The Theatre and its Double that I know I should read, but they're so boring I can barely process them. They're all kind of like The Battle for the Soul of Capitalism by John Bogle; great information to know, but the writing style is so dry you can't get through more than a page at a time. I recommend you read The Orton Diaries instead.
Cause, you know, guys fucking in alleys.
