closing time

i should've gone to the performance last night. oh, well.

i put paint to canvas, for a rough - frustratingly rough - attempt at a carved globe. this is going to take me a long time. and it's only part one... i'm not sure whether to feel sad that it's not all jumping out, or happy that it's a serious challenge. i'm leaning towards the latter :)

i was listening to huey lewis - stuck with you, which took me back to a better time (emotionally). a strange thought occurred... what if the fact that i don't listen to love songs at all has had an impact on my ability to feel all those sensations and emotions that i've associated with those songs? is it possible that when one begins each relationship or sexual encounter without the anticipation of experiencing them foremost in one's mind that they simply don't develop when they should?

ugh. i just discovered that i'm going to have to catch the shuttle in the morning :(

i finally wrote and sent an application to study for a master's degree. at only 28 years old :P
i'll have to take quite a few prerequisite courses, but quite frankly anything connected to english lit is a good start for me - definitely better than not studying anything!

i love this instructive flash-mob starter video, but found myself perturbed by one comment in particular: "i wonder what motivated him in the first place?... it's that sort of stupid i find unnecessary.

PA vs IDF in perspective
