still in india...

just noticed a tanline on my ring finger from my mizrab... we perfected hedonism last weekend in goa. chambas, team. kiti sunduray. arabian sea, you are boyant. sticky black friends, thank you for four perpetual days.

everything has become esoteric.
and i've become quieter.

regarding a timeframe in weeks: i'll have nothing to say to the masses in two regarding my entire twenty-one. i've been contemplating my responses to interrogation for about eighteen, and in the past six or seven i've decided it will take another fifty or sixty to formulate the respectable blanket statement my answer demands... given the previous discussion on esoterics.

aron put it best in an e-mail a couple of weeks ago when he said: 

"I thought, for a while, that I wouldn’t really be interested in your stories (cold cold cold). Not because they wouldn’t be interesting or filled with something important or, at the very least, memorable, but because these stories would be at least once-removed and retold months after their occurrence. And how can I connect with that? How could I even begin to understand how it felt or looked like or smelled or was, really, without experiencing the moment in context? I couldn’t and I won’t, when you tell them to me. It’s like telling someone the dream you had last night, and it might as well be a dream to me. And, after all, trying to convert experience into words, especially orally, seems so ineffective and incomplete and I don’t want the experience distilled for me. But I’m just now realizing that despite my inability to fully understand what it is you’re going through, I need to hear about where you’ve been and what you’ve seen and done and heard and felt and become. To understand real human experience, or something. It doesn’t all really make much sense to me. I’m still piecing it all together.

I'm still piecing it all together..."



I'm just dreaming about that sweater...

So, I found this great sweater at Tatters on Saturday, but wont be wearing it until December. Weather-appropriate as that sentiment may seem, I'd be wearing the sweater every day, but am restraining myself for the sake of practicality in the packing process. See you when it's cold-time, sweater. See you when it's cold-time...



That said, depending on what level of internet whore you are, you've likely already seen this posted either to my Facebook or Myspace, and it explains the packing/sweater practicality thing/whateverthefuckelse. And for others of you who are still part-human, here it is again:

I'll be abroad in Pune, India from July 11th - December 9th, 2007. Let me know if you would like to recieve e-mails roughly once a week about the trip, and I'l gladly add you to the mailing list. Here's my address, mail should take roughly two weeks to travel to and from India):

a lost camera: the plague of all party people.

if you find one in the pocket of a black velvet suit coat, please return both items to me at your discretion.

Latest Discovery: Hollywood Autopsy indeed has a website.
       (Lu's most infamous Art Professors' neo-Punk Rock band from the '80s)


Perhaps I'm the last to know...


Additionally, there's a facebook group supporting them 24 years after their break-up

To Lawrentian readers: This offers a glimpse into Julie and Johnny "Pukeface's" angsty adolescent past... (i.e. our wildest dreams).

(Indie Glamour in all it's glory... for the 80's)



Immediately upon my discovering this, Luke messages me, and I quickly inform him of the site, as he and I participate in an underground and entirely justifiable idolization (or perhaps it's an ideation) of these two figureheads in Lawrence society.
Our mutual insights were as follows: (under the cut) )


Update: This entry retrospectively sucks. It glorifies assumptions, schemas, stereotypes, and false assumptions, and capitalizes on them. [5.11.2008]



Pop-Culture Updates:

This week on Jeopardy!
My 7th Grade Science Teacher (and FPS Coach)



Susan Herder
St. Paul, MN

Play her 'Hometown Howdy' Video
(it's about 8 seconds long)





Additional thoughts:

I ate an olive today and liked it. Now I'm all grown up.

Nicki is playing Diner Dash on her phone, waiting for me to finish updating so we can watch the season finale of Rome. She just shouted, "Oh my god! Now we have tables that can seat six!"

Also: in case you're like me, and shamelessly glaze over subject heads, I would like to reiterate that so much HTML went into posting this, I should get an award.

if lambda sigma wasn't already the douchiest organization lawrence university had to offer, we're starting a new fundraiser next week that will top the history charts as such:

for 50¢ at downer, you can buy a live facebook poke, and members of λσ will hunt down your friend to poke (or punch) them for you.

that's right, ladies and germs... it's poking wars!

thus, i've been designing a soon-to-be-massly-spread poking hand...




sideproject: kristin's tally of people who have claimed they are going to denounce facebook, but haven't. myself being one of them, the current tally is one.

no, i will not lj-cut this.





just updated the shit out of my myspace. took a lot out of me, yah-no?


clickity clickity! on the banner for a legitimate waste of time.


found my new best friends at unique thrift on tuesday:



noteable julie and/or johnny quote (i think it was johnny, but he/she didn't sign his/her name): "The shaved-head Brittany painting with speeded up Violent Femmes is pretty hilarious. Is this what video art is coming to? Pop culture satire?"
the quote is in response to: knock offs of this speed painting of Lost's (a.k.a. my longest-avoided and now happily succumbed-to addiction) John Locke.

find the humor in the "videos like this" section.


i strongly support subversive youtube parodies of youtube videos. am i just a product of digital processes? the class, or the art?
e.g.: dove evolution parodies. (slob evolution, for example, highly recommended)
