Tuesday, October 23

Aaaaugh! This week is going to be even more hellish than the one before break. Mostly not because of work, although that's nothing to be scoffed at either - two papers, short though they may be, plus a lot of Pynchon that I really want to go over carefully, even though I'm within striking distance of the end of the reading for the week. Okay, so that in itself won't be too bad, I'll just end up being up really late tomorrow night working on it. Then there's this concert Sunday, which will require a lot of rehearsal time, all night Thursday, all day Saturday, plus. I haven't even started the Brink article, and I want to write some more reviews if possible. Then lots of preparation for the Masquerade; I'm in charge of publicity and helping with construction of screens and pillars and so on. Hmm. There's other stuff too, I think, but that's the bulk of it. That doesn't seem tooo bad. I guess it will be okay.

I came home about an hour ago, carrying evidence of the previous five hours' activities: my clothes from African (class started out oddly, taking way too long on the hungway that people should have down by now, but then we got into triplets, which were cool, and more cerebral footwork that I can do pretty easily but a lot of people have trouble with, actually I could do it well enough to throw in some pelvis stuff too, which was fun); my present from Alison and Danielle (a severed hand; I stopped by the lodge to say hello after class, ended up talking to Al for a while. I feel like I don't have any time for my friends.); the history reading I printed out at the library and read part of in the Trotter atrium (pretty good stuff actually, about 1830s prostitutes and such); SAC proposals (people asked for so much money this week. There's big parties going on all the time - Halloween, Coming-Out, Alex Black's Euro-Trash thing, Consiglio's concert, not to mention and the formal, which we discussed for a long time, I just wrote up an info e-mail about that); and in my mouth the taste of a bizzare "world reknowned" cheesecake from Paces. I stopped by to see Elena in the kitchen, fishing a cappucino-maker part out of the garbage, she said "guess what I've been reading?"

This. Welcome, Elena, and Jessie who told her about it (how did you know?) Comment people! Thanks for reading, but you should let me know you're here. It's only courteous. Anyway, E said she felt camaraderie for my polyamory, which was nice to hear. Another person that I never seem to have enough time for.
