we need a new humidifier. this is the one we have now:
it lasted about a year, & recently it stopped working correctly.
i miss it! especially now that the heat is on, i feel
really parched when i wake up in the morning, since
the humidifier isn't pumping out mist like it should.
do you have one? maybe we should get a less kitschy one this time ;) |

so.
winter quarter i'm taking a class on modernity (lit) and
a class in digital media studies on sound production.
i am also scheduled to be a ta for laird, and that
class conflicts with my literature class, so it is possible
i wouldn't have ta thing at all, i guess. i don't know what
to do. i was excited about the modernity class
but also about ta-ing for laird; my only other option
is to take this antebellum lit class. what do you think?
i feel like i ought to take the class i wanted but
then i miss out on ta-ing for laird, who is awesome, and
maybe i won't be reassigned and then i won't be ta-ing at all & i won't be
able to put ta-ing on my teaching portfolio... i'm not
sure how important that is, tho, since i will
be teaching. blehh screwed
i give up; i'll just go live in the mountains and eat lichen.
( option 1 or 2 ) |

i checked my grades for the first time ever;
i never had grades before! no not in undergrad and not
at brown! i have all As. ahahahahaaaaa.
getting grades is really strange. at this point
i don't understand why grades matter.
for one class, the writing center
pedagogy class we all had to take last fall, i wasn't
sure, cause some people had been docked points
for piddling stupid things; we had to write a dumb
paper for the witch professor, and i just took mine and
ripped it into tiny pieces and threw it in the trashcan at the
bus stop when i got it back, so i didn't know really, but i got an A
in that too; whatever. now no one even has to work
in the writing center unless they want to, which is much more
humane, cause that was a terrible thing about last year.
this year is much better. i have lots of time to watch tv
and make apple cider and write about watching tv. |

my brother is working on this movie; he is a td at dreamworks.
he worked on this trailer, too; he said it was more of a pain
than the rest of the movie, but i don't really know what that means.
something about shot data. |

i found all of the 90's revival episodes
of dark shadows online.
i'm fairly excited. i watched a little of it last night.
my presentation paper is nearly done, i have some gaps to fill in & then i need
to take screen captures of the path and smooth everything over.
i have been keeping track of all the quotes i gather from readings
here. i don't know
how to get rid of that little broken image
but i'll mess with that later. the cats are yawning. |

INITIATION, the first issue of PRAYERS FOR CHILDREN (a new online journal/gallery curated by Keith Aguiar, Jody Jock, Greg Kaplowitz and Gina Abelkop) is now up for your viewing pleasure! With work by Zee Boudreaux, Roxanne Carter, Juliet Cook, Brian Dini, Mark Oliver Farley, David King, Finley Kipp, Scooter Laforge, Ashley Lande, Matt Lifson, Zachari Logan, Leslie Lowe, Daniel McKernan, Rhani Remedes, Heather Renee Russ, Brenden Shucart, Mica Sigourney, Max Steele, Chad Stose, and Jack X Taylor.
Also on the website is the submission call for the next issue. Get to it!
*
& also, available for preorder, Caketrain issue 07
J.A. Tyler’s teeth still unmarked white, Carol Novack’s pretty pink mouth and porky pink tongue, Sarah Norek’s hair slipping from her skull, a welt carved into Roxanne Carter’s thigh, Alec Niedenthal’s ghostly neck and chin, Matthew Curry’s inside-out torso: the seventh presents a bony, bodily form, a disembodied head above its siblings, and we are powerless to thwart its fleshly will. There are other things, survivors: Darby Larson brings ducks and story-doings, Margaret Frozena and St. Teresa of Ávila begin a duel that gives way to a duet, Matthew Derby wields this rake-like thing—but these bodies, strewn all over the issue, often dismembered, dislocated but ever-ambulant—hover still, cloud a land denuded, peopled. |

i need to get going. write, write.
i have a presentation on wednesday, which will become an
abstract to apply for a conference braxton & i will write a paper for.
i have been dithering, doing nothing, tho
i made ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) cinnayum's struesel coffee cake
& it turned out delicious! successful baking. i'm not good
at it, usually. i'm good at making soup, and tacos. tea.
there is a fox living in the gutter outside our house.
something we see it slipping in & out.
we have to get skype cause braxton has his first job interview
via it. and a webcam of some sort.
i had to buy some books cause the library and no library around here
had angela carter's the bloody chamber. so i also got:
Eunoia
Christian Bök
The Artificial Silk Girl
Irmgard Keun
Madeleine Is Sleeping
Sarah Shun-lien Bynum |

i spent the afternoon working on my comps lists (168 books! too many),
although to do so at this point is not necessary and i should be working
on a seminar paper/presentation. i thought for awhile about getting an
ebook reader but then the library is free. so. i went out and
had a molasses sundae. |

maybe i will take the train (california zephyr) back from los angeles in december. 40 hours! we did it before,
from la to seattle, but this time i'd be by myself, unless braxton
decides to come to ca instead of going to minnesota. the train
might be fun, tho, & pretty, & is only $50 more than a plane ticket. |
