Lay Lady Lay
Today, I feel poetic more than I feel like someone who journals, but maybe it’s not a bad day to do a little journalling. I went by the history department today to get the website on Anne’s computer. I spent about two hours talking to Bearman and some to Prasch. I mentioned that I had a website or had been keeping one for four years and Prasch asked to see it so I showed it to him. Then, as they were looking, I realized how open-book I keep my life. I mean, my life is an open book whether I write it on the internet or not because I’ll tell anyone my life story.
My life story today is boring. I watched Kinsey at midnight with Mle and Joe. I slept through too much of it and want to see it again. I think I liked it a lot. And I don’t really care if it glorifies Kinsey because whether or not his studies were accurate or whatever, he’s pretty important to me because he helped me feel legitimate in my feelings and sometimes I needed that. I also think Laura Linney is very pretty and especially in that movie. I like the way her voice sounds. I’d like to hear her in a debate round, sometime. I bet I’d GDS like whoa.
I slept through my 9 am class and my tutoring hour. Oops. But I woke up in such a wonderfully refreshed mood that I didn’t even care. And Anne was gone, so I guess no one really noticed. Except probably they did.
Right now, I’m listening to Bob Dylan’s Biograph. I wish I’d thought up the name “Biograph” for a three disk series of songs about my life. That would be pretty nice.
I’ve decided to have a lunch for the debaters on the 29th. It’s International Hug a Vegetarian Day. And that’s pretty effin worth cooking some delicious vegetarian soup. Now, I just have to decide what makes the best “welcome to fall” soup. Is it fall now? I think so. How crazy.
Jarred is in Kuwait. Which means not in Iraq. Which means alive. I feel like this huge weight of worry will be removed from my shoulders the second I know he’s back in the United States. He said he’ll call me. I’m totally gonna answer the phone. I hope.
