“If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.”

First NYC Play

I was happy to get the chance to see Jennifer Miller's
Cracked Ice/or the Jewels of the Forbidden Skates last weekend. It was my first play I'd ever seen in NYC! And it was great! Here's to jokes about Carolee Schneeman's Interior Scroll!

Daily Reading Log

February 3, 2012

  • More Murakami, still in small bits.

February 2, 2012

  • After seeing someone reading the new Murakami on a train platform yesterday (and seeing that they were further along than I am--after a month of reading and not reading it), I lugged it along on my commute.

February 1, 2012

  • Started LeGuin's Left Hand of Darkness, traveling from work to school.

January 30, 2012

  • "Pictures will be graded on sincerity and evidence of time spent using up your crayons." (If only all art teachers were this straightforward.)
  • More of The Marriage Plot. Probably will finish it today and look into more Eugenides.

January 29, 2012

  • The Marriage Plot. Sympathizing with Leonard perhaps too much, from multiple perspectives.

January 28, 2012

  • More of The Marriage Plot

January 27, 2012

  • The Marriage Plot

January 26, 2012

  • Started The Marriage Plot, and am really, almost guiltily enjoying it.
  • Watched this crazy PBS show where they dissect a sperm whale because of just finishing Moby Dick. Although probably not as gory as a whale ship, it's really the real thing--watch out!
  • Realized that Moby Dick is the original Animals Being Dicks:*


*Or maybe that should be Animals being (Moby) Dicks?... Now somebody's gotta make a GIF...

January 25, 2012

  • Finished Moby Dick. Wow.

January 24, 2012

  • Articles and passages for a bibliography
  • Just a bit more of 1Q84

January 23, 2012

"To produce a mighty book, you must choose a mighty theme. No great and enduring volume can ever be written on the flea, through many there be who have tried it."*

(you couldn't tell our tale on a flea either--working on chapter XVIII)

January 22, 2011

  • More Melville.

January 21, 2012

  • Moby Dick on the train. Pulling out the tome made a fellow train traveler jump at the chance to discuss the book (he thought that the first and last 100 pages were amazing, but didn't like the parts in between, and wished me luck with getting through the rest of it. I'm in the 600's and not worried about finishing it, but I am wondering when that damn white whale will show up).
  • "Street Books: Anatomy of a Street Library" zine. Totally amazing! Check out Street Books!
  • This is Why I'll Never be an Adult

January 19-20, 2012

  • A tiny bit of Moby Dick, but stress city.

January 18, 2012

Official reaching-the-limits day. Read things, can't remember what.
