This is my life?
So, the semester is full swing, and I’m already behind. But I started behind because I had such a shitty Christmas break. So, ok. I met with Wesley and Ree Ree on Saturday for our writing group and blocked out goals for the semester again. We’ll see how well I can do this. I went to the Black Box on Saturday night for a groovy show — a comedy troupe from Florida, The Mickee Faust Club — it was exactly what I needed. The show was heavily queer and it felt really good to be in that space for a while. So few people here get queer politics; it’s really frustrating. I feel so trapped in the late 70s here. When black people looked like Sanford and Son and JJ, women still had beehives (the higher the hair, the closer to god), and politics meant reform. Shit, you can’t move into the third wave, when the second wave hasn’t even hit here yet.
Josh sent me a couple of cool links. Yay, Josh. One to the Chronicle of Higher Ed’s discussion of cyborgs, which I threw on the Donna Haraway page. The other to a funny LotR pic giving definitive proof that Frodo failed to destroy the ring.
I also found a cool website that I’ve been surfing about the origin of slang words. I was looking up Cup of Joe, which isn’t there, unfortunately. It’s called the Phrase Finder.
I am now getting emails from merchants in Dubai. Does anyone know why? I have forwarded Faisel Ahmed’s address to the Nigerians, suggesting that they have mutual interests and that they might be able to help each other out. Perhaps they will agree to giving me a cut for brokering this deal
