If you've been wondering what I'm doing
Music I have been listening to a lot:
Modest Mouse
The Knife
Minor Threat
and only one song by Xiu Xiu- "Sad Pony Guerrilla Girl".
falling asleep to Broken Social Scene.
Last week it was Sonic Youth and Joy Division.
Around monday and tuesday it was Black Lips and Man Man, just to remind me of last march.
I think I might be getting into some Liars and Casiotone for the painfully alone soon. Don't forget fall music. Television and Sonic Youth's "Washing Machine".
everyone here listens to vampire weekend and smokes cloves. The leaves are just beginning to turn and the cicadas are dying. Reading Noam Chomsky for writing workshop. eat, sleep, art, repeat.

quotes.
I found these while going through old notebooks.
"Only those who still have hope can benefit from tears."
"It is hard to laugh at the need for beauty and romance, no matter how tasteless, even horrible, the results of that need are. but it is easy to sigh. few things are sadder than the truly monstrous."- West. Day of The Locust
"The cell phones in the pockets of the dead students were still ringing when we were told that it was wrong to ask why. As police cleared the bodies from the Virginia Tech engineering building, the cell phones rang, in the eccentric varieties of ring tones, as parents kept trying to see if their children were ok"- Adam Gopnik "the New Yorker" April, 2007.
"Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pout les enfants, de toujours et toujours leur donner des explications." - Le Petit Prince. Antoine de Saint-Exupery.
something along the lines of: adults do not understand anything, and it is tiring for children to be forever explaining things to them. (Better in french, duh.)
"People sometimes say that the way things happen in the movies is unreal, but actually it's the way things happen to you in life that's unreal. The movies make emotions look so strong and real, whereas when things really do happen to you, it's like watching television-- you dont feel anything." - Andy Warhol. one of my favorites.
"We live in an age when the serious middle brow idiot craves for a literature of ideas for the novel of social comments." Nabokov, Act III of Lolita: A Screenplay
"You Ache with the need to convince yourself that you do exist in the real world." - Invisible Man.
From the last entries in Mayakovsky's notebook:
"I.
She loves me? She loves me not?
I wring
my hands and scatter the broken-off fingers
like petals you pluck from some
white little flower along your way.
You hold them up to the breeze,
they've told your fortune,
they drift off into May."
