babies and best friends

Tan is going to hold on the the holiday dj gig sans me since I literally live in buff fuck Africa. It's hard being away from your best friend but even harder when you are pregnant and can't sit on the couch together watching keeping up with the Kardashians. So here is a reminder of an album she should probably play and hope that Loren doesn't ruin the night.

back to work in Kenya (saturday reading)


“[M]any nations of the third world are described as ‘underdeveloped’. These less wealthy nations are generally those that suffered under colonialism and neo-colonialism. The ‘developed’ nations are those that exploited their resources and wealth. Therefore, rather than referring to these countries as ‘underdeveloped’, a more appropriate and meaningful designation might be ‘over exploited’. Again, transpose this term next time you read about the ‘underdeveloped nations’ and note the different meaning that results.”

— Robert B. Moore, “Racist Stereotyping in the English Language”

year of the dog

re-reading the book

“The sense of unhappiness is so much easier to convey than that of happiness. In misery we seem aware of our own existence, even though it may be in the form of a monstrous egotism: this pain of mine is individual, this nerve that winces belongs to me and to no other. But happiness annihilates us: we lose our identity.” ― Graham GreeneThe End of the Affair

margo says


“When I am lonely for boys it’s their bodies I miss. I study their hands lifting the cigarettes in the darkness of the movie theaters, the slope of a shoulder, the angle of a hip. Looking at them sideways, I examine them in different lights. My love for them is visual: that is the part of them I would like to possess. Don’t move, I think. Stay like that, let me have that.”- Margaret Atwood

scandal



criterioncorner:
THIS IS THE STORY OF HOW ANNA KARINA & JEAN-LUC GODARD FIRST “GOT TOGETHER”
Anna Karina: That happened while we were shooting the picture in Geneva. It was a strange love story from the beginning. I could see Jean-Luc was looking at me all the time, and I was looking at him too, all day long.  We were like animals. One night we were at this dinner in Lausanne. My boyfriend, who was a painter, was there too. And suddenly I felt something under the table – it was Jean-Luc’s hand. He gave me a piece of paper and then left to drive back to Geneva. I went into another room to see what he’d written.  It said, “I love you.  Rendezvous at midnight at the Café de la Prez.” And then my boyfriend came into the room and demanded to see the piece of paper, and he took my arm and grabbed it and read it.  He said, “You’re not going.” And I said, “I am.” And he said, “But you can’t do this to me.”  I said, “But I’m in love too, so I’m going.” But he still didn’t believe me. We drove back to Geneva and I started to pack my tiny suitcase.  He said, “Tell me you’re not going.” And I said, “I’ve been in love with him since I saw him the second time. And I can’t do anything about it.” It was like something electric. I walked there, and I remember my painter was running after me crying. I was, like, hypnotized – it never happened again to me in my life.
So I get to the Cafe de la Prez, and Jean-Luc was sitting there reading a paper, but I don’t think he was really reading it. I just stood there in front of him for what seemed like an hour but I guess was not more that thirty seconds. Suddenly he stopped reading and said,” Here you are. Shall we go?” So we went to his hotel. The next morning when I woke up he wasn’t there. I got very worried. I took a shower, and then he came back about an hour later with the dress I wore in the film - the white dress with flowers. And it was my size, perfect. It was like my wedding dress.
We carried on shooting the film, and, of course, my painter left. When the picture was finished, I went back to Paris with Jean-Luc, Michel Subor, who was the main actor, and Laszlo Szabo, who was also in the film, in Jean-Luc’s American car. We were all wearing dark glasses and we got stopped at the border – I guess they thought we were gangsters. When we arrived in Paris, Jean-Luc dropped the other two off and said to me, “Where are you going?”  I said, “I have to stay with you. You’re the only person I have in the world now.” And he said, “Oh my God.”

July 18, 2012


Living with life is very hard. Mostly we do our best to stifle life - to be tame or to be wanton, to be tranquillised or raging. Extremes have the same effect; they insulate us from the intensity of life.
And extremes - whether of dullness or fury - successfully prevent feeling. I know our feelings can be so unbearable that we employ ingenious strategies—unconscious strategies—to keep those feelings away. We do a feelings-swap, where we avoid feeling sad or lonely or afraid or inadequate, and feel angry instead. It can work the other way, too—sometimes you do need to feel angry, not inadequate; sometimes you do need to feel love and acceptance, and not the tragic drama of your life.
It takes courage to feel the feeling—and not trade it on the feelings-exchange, or even transfer it altogether to another person.

— Jeanette Winterson

Poem of the Month

This is my new favorite poem.  enjoy!

Lear's Wife, by W.S. Merwin


If he had ever asked me
I could have told him

If he had listened to me
it would have been
another story

I knew them before
they were born

with Goneril at my breast
I looked at the world
and saw blood in darkness
and tried to wake

with Regan at my breast
I looked at the world
and covered my mouth

with Cordelia in my arms
at my breast
I wanted to call out to her
in love and helplessness
and I wept

as for him
he had forgotten me
even before they did

only Cordelia
did not forget
anything
but when asked she said
nothing

issues with commitment


“My passionate sense of social justice and social responsibility has always contrasted oddly with my pronounced lack of need for direct contact with other human beings and human communities. I am truly a ‘lone traveler’ and have never belonged to my country, my home, my friends, or even my immediate family, with my whole heart; in the face of all these ties, I have never lost a sense of distance and a need for solitude…”

One takes the straight line,
another goes in a circle
and longs for the return to the parents’ house
and longs for a former girlfriend.
But I go, not in a straight line or in a zigzag,
into nowhere and never,
and disasters follow me
like trains crashing off the tracks.

tough titty, kitty

for those of you who know and love jasper (I'm looking at you, tin), it was recently recommended I transform my fluffy little man into a sad, shaved shadow of his former self in the interests of his "health" and "comfort." whatever. I know jaspy cares more about his looks than anything but I love him so much that I'm going to do it, despite how embarrassed he's gonna feel.

Gotta case of the mondays

So I am unable to post my own photos from my bitchy lazy fucking iPad. Oh well but that's why you are seeing already posted URL images.

Its Monday and listening to the news is always still a bit of shock but today's story it bizarre. A man has sued his wife because she won't kiss him. He recently had reconstructive surgery on his lips and cheek after being mauled by a dog. The docs grafted skin from his rear. Sooo his wife's defense is that she can't bring herself to "kiss his ass". TRUE STORY!


Everyone sues everyone here. It's nutty. Tantrum would have so much work here.

I'm out.

bye bye my Addie

do not stand at my grave and weep,
i am not there, i do not sleep,
i am a thousand winds that blow,
i am the diamond glint on snow,
i am the sun on ripened grain,
i am the gentle autumn rain,
when you awaken in the mornings hush,
i am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circling flight,
i am the soft star shine at night,
do not stand at my grave and cry,
i am not there, i did not die

oh you kevin drew

have not posted any song lyrics in a while so today will be the day.

love vs. porn
Well i woke up and my mouth was a little dry
so i grab moisturizer and try not to cry
spoke to my hand and then started to dream.
You came into my bed and i tied you up
we went underneath and i taught you the cup(?)
while people were watching how you and me breathe.

And i got lost in the warm
And i got lost in the hole
And i got lost in the arms
The softness i stolen was never round to be left

So i got addicted to watching the screen
that kids today all can't picture sex clean
and all the time the body slowly broke apart
Noone knows no more how to cum inside
Its all about the dirt we hide and our pride
and tissues become our slow and wasted heart

We'll get lost in the warm
We'll get lost in the hole
We'll get lost in our arms
The softness we stole was never about the love

Ladies on the screen can never replicate........?? before we even kiss.
The joy, the joy used to be in all the books.
Kids today think that hookers are the hook
And hearts beat better in a bed when they're missed

And they'll get lost in the warm
And they'll get lost in the holes
And they'll get lost in the arms
The softness they stole will never ever be able to love
