spaztic attempt to get back into the swing of it.

Listening to: The Ditty Bops.
Thinking about: how strange it is that the more sleep I get,the more tired I am.
Excited about: recent opportunities for music-making and poetry-reading!

JUST FINISHED READING 2 books this past week: Fancy Strut by Lee Smith (she makes such great characters) and Dharma Bums by Kerouac, which makes me wish for a simpler life.


...for any and all who even risk peeking at this page to see if it's been updated:

It's summer and it's the first summer since I became a teacher that I haven't moved or switched jobs or undergone any major or conscious life-altering. I've found myself creating a routine, breaking it out of respect of the season (who wants rules, schedules, and bounds in the most pleasant season off?) and re-creating a semblance of routine a third of the way into this time off.

summer will be playing music, reading and writing poetry, weaning myself off of myspace, drinking more lattes, breaking senseless rules, planning outfitis to wear for various social occasions, learning more French, remembering more Italian, eating vegetables, and hopefully simplifying life. salud.
