life is more than going to see things.

[subjective]

here is an update.

lately it has been grey & dark & windy & kind of cold. it looks like a susan cooper novel outside. when i think about that, i love this weather.

i made moira's minestrone soup last night & it was a big hit & i can't wait to make it again. thanks moira.

eff the gre.

i have been thinking a lot about the day of remembrance & how many things "remember" can mean depending on one's perspective, & how we replicate the things we critique, & how communities get formed, & most of all how easy it is to lose perspective & forget once you (i) become more comfortable. i have been doing a lot of internal searching about that last part. nimmy wants to know why i'm so hard on myself; i feel a responsibility.

in related news, thank you to everyone who posted replies or sent email about my last entry.

"railroad boy" by the magnetic fields is absolutely my favorite song right now.
