Bloglet, the gentleman's mock turtle soup -- Moss made it sweeter than myrrh ash and dhoup
Brett Esaki (of Brett and the Esaki Bombs fame, whose rehearsal I failed to show up to today.. gluh) is typing industriously about Philoctetes next to me. I wish I was typing industriously. Yeurrrgh. Yesterday a chick sitting in the same place as he is now said "Could you not type so fast? You're making my monitor jiggle." But it wasn't on my paper. It was bloglet comments. I missed Mr. Balcom's inauguration. Sorry, Mr. Balcom. I'm gonna miss the ball, too. Senior dinners tonight. Two of the people I'm eating with I sort of dislike, in that not-any-particular-thing kind of way... they just bug me, and I can't blame them for it, but oh well. The other three I don't know. It's a beautiful beautiful day outside... warm, and lots of sun, and every time I look at the sky out here I don't understand how the sky can be blue in an artfully designed universe. It's too gaudy... it clashes with all the other colors. The sky is such a huge thing, it should be painted some neutral color, you know? Like, at night. Black is fine. Or gray, like when it's overcast. Or even pale yellow... something like that. But the blues out here are too intense. They violate the harmony. I should know. My parents painted all the rooms in their house pale, hinting colors. I wanted to paint my room black, but my mom wouldn't let me (it wasn't out of adolescent angst... it was out of that neutral, quiet feeling. Like, y'know, there's two types of webpages with black backgrounds (excluding the free-speech ones, which are just kind of silly)... there's the ones with intimidating bad-ass black, and there's the ones who just ride white-on-black easier than black-on-white, but it's just a little reversal, not a big hoo-ha. Anyway, that's what I wanted. Grey probably would have been better for that, now that I think about it.) so I painted my room two shades of eye-singing bright blue. James Brown called it "improbable blue". And the cast it lent to all the objects in my room... I kinda liked it, but it was overwhelming. Same thing with the sky out here, exactly. Hm. I like bare lightbulbs with strings hanging off them. I like strings hanging down from ceilings in general, actually. Bell-pulls, lavatory chains, subway-hanging straps, climbing ropes in gym class... not flypaper, though. Flypaper is nasty nasty. Hm.

T.I.A.I.L.W.:these people (well, the two middle ones, mostly), because they're playing pool and they've got bassoons, and I want to play my bassoon right now, and I want to play pool right now, but I haven't got time. Plus, I liked the hat.

Um, I'd never heard of her before, and I don't know a damn thing about her, but she looks good in tails, so, T.I.A.I.L.W.:Miss Jimmy Reynard! (Gladys Bentley would naturally qualify too, but she's a bona-fide famous musician and everything, so I'd feel like a poser if I put her up here without actually listening to her recordings... I'll remedy that, though, I promise.)

If you could be a stowaway in any factory or institution, what would it be? I mean, you live there... you hide during the day, and only come out at night... maybe you live off whatever you can find there, maybe you sneak out now and then to get supplies, but all your worldy possessions are there, and you know all the secret passages and legends and secrets, and at night, when everyone's gone, it's your mansion.
Personally, I'd live in the Mushroom cupboard of this place.

I think this is cute. Sort of like our "The Following Teachers..." schtick, but less la-di-da. Eh?

I'm trying to convince Jeff Johnston to get a weblog. He's being reticent. The little bugger. I'll get him yet.

I realized all of a suddden last night that I have two Rs in my name. I didn't think of myself as the kind of person who would have even one R, but I have two! It was sort of depressing for a while. But then I realized that all my friends have at least one R in their names, and sometimes more than one, and I never held that against them. And then I started thinking of people with names like Stephanie Johnson, and I felt a lot better.

Ok. I know everything I want for my birthday, and y'all have got two months to get it. (I'm 21 on St. Patrick's Day. Hell yeah.)
1. Non-mint toothpaste.
2. A little pot with bells around the rim that when you boil it it plays "Ach, du Lieber Augustine" and if you stick your finger in the steam you can taste everything that everyone in the city's having for dinner.
3. A Yiddish-Speaking Woman.
4. A trip to a big laundromat with lots of lint traps that need emptying.
5. A starfruit.

An ex-Fe Johnny blog. Another one. An ex-Johnny blog from I couldn't tell which. Another one. One ex-Naptown Johnny. No current ones that I could find. I wonder why?

I feel like I'm in the arctic circle or something... I fall asleep at weird hazy glowing twilight, and I wake up at weird hazy glowing twilight. A good thing.
