I finally feel settled into my apartment. It's not glamorous, but it is neat and functional...It kinda pretty here. The weather has taken an ugly turn towards Fall! Its been rainy and yucky and all of those things.
I just realized that I need to purchase a home kit for things to have on hand in case of emergency and I would encourage you to do the same... it is a unique feeling that I am soley responsible for my own personal welfare...not ASC to protect or account for me.
Speaking of ASC I finally ordered a picture of me from graduation....what can I say you know I am sentimental. There is a really nice one of you, your aunts, Martin and your mom. I am not sure if you have already purchased a copy of it or not.
My job is still going well. I am not feeling this in front of a computer thing all day though. I feel like I am plugged into the Matrix in that regard....a drone of sorts.
Did I tell you Marc and I went to see bell hooks speak here in the 'Lou and she said she remembered me from ATlanta! I was blown away. I mean she had made eye contact with me earlier and smiled at me....big time, but I was like soooo honored. I saw here speak in the ATL in lil' 5. It was so crowded people had to sit on stage and you KNOW I was one of those people. Up front, up close and center.
I purchased one of her books about black people and self-esteem....it basically is supposed to be illuminating about how we can be whole epeople despite the daily assaults on our souls by this capitailistc, racist, imperialist, patriarchical society we live in.
I have been reading a book call casting stones. Its about the Asian sex trade. It talks about the sexual norms and mores of Japan...including its pornography, prositution and cultural underpinnings for both. I would love to get your opinion and observations.....I am admittedly less familiar with Japanese culture.... |
