TRAPPED BETWEEN THE DOCTOR AND THE MAGISTRATE
Well, it would seem that everything I said before has changed. I still think it's stupid for people to communicate through away messages. (Um, hi, let's talk about deferral and differeance, shall we?) However, my life is not as wrecked as I thought it would be. People are taking care of me, things are going right in my classes, and I feel like a pretty damn productive person, all things considered. So far I'm getting a new minizine (tentatively titled "panopticon"), a scarf, a scarf knitting business, some photobooth pictures and an Orange Julius (thanks, Matt), and so much home-cooked food. I should get a broken heart every day. (That's a joke. I don't recommend it.)
At the moment, this will be just for news. First of all, the CMU Jazz Ensembles have their first concert this Sunday, October 27th, at 7:00 PM in Kresge Hall, College of Fine Arts, Carnegie Mellon U. campus. My ensemble is playing funk, and while that's not my favorite style of music, I'm just warning you right now that I really let loose on some of those solos, and you're going to want to be there. Secondly, I'm reading at the Student Reading Series next Tuesday at 7:30 PM in the Gladys Schmitt Creative Writing Center, Baker Hall 260, CMU campus. This is a departmental event within the Creative Writing Department, and it's all students. This reading should be even more fun than usual because the readers will be attired in Halloween costumes. This is my writing deb ball, my coming out party, and I would love if you were there. There is free pizza afterwards, by the way.
Thirdly and fourthly and fifthly, there is an absolute bevvy of events to attend tomorrow (Friday) evening. The Girls are playing at the Women of CS Picnic around 8:00, and it would behoove you to show up. Obviously. Corn on the cobviously. My-son's-a-slobviously. I've heard very exciting gossip about this show, none of which I can confirm, but the possibility exists that my roommate Jennifer "Legs" Sabino will sit in on keys. (That's "piano" for those of you unfamiliar with da school of jazz.) That very same night, also at eight, the No Parking Players are tearing it up in the Danforth Lounge. You should always try to see NPP becuase they are pure deisel, but tomorrow night the absolutely saucy Brian Grey is debuting within their troupe. You really want to be in both places at once. If you talk to any of the Girls, they'll probably try to coerce you into going to the NPP show, but their show is going to be super hot. I leave it up to you. Fifthly, I've heard that the Gameboy Project (formerly odi, but with jumpsuits, i mean no jumsuits, and like, members of the Beatles and Jon Brodsky playing music via gameboy) is playing sometime on Friday night at Yann's place, but I can't confirm or give you times or anything. Leave it to serendipity, I guess.
Also: I've decided to start a knitting business. I spend a lot of time knitting anyway, so I may as well siphon off some of my neurotic energy and sell it to the people, right? Here's the deal: every scarf will be commissioned by you, and the color, length, width, and stitch is entirely your choice. You can also leave the design of your scarf in my hands and see what kind of customized wonder I cook up for you. There are a few caveats, however: I may not be able to make you the exact scarf you ask for based on yarn availability, the degree of complication involved, and the difficulty of the pattern, but I'm going to try my darndest. Also, by ordering a scarf you agree that 1)I am just one person, 2)I am usually pretty busy, and 3)your scarf will get done whenever it gets done. You understand that I am doing this on my free time, out of my own nervy desire to accomplish something during my long, lonely hours. That said, I will put as much care and love into the construction of each piece as I possibly can. Prices negotiable (but never over $15); see me soon for order forms.
Whew!
