Getting Caught Up

I spoke with Mal by phone tonight for almost two hours, which I thoroughly enjoyed. Brian called, too; I must remember to phone him back.

Our big UN week looms in the near future, and I think that graduation will be even more shortly thereafter in the horizon.

A disappointing day, Gaul-wise, since I turned in a sub-par French paper. I'm very unhappy with myself. It had potential; I'd like to work on it somemore.

Sometimes love triangles can look more like rectangles, actually. Either way, it's not good. As Princess Diana said, "there were three of us in this marriage." Yikes!

I ordered a suit online today, since I'm not sure when I'll have the chance to go shopping. I need to go to Mountain View once before leaving for NYC, at least, and I'm scheduled to see Woodrow on Thursday, although that's the same day Gloria Steinem will be speaking here and I don't know what to do.

Tomorrow is salsa night at the Shattuck Down Low. Tempting to get out a bit, especially since I've really never had a social life at bars and clubs and stuff. I went out for a white russian with Brenna tonight; she and I are becoming Millsian barflies (not really)! It's exciting to think about what the world has to offer.

We Are Human

it's how we deal with it that matters. had a long talk over lunch with misrak about racism. she has a lot to say, and a lot to deal with. she talked about the appalling attitude of a woman she recently worked with. it's very eye-opening to hear "the other side of the story," i.e. a person of color talking about being on the receiving end of racism. it's heartbreaking and horrifying, and an education in itself. lots of work remains to be done.

The Clear Light of Day

my mom helped me put a piece of the puzzle into place today. it's all about clarity; and the more clearly i see it for what it really is, the more able i am to let go of it. we had talked about abuse and repeating behavior patterns, etc., and agreed that we were both committed to doing things differently. the abuse began to sneak in, though, and i can see that sh*t coming a mile away and knew exactly what it was when it hit. and, i didn't believe it. in retrospect, that's what it was. a kink in her operating system she wasn't dealing with. automatic danger. it's one thing if folks are prepared to deal with all of their stuff, but if they're in denial about anything, it's just going to get larger and larger until something is done. it was always going to go in just one direction. the signs were there. there really is such a thing as "too good to be true." if that's "too good to be true," then what's the real deal? where

Trimming the Fat

weeding through my entire blog--there are almost 1400 posts! quality over quantity; getting rid of stuff that seems irrelevent or misplaced or superfluous or otherwise dissatisfactory. saw a great documentary on the History Channel today about Hitler's family. turns out there are still a few living in the US! they've also had a good series on the SS, but, most importantly, tomorrow night they start the entire " Band of Brothers " series! i never tire of watching it. literally! i'm 15 pounds lighter with muscle to boot. can't believe it. cutting sugar and flour really works. started bob tonight, just love it. i'd like to get the soundtrack. dentist on friday. i'd like to get my blog to about 1000 posts. quite time consuming. turning in is the answer, not out. growth, expansion, new life. it's about time. i am so stale, and i can hardly breathe in here. the window hasn't been open for ages, and i cannot feel fresh air on my face or see the out
