making (non)sense: readings and readers
http://making-non-sense.blogspot.com/2011/01/readings-and-readers.html
Tuesday, January 18, 2011. I went to a reading a few weeks ago at KGB Bar. And I was struck by how different the two readers were. The first read a short speech about how the recent US publication of his first published novel came about, and he then read the first two chapters of his novel. The second gave a short introduction (a sentence or two) and read two nonconsecutive chapters from her novel (also her first, I believe). Robert Lopez's book of stories, Asunder. There's more where that came from.

Monday, July 13, 2009. Thank you, Robin. For reminding me why I did it. And why I shouldn't regret it for a second. I don't 99.99% of the time, but there are those three minutes a month when I'm hitting submit on student loans that are the same as my rent.). Because nothing has a set meaning. And now I'm going to enjoy some of this sunshine. Did I mention I'm also reading Nietzsche this week? What's on your summer reading list? Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Tuesday, October 12, 2010. My) girls and (some) clothes; poetry. The piece inspired me to actually go through with cleaning out my closet once and for all and doing a major thrift shopping therapy. It's a new season and I am settling into my new neighborhood. It's time. Am I going to start reading her blog? I don't even read my friends' fashion blogs - or literary blogs or political blogs for that matter. I have a feeling that this will in fact be changing. The creation of trans lit mag.

making (non)sense: February 2010
http://making-non-sense.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Sunday, February 28, 2010. What is a normal life? Is it a choice one makes or is it a series of decisions one is forced into? Having found oneself not. With a normal life, can one elect to suddenly have one? The definition of normal is "conforming to the standard or the common type; usual; not abnormal; regular; natural.". Let's look at that a bit. Conforming. To the standard. Common. Usual. Not abnormal. Regular. Natural. Wow, that sounds boring. I didn't ask. "What does that even mean? I also didn't ask.

Wednesday, October 7, 2009. Letters to the Editor. The year 2009 has already been the deadliest year in Afghanistan for U.S troops. 867 Americans have died to date. And even more Afghan civilians have died as ‘collateral damage’ from US air bombardments as well from the sharp increase in suicide bombings. It’s no wonder that Afghan opposition to our presence is growing. Far from solving the problems, our aggressive military operations are part of the problem. So what is the alternative?

making (non)sense: November 2010
http://making-non-sense.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 7, 2010. Having to prove it. My friend J gave me the best advice the other night. "We all know you're smart," he said. "You don't have to go to law school to prove it.". Because, in one sense, that would be what I would be doing. I just hadn't thought about it that way. I think I would be really good at it. That's not the same thing as wanting to do it. Because I don't actually want to be a lawyer. I already have a master's degree. ("How's that working out for you? Is off to a nice start...
