how very walden
on spanish:
re-taking and re-taking spanish has proven to be extremely beneficial. case in point: three weeks ago (hace tres anos que), my friends from italy began their visit to hawaii by means of san francisco. i have two friends that made the journeyvisit: one nearly bilingual (italian/english); the other can't speak english nearly as well. being that he (the latter - how terrible!) can't speak english as well, i've always gone towards spanish as "our" universal language. when he arrived a few weeks ago (before my spanish classes), our conversation was worthless. i'm happy to say (and shout! boldly!) that just this past weekend, only three weeks later, my spanish is returning in leaps and bounds and we could actually hold conversations for longer than 0.83sec - 17.89 min. yes! AND i can understand spanish-speakers on the street again. oh thank heavens.
on the italians:
i am so glad they came and feel like i am their cousins. although our respective relationships have changed over hte course of the previous three years, i am extremely EXTREMELY glad that they are in my life. they are my second strong group of friends on this planet, second to san antone/college station texas and all those connected to either/both.
on working for a circus:
it's a bit like working north by northgate or volunteering at southby, actually. no, really. seriously. i miss it, i loved it, i think i did an ok job and they would like me to come back in november. oh i am so happy about this.
on boys:
please see any experimental film by maya deren from 1943-1945. it's sort of ridiculous.
on the hours of my day:
it's a lot of work for far less money than i should be making elsewhere, but confoundit (eh? spelling? eh?) i am HAPPIER, better, and oh so much.
on birthdays:
i don't believe in astrology, but for the love a good number of you are making the rounds soon and i love you. i can say it. i can mean it. and i do.
talk with you soon -
