GENDER TROUBLE
do you think it’s okay to use phrases like “a post-Butler world” in an essay? what is happening to me?
goodbye, beard. hello, summer.
this never lasts long.
NUFF SAID
IT’S AWESOME OUTSIDE BUT INSTEAD I WILL STAY INSIDE AND WONDER TO MYSELF
WHAT WOULD ROBIN WOOD SAY ABOUT THE THING
WEEKEND HIGHLIGHTS
1. visits from new paltz + montreal pals, ie. some of the raddest folks i know slumber-partying in my city
2. honest ed’s junk and bmv/beguiling comic book shopping spree, including green thigh-high socks for 88 cents and at least 10 comics for under 50 bucks
3. xiu xiu performing “frankie teardrop” and hanging out in a park with goths
4. super bourgeoisie wedding food tasting of 4 courses and dessert (all for free!)
5. reorganizing all of the books in our living room and making a giant pile of shit to get rid of
6. mind-blowing sex, f’realz
just a few of the goodies i got this weekend at TCAF; what nerdy fun!

also i guess i quit smoking. it’s been about a week. it’s been kind of stressful but i’m trekking through.
THE LIE AND HOW WE TOLD IT
okay, so let’s get real: i spent none of this weekend studying.
friday: hung out with my friend paul and we watched lilja 4-ever which was basically The Most Depressing Thing.
saturday: worked most of the day, and then went to see yo la tengo at the toronto underground cinema for the closing night of the images festival. they performed their score for the sounds of science (eight films by jean painlevé) over 35mm projections. then i hit up my friend jen’s housewarming party and biked home at three AM, at which point i ate leftover pie and watched the short films of peter greenaway before passing out.
sunday: woke up late, had some weird combination of breakfast/dinner (ie. “first meal at 5pm”) with tara and javy at utopia, and then we watched a zed and two noughts in preparation for the first episode of our new podcast (in which we will discuss our favourite film).
my exam is tomorrow, so i guess today is the day that i do nothing but read about the french revolution.
