Okay, so rather drunk last night, crawled under my comforter and couldn't figure out why it smelled of salmon sushi. Drunkenly sniffed the top of the comforter- only Freshly Laundered smells. Drunkenly sniffed the bottom? Sushi smell. Rice vinegar and salmon. I was certain of this. This morning? No smell. The world is mysterious.
Why do I keep listening to Bjork's (imagine a umlaut there, for me) Bachelorette? It's just the first thing I play on a music spree anymore. Good song, but why am I so drawn to it? I have a lot of good songs on this thing. And speaking of music sprees, have burned almost the entirety of Colin and Ben's music selections. I'm almost done surfing Annie and Therese's as well. I want to listen to all of this, but feel like I haven't time to. Ah, well, that's what summer is for. I keep telling myself I'll have time then to really get into this music and decide whether I like it.
So, at first I was kind of disappointed with The Tempest for not living up to the image of it I had, because I'd been told by a number of sources it was 'omg teh best skspr play evah!,' and I read it and it wasn't bad, but certainly not my favorite. But we had a great discussion in class about conflicting visions of utopia and Brave New World in conversation with the Tempest, and I started to think about Gonzalo's monologue about the static utopia of contentment in contrast to Belize's monologue about Heaven in Perestroika, and I started to appreciate Tempest as being, in a addition to fluffy fun, meaningful in that context and cool. yay. /geek
Drunk!Colin: Erin... want to flash us?
Drunk!Erin: *pauses, incredibly confused* ...No. No I don't.
I don't know whether I've been responding well to things lately. If I've been as mature or unselfish as I need to be. I don't really think I have, but then, I wasn't exactly given the chance I should have been. Regardless, need to step up. And yet, I deserve that chance. And basic, simple things. It's complicated. Complicated is not something I typically get involved in, it feels too much like drama. But you know,it's all going to be alright. Everything always is.
