Man, I�ve been reading as if finals are coming up. And it�s been wonderful. Well, especially since I�m not in any kind of schooling right now. Stephen Dobyns, whose poems I enjoy immensely, has a compilation from his various poetry books over the decades, called Velocities . Talk about your cynical misanthropes. But the writing is so... it just neatly and almost surgically slices through my layers that I can�t even feel his smooth, cold point until it�s reached my core and resonates from there. You know what I mean?
Along with that, I�m still making my way through Fast Food Nation: the Dark Side of the All-American Meal, by Eric Schlosser. Very interesting and extremely informative. A few other novelty books and daily quotes and meditations, and then of course, the intense spirituality that is Dante , who tucks me into bed every night with a whisper of a kiss from another time. Sigh, I do so love words.
I finally saw Kitty�s new place last night! My God, it�s gorgeous. Hardwood floors, adorable courtyard, I am SO going to frequent her new pad. We had dinner with my sis and then stopped by Bunny�s for a bit. Then, I went home to relax, do my bills, and clean up a bit before my father�s return home tomorrow. I feel so refreshed in so many ways. And tonight... I dance.
