to. a. client. neat! i really hope he says "for all intensive purposes", too. it'd be a shame if we sounded like educated people here, you know?

it's all part of the dumbing down of america, people. all part of the decline of our education system, and the catering of our media to the lowest common denominator. we should call for a return to entertainment on par with 'your show of shows' and other late 50s/early 60s shows that were created with the intelligentsia in mind, as they were the only ones who really had tvs. then, once it spread, people who weren't as educated were watching and their ratings dropped. obviously. and i am not being elitist here; i think it's good, though, for people to be challenged occasionally by what they are entertained by. i mean, i enjoy billy madison as much as the next girl, but i do also like my sid ceasar, too. ah, and ernie kovaks. i miss having tv sometimes. and i don't not have a tv because i think it's evil, i don't have a tv because my sister and brother and cheap sons of bitches. when i move to iowa, though, i will have all the tv access i need. oh yeah, baby, oh yeah. and i will watch the actors studio on a 24 hr loop until i catch up. with the simpsons and jackass thrown in for good measure, of course. what i am talking about here is a balance, people. an aristotelian golden mean type idea, if you will. if i am remembering "the golden mean" correctly. if not, i will rest easy in the fact that the word "aristotelian" still makes me all tingly.

and i have big ideas when it comes to education; i used to want to start a school with my mentor. i would have classes in critical thinking (age appropriate, of course) all the way through. and ethics courses. and basic philosophy classes. and math classes that actually talk about mathematical history and theory so you understand a bit more about the Why rather than just going through rote mathematical operations. and mandatory art classes. and we wouldn't have competitive pe classes but spinning classes and hiking classes from an early age. and yoga.

for competition, the students can play bones. or pictionary. and in the lunch yard there can be chess tables set up like in golden gate park.

also, i think we should bring back penmanship classes. we should all be writing in beautiful script, no?

and all mail should be closed with wax seals. and hand carried by manservants. the manservants don't need to take the penmanship classes, though, because they are only manservants.

they should have to take lessons in deep massage, however. and have big monsterous hands. and like to be "attentive". and all be named Severin.

because they are manservants.

furthermore, i just paid all my bills, and am now broke. however. i would have been a-ok fine if it hadn't been for my car blowing it's tire. so, it seems that whenever i get a mini-itty-bitty-titty bit saved away, my car will have a shit fit.

i am going to have to hide my finances from him from now on.

BUT

i have finished all my bills for the month and it's only the 3rd and it's a 3 check month this month...so maybe i will get something socked away afterall. but please don't tell Lil Bro (not jon, my car. my car is named Lil Bro. keep up with me people,. jesus.)

and i got here at like 740 this morning. and now my eyes are kinda milk glazed, i am so tired. i got weird sleep last night. lots of watching the ceiling while petting mr bickerson and listening to my brother fumble around downstairs. and listening to live gybe! shows, which i have become obsessed with downloading, i think i have 5 so far.

and i have been thinking a lot about mail art the last few days. and checking my account on here (username central-red, of course) for new comments or information. i can't wait to scan the book i did so i can put it up there/here. i just put my stuff (which i've posted in here before, so you don't have to go look if you don't want) up early monday morning and i already have been contacted about it. the people i have talked to from there are super nice, and if you go look around, check out user SUBMIT, because i think his work is wicked dope ill sick. user Obscured is really something too.

lordy.

i would like to go home, take a nap, and then start tearing things apart to make something new.

and then send it off.

i need a digital camera and a scanner to document for myself.

patrons, take notice.
