"You sound to me as though you don't believe in free will," said Billy Pilgrim. "If I hadn't spent so much time studying Earthlings," said the Tralfamadorian, "I wouldn't have any idea what was meant by free will. I've visited 31 inhabited planets in the universe...Only on Earth is there any talk of free will." -- K. Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

twin town

Between going to high school at Central and Arts High, and working at the Walker (and buying all my food at the Wedge) I think I knew 80% of the people at the movie in Loring Park tonight, but only knew 15% of their names. The strategy I employ in response to their hellos is to point at them and open my mouth slightly while making any number of faces, which range from astonished to half-giggle. Seeing all those people helps me realize how much I've actually changed since high school, which is a quite reassuring. I've spent years thinking that I am the same person I was eight years ago, but it so untrue. Yes, I still think too much and get caught up in issues I wish I could forget, but there is something to be said about perspective. And sometimes you need Loring Park to hand that to you. People come and go, but there is always summer movies in the park? Or something like that. Next week (Monday, August 2) everyone check out Nellie handing out Walker ice cream during the movie! If there's any left, I'll be lending a hand after 8:30 (German class).

I have been trying to get someone to go out for some Indian curry with me all week. Eh, I know, half the time it's my fault. Well, maybe more than half. Doesn't anyone want to get curry anymore?

Right now I am:

listening to: This Charming Man (The Smiths)

and playing with the polaroid camera. So much fun in a little box.

Hi Jecca,

I don't know if you actively update this blog, but hopefully you'll see this. So I heard that you're going to India this winter for a wedding. Anyway, I'll be there also (in Madras) the end of december and early january. I don't know if it's really possible to meet up (or if you'd want to), but figured I'd let you know.
