Tuesday June 11th 2019 6:20PM Home from the MoMA. Much fun! Was enjoyable the whole way through. It is much better to be able to talk to someone else, though still fun alone (depends on the person, depends on the time.) Turns out I have a cover letter due today, []. Going to select a… Continue reading 6-11-19
Category: Journal
a fictionalized, madlibian journal i imagine to be kept by somebody like and unlike myself. a writing exercise.
“cybernetic serendipity”
(the way a too-full archive bends back into banality)
“The drama of the notebook—and the immediacy of certain marks, erasures, rewrites—cannot be overemphasized, as though the notebook were a kind of feedback device working in tandem with the performance works themselves.”

June 10th 2019 11:07 AM Would the body of an ant smell? Why do I think it would smell sweet, but sickly sweet, and only up close? Do ants mourn the body of ants? Do they recognize them as ants? Do they recognize them as possible extensions of themselves? Vanitas. That ant, crumpled and deceased,… Continue reading 6-10-19

June 6th 2019 11:41AM I guess the days are starting to pass more quickly now. Still only the fourth day after graduation I guess. How long Jesus was gone. Didn’t work on my apps last night, helped [] instead. [] is in Eastlake, Ohio. I probably shouldn’t but I’m gonna quickly look at the Wikipedia… Continue reading 6-6-19

Wednesday June 5th 2019 11:29AM Dreamt about my thesis last night. There was a table of people. A lot of them people of color. I had to defend it, I don’t remember what specifically. I think that part wasn’t that bad? It was bad, I got a 2 (?) out of what? 3 I think?… Continue reading 6-5-19

Tuesday June 4th 2019 11:24 AM Went to bed early last night; showered around 11PM. Had an alarm set for 9:30AM—wasn’t ridiculous, I had been getting tired before that and even after the shower didn’t really have trouble falling asleep or anything. Days moving slowly—can’t believe I went to the library and Chase yesterday. Can’t… Continue reading 6-4-19

Mom was just telling me (right before this entry) that she was so proud of the awards I got. Started tearing up partly because I was… Continue reading 6-3-19
