This is what I look like. That is my beloved cat Patches, who recently
passed away. On a good day my skin isn't so shiny and Patches' eyes weren't
always so alien-glowing-green. These pictures were taken in Patches' vacation
home in south Florida.
I've finished all my graduate applications. Hooray. Now I sit here and
wait while I go into dept from all the application and testing fees.

Yikes, well....
- Patches passed away. I miss her dearly and feel grateful to have shared
my life with another living creature that lived such a happy full life.
Patches was an excellent bird catcher and a loving friend. I miss having
animals and am hoping to cohabit with an avian
friend...
- I spent a kick-ass three weeks in Spain, Portuagal and Morocco in
the company of some of my most favorite people.
- I'm applying to graduate programs in anthropology--I mean poetry--I
mean linguistics--I mean psychology--I mean anthropology. Yes, anthropology.
Hooray for Nathaniel
Tarn and Jerome
Rothenberg!
- I went to southern Maryland and hung out with more of my favorite
people, enjoyed fall weather, and disovered am allergic to something, but
have no idea what.
- The NMD project at work is at last rolling. Look for me in the papers,
or at least on a new Stimson Center
website which should be all up and running and pretty come spring!
- I discovered that I like Philladelphia. It feels like a city in a
way DC doesn't, even though it is. Archetecture.
- I'm frustrated with discourse. If I lived somewhere larger I would
throw large parties, or at least have people over for dinner.

After watching Nosferatu I
realize there is an uncanny similarity between the rock
hyrax and Count Orlock:

I hope they pospone the decision of what to sell Taiwan until a little
later...June? Just say we're sorry. God, the US blatently spys on the PRC
and can't even apologize. Ach.
Oh yeah and I'm giving a poetry reading this evening. Wish me luck.

Check
out how cool Charlie and Mom are! They're the ones behind the stage on
the right side of the photo in the first row. Look for two people with
red and white shirts respectively! (This photo is from AP by Alan Diaz,
with the caption "U2 plays during the opening night of the band's Elevation
Tour 2001, in Sunrise, Fla., Saturday, March 24, 2001.")

Uh...I finished the evil grant proposal at work and took an advanced
level street jam class last night...
