Get this. For class next week, my homework is to do an interview/oral history of somebody--anybody, as long as I don't know them and they're not a student or professor who has passed through the warp-pipe bubble-enclave that is Swarthmore College

i should talk with you some time about Real Life. i'm not certain i believe in it. well, that's overly simplistic, but something like that.

sounds like a wonderful assignment, though.

I may become addicted to this assigment- start carrying a tape recorder with me and getting to know somebody interesting, new, different--somebody's story--every few days. After the first one, I'll just keep saying it's a class assignment, not daring to reveal that I just love collecting/experiencing others' insights and stories/spirits/lives, and need a pretense to do it. Kind of devious, tricking people into revealing themselves like that. But in the end, the joke is on both of us, I guess.

That mini-paragraph really struck me somehow, in a just-wow way. I can't even say why. So simple, says something meaningful... I don't know, but I really liked it a lot. I think that would be awesome to do.

For the record, happy wok workers are much more understandable than cheng hing workers. not that i've had bad experiences or anything.

Orgo coming out of one's ears sounds a might bit painful. My only version of this is realizing that I've smilingly sold my soul to the music department.

I love the assignment and your entry, though.
