Beginning an entry with "should" is not productive. I should be writing an essay about the move between silence and speech right now. I'm not. I should be patching multiple voices together so they make something beautiful

i need to get my ass in gear about going to grad school.

i also need to start knitting for this season.

What are you going to apply for? Tell me more! Also, I wish I could knit!

i'm going for photography, but i don't know where i'm going to apply. i had this plan for years, then got lazy and unmotivated and tried to convince myself i could be perfectly happy spending the rest of my life working a shit job, running from debt collectors, and drinking beer at punk shows. just recently i had to admit that i should probably set my sights a bit higher. so now i'm going to get serious.

Fair enough. I think time spent doing both of those things is valuable. Graduate school has been an amazing change for me, so far. Where are you thinking about applying?

a friend uses the following statement as a sort of ever-appropriate comment, when she can't think of anything else to say -- sort of the way non-academics use 'that's what she said!'

'Foucault speaks to that!'

Cracking up...now who are you, mystery LJ friend?

sorry.

[oatmeal]

that was me. I have no idea why I was logged out.

But I'm sure Foucault speaks to that.
