TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable



Wednesday, September 24, 2003
I am for you what you want me to be the moment you look at me in a way you've never seen me before: at every instant.

y'all can say whatever you want about cixous; that quote kicks my ass, and yours too.

i bring it up because i'm currently writing a history paper comparing "the laugh of the medusa" to a gnostic gospel and an english paper doing a lacanian reading of heart of darkness then critiquing both lacan and conrad. i think this just proves how much i want to be tara (or dr. chapelle).

i'm clinging so hard to our readings because 1) i haven't really read anything before or since and 2) i miss y'all like a motha. susan, i think there were a lot of ridiculous and sublime things that occurred at tasp, most of which aren't appropriate for a college essay or a public blog. made me nostalgiac for suite 2-0-whatever-we-were....anyone else up for a maxipad phone conference? me & tara & aimee are pretty much in the same time zone (well, close enough), but i bet if we picked a date we could all get our asses on the phone - and my cell phone has free long distance! let me know, chickies....

but hmm, some college appropriate things - how about discussing "tart reform" with dr. foley? or trying to lure jacob away from his work with the monster mash? anything robot or yablon related...those freaking godawful puns...ddr, although that goes without saying...probably the only literary occurence of a toga in the adpi house...that one sunday night where we dressed up fancy for goulash (please sir, i want some more)...frequent trips to the toy store....the flea infestation...the state of me and aimee's room (messy rooms=busy minds...right? right, guys?)...adrian & jared sleeping together the first night...adam giangkowski...the smell of kim chee...eastside vs. jew crew...and, of course, my favorite tasp memory (and probably the least college-appropriate): the intro to jacob's pubspeak.

oh yeah - alex yablon tipped me off to our sexy faces gracing the tasp website (one step away from the brochure, baby). there's a very adrian-centric shot here (aren't adrian & adam like THE multicultural gay couple in this shot?), a contemplative aimee here, and - the topper - bryan and tae-yeoun looking studious as hell. on the first TASP page, no less - score one for the asian invasion (damn.) okay, shaddup already, kelsey.
