TASP 2003 at UT Austin: The Mystery of Creativity



reasonably remarkable

tonight, i am craving a very specific dessert: fat-free sugar-free strawberry ice cream with individually packaged oreos. sigh.

i wrote a very long blog entry before but my computer ate it. that's probably for the best. i saw they might be giants on tuesday (in a manner of speaking). i cut off 12 inches of my hair; i like it, i'm much cuter now, in a velma-from-scooby-doo kind of way. i'm going tomorrow to santa fe to visit st. john's, which i have this huge fantasy of being this lovely tasp-ish retreat in the mountains and will most certainly be disappointed. i printed out the hemingway, the wordsworth, and the article on kafka to read on the plane, on top of the assigned bible reading for the st. john's seminar - goddamn, this blog gives more homework than my english class.

natashia has kissing disease, heeheehee. i could tease for much longer, but i'm feeling merciful. i hope you recover speedily, darling, although poetry-reading dehabilitation doesn't sound so bad to me right now. welcome to the blog, dr. chapelle - blog is slang for web log, but beyond that i don't think anyone's pinned down a widely accepted definition yet. now we just need to get jared, mónica, and dr. randall to post. also i believe matthew needs to hit this, as well.

i think every blog entry should end with a question, so all you stalkers out there who are reading but not posting have an excuse to write a post for everyone to enjoy. of course, having said that, i don't actually have one. perhaps you lurkers could un-lurk by positing a good question for us all? anyone?
