ponies, ponies, ponies!Today: brainstorming ideas

ponies, ponies, ponies!

Today: brainstorming ideas for long paper. Reading mind-cracking crap about modernism vs. postmodernism. Still can't figure out why the fuck all the critics (those that deign to mention her) call J. de I. postmodern. Wrote more rambling crap for other long paper on RPGs and collaboration. Bakhtin? Wrapping mind around heteroglossia. Err.

Then off to the pony farm. Led pony + M. around ring many times. Conversations about piles of poop. M. spent most of the time on the crappy playground, making me regret the 18 bucks I spent for the buffet of ponies. Rode crappy train with entertainingly lying conductor "and to our left you will see some fossil horses, 6 million years old. This train is the oldest in the U.S.!"

To the game store. Bought enticingly non-busty elf warrior girl figurines to paint. L. had to ruin for me when I got home by reminding me that they will NOT look how I picture them because it is fucking hard to paint anything nice looking. Tactfully, she did not remind me directly of how awful I did when I tried to do a watercolor of 2 apples and M. said they were oranges. Hrmph. I will get him back someday.

My little lead-free pewter figurines will the the BEST at the Goblin King's Fantasy Ball. Orange or no orange!

Doing that watercolor was still fun because I felt that I saw the shiny wooden bowl and the fruit so clearly and they were so beautiful. I was in love with them and desperately wanted to prove my love to them by painting them beautifully. Alas. Fortunately this type of vision also works with poetry.

Did not finish moving compost heap to back of house.

Binders, poetry, translations still horribly disorganized.

Off to game land, ham, bunnies, at J.'s house and then to Barbershop of Poets!

p.s. Idiotically wrote some kind of wild sounding fan letter to W. K. who kindly sent me Canaima out of the blue. Why, why, why, do I write emails at 12:30 in the morning? I don't remember what I said, but it was probably retarded and arrogant both at once.
