I HEART GOLDSTONE!!

Goldstone just released a UN Report about Israeli war crimes during an attack on Gaza.  Israeli government has called Goldstone a traitor and claims there is nothing to investigate...they did not purposefully bomb civilians.  It is good to see a devote Jew standing up for JUSTICE.  Here's one of the only reports I could find...an interview with Goldstone on Al Jazeera.

Happy 5770!

julia et al's videos came out last night. daybued at the debonair social club on their 6 projector screens from 9pm-11pm. I invited a bunch of friends that Julia and I share...people who also happen to be artists and want to support art openings and see what's playing in new spaces. The Debonair is a place we'd never go to, unless expressly invited for some un-dsc type event. I think it's where people go when they want to feel dressed up and classey or maybe a better way of putting it is sexy and expensive.

Nick and I haven't been doing to well. I'm stressed out by the idea of Julia moving out and never seeing her and Nick moving in and only seeing him. Nick's stressed because winter is fast approaching and he's about to loose his bike job...he's trying hard to get a new job...writing tons of cover letters and getting no where. It's very discouraging.

Last night while in the club i guess he gave some women the EYE. I know the eye b/c he's given it to me. it's like beams of magnet rays coming from all three of his eyes and his chest opens up and you get the feeling his ribs want to eat you. As one friend said it, "he projected Sex, sometimes you can't help it." Any way, before the girl who Nick gave the eye left, she came up to our table and whispered in his ear...this small girl with a cute

dress and long long curly brown hair, asking if he wanted to leave with her right then. I was right there and I'm pretty sure he smiled and shook his head.

Oh my god I want to rip that girl's hair out as I imagine her again and again walking away from our table after propositioning nick and walking out the door, with each shake of her tiny hips saying 'it's your loss to the beams that were still coming out of nick'. It also makes me want to break up with nick, have more time to myself for actually getting a hair cut and buying clothes that look good (as opposed to the same stuff from 4 years ago)...yeah...dressing up and not feeling like I look like a tired elementary school teacher at a bar. Tired of feeling completely unattractive.

Let's See Redmoon -Early September

head weather change

everyone I know has a headache.  Chicago's slight change of weather means the pressure is too much for us to bare.  Our brains are crumpling in.  How I hate the seasons.  All I do in life is fight change and here's mother nature forcing it in my face with bold temps and moistness.

The Chicago Tribune--a review

I've been getting the Chicago Tribune delivered daily to my door since Christmas (thanks Mom). People LOVE to talk trash about the Trib and what a crap-tastick paper it is...how it used to be good, etc. One woman went on strike, wrote them a condescending letter as she canceled her subscription to a newspaper she thought had turned to drivel...which reminds me of my great aunt who complained horribly when the New Yorker Magazine started having fiction that featured sex, and then gasp, when they put ads in the paper. Maybe because of my age and fact that I've been raised in a culture/come to expect everything covered in a thin veil of sex and/or product advertisement.

At one dinner party (not that I go to many dinner parties, but this is the kind of thing you're supposed to say at such events) an arrogant liberal yatcher began to wax on the weakness of the Trib; joking that their headlines read something like: Fall Hats! Where to Find Cheap Hats. He then proceeded to say that Philadelphia's newspaper was by far superior.

"well then go back to Philadelphia!" I wanted to yell as I pushed him, "I enjoy articles on where to buy hats!"

I do like getting the newspaper...and I hate having to be embarrassed that my favorite sections are often termed "style" or as my Dad once told me on one sad Sunday morning with the Washington Post, "They used to call that, the Woman's Section"

Damn, they got me again; just like when I get a free moment alone with a cable television and remote and find myself drifted to the Oxygen channel. When the little station tag pops up I want to kick myself...woman stuff is inherently lame...I must fight my natural lameness/womaness.

Woa! Where did that come from? woman=lame

Probably a couple of waves: patriarchy, followed by sexism, followed by reactionary sexism (aka feminism).

I don't have my writing muscles strong enough to tackle this topic further. So I will go to what is much easier, a review of others reviews/cutting&pasting.
