wow. so i've officially been horrible at updating during march with a grand spanking total of 3 (4 with this one) posts. i will have to blame midterms and spring break the first of which sucked so much i didn't feel like writing and the second of which has been so relaxing that i've been staring at screens other than my computer's (a nice change of pace - TVs, movies, video games, all kinds of good stuff like that). in any case, will be back to school next weekend which i sort of look forward to and sort of don't want to come. looking forward to because i miss my college friends but not looking forward to because i don't like my classes enough and part of me feels guilty for that and then because i don't like them as much i don't work as hard as i probably could and part of me feels guilty for that too. also, i have lots of work to do before i go back that i don't want to do...
this past weekend i took some time off from spring breaking at home to travel down to hartford, ct to participate in the SOAR conference aka society organized against racism (in new england higher education) which was pretty interesting although much better at talking about stuff than actually coming up with anything about what to do about it or how to think about what's going on. some interesting speakers from the 60s, including charles mcdew who started SNCC. maybe i'll write more thoughts on that later, or put up some of my notes from the conference.

alvin lau
just saw slam poet alvin lau and was reminded how great poetry and spoken word are for laughter and meaning and back in split seconds. how it stays with you even after the perfomance is over.
