cada vez
Something in the air is making my head a lot more clear than it has been in a while--and that's not just because everyone is wearing a third of the clothing they were about three weeks ago (although that is quite the bonus). There is something about spring and summer, even fall, that seems to add electrons to the atmosphere. I'm super pumped about nearly everything, except school work. But! I do have phatty paper topics so I'm actually interested in doing them, believe it or not.
The first: looking at the films of Tomas Gutierrez Alea and seeing if auteur theory really does apply and the portrayal of both women and gays throughout the Revolution.
The second: a close examination of the "tragic mulatto" in Faulkner's Light in August and in Absalom, Absalom! compared to the representation of the same figure in popular media, along with academia from the time of Faulkner's career. This means that I'll finally watch Pinky. Unfortunately, I may have to watch The Birth of a Nation, which makes my blood boil any time I see it--did you know the KKK would probably still be dead if that movie was never made? It had been dormant since 1871 and then someone who became obsessed with the film and reviving it. Not to say that another group wouldn't have created itself and come back into play.
The more I think about what I've planned for the future, the more right it feels. Also--the weather has made me decide that I will never again live in a cold region of the world. Maybe if I know it's super-temporary or... I'm not sure. There'd have to be something very, very important to get me to live in a cold region.
I'm not sure why, but I've been jonesin' to do some gymnastic-like things, which I would probably kill myself doing since it's been years. So perhaps I'll lay off it.
Regarding the strike that I've been on--I think it's time to come off of it. Of course, that would only be a very selective thing. Beyond this whole thing, I've been considering stopping with a lot of the vices that I perhaps indulge in. Like smoking and drinking and eating shitty food. I think I might go for it. With the drinking, maybe not stop completely, but only drinking selective things. And no more pop. I started drinking that again maybe once a week and just ick. Food-wise, I'm considering no more meat. I've already cut out beef since I can't bring myself to eat American beef anymore.
Drink more water, eat more veggies and fruits, go running more often, read a lot more, write all the time, enjoy the sunshine.
Hopefully, I'll be able to spend more time with the dog this summer. That will make life more enjoyable.
Time for sleep.
