Lauren Berlant is a talking head in the doc I am scoring and her interviews are so fascinating that I took a break to read some snippets of "Cruel Optimism"
― flamboyant goon tie included, Sunday, 27 January 2019 21:48 (five years ago) link
Berlant is cool; I’m pretty sure I read a chapter of Cruel Optimism for a class once. Her (older) essay on the Lisa goes to Washington episode of The Simpsons is great.

My boyf and I have been dating for 8 months or so and I still cannot believe how hot and smart and cool he is and that someone as awesome as him also finds me hot and awesome??? It's like two people who feel out of each others leagues. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of house and disco, a huge Gengoroh Tagame tattoo on his thigh, 4 cats, and a position as executive director of Boston's lgbt film festival, who IS this person???

I had a nightmare last night about my ex-bf yelling at me, and I woke up and it was 4:45am, so I walked down to the 24/7 to buy a stupid kombucha (it's a good sleep aid, oddly). I walked by an early-riser whose car was stuck in a snowdrift and I stopped to help him shovel and push. It took about 12 minutes and we were successful, he offered to buy me breakfast but I declined. I went on to the store and bought the stupid kombucha and walked back in the snowy night with frozen fingers. I washed my face and applied a moisturizer by a company whose former CEO killed himself a couple weeks ago. I got into bed and my boyfriend asked me what was wrong and I told him about the nightmare and cried a little. He drew me in close and told me he loved me more than anything else in the world. I went back to sleep for a few hours and then got up and made scrambled eggs, back bacon, sliced tomatoes and rye toast. My back yard is 3-feet deep in show and I enjoyed watching my dog struggle to navigate it while she was doing her morning pee. When she came inside, I sang to her, "Audrey you're a young dog, good dog, playing in the yard, gonna be a big dog someday / you got snow on your face, big disgrace, wagging your tail all over the place / we will, we will walk you". Then I got some e-mails from clients asking for revisions and I am waiting for phone calls with further instructions. I am listening to Morton Feldman's 2nd String Quartet (again, it's been on repeat the last few days).

I love it! I improvised dog-related song parodies all the time, the ones that have stuck in our house being those based on Sheila E's "Holly Rock" and the "Marty Moose" song from National Lampoon's Vacation.
In gayer news, I recorded Querelle from TCM the other night and am both excited and slightly nervous to watch.

I should use a moisturizer, I'm 31 and people often guess mid to late 20s so I guess I have decent skin so far in life and I'd like to maintain that? Should I get an SPF facial moisturizer?

I did well on the test (I think) but no one from the actual university press was available that day after the HR person. So I'm waiting for a second call.
I do chatrooms at my gig job, but I clearly don't give a shit.
