A Thousand Plateaus

did more stupid things : listened to the live version of suzanne’s “rock in this pocket – song of david” because i referred to it in the “american literature and religion” class. shouldn’t have done so because it immediately filled me up to the brim, the energy of the performance making me fantasies again how great full band live versions of 200 lurkers songs might be.

tonight i’m going to meet jodie and her roommate v. and we’ll watch “what’s up doc?” – which was v.’s idea. she (v.) acted weirdly towards me lately, trying to ask me out on dates which i successfully managed to avert. couldn’t really find an excuse for the video screening tonight, though. but jodie will be there, too, so it will hopefully not come to any awkward situations.

paula wrote a sparkingly happy mail the other day, describing almost manically how much she enjoys life right now. she ended with this line : i love you, p. in divine cologne and someday we will meet face to gorgeous face! until then we are unutterably alone!

see, i try so hard to express things and then i stumble over songs and they say it in a nutshell:

when a night city’s breeze blows across the room
and a 5am moon and sun start their swoon
you hear your lover’s breath
and not a moment too soon
you get to release all your emotions

and yes, that filtered backing voice is laurie anderson’s.
