stressful grading

done with the grading..i'm too soft-harded. this stress will surely make me live shorter.
looking forward to istanbul nights.

stay together

Come to my house tonight
We can be together in the nuclear sky
And we will dance in the poison rain
And we can stay a while in heaven today
Let’s stay together
Let’s stay, these days are ours
Let’s die together?

today

i dreamt marcello giovanni was in istanbul, but there was also a coup d'etat. he was taking pictures and smiling all the time. but i was worried about the coup d'etat, and military was looking for me but we wanted to go to a place where we would be safe. we had to walk through a land filled with electric wires but marcello giovanni walks around the wires, and i say once again, "clever and always thinking of his comfort."

i can't explain how sad i am.

don't say me
remember me that i have to wake up early
who is him
where is him

december so far..

giovanni marcello is leaving. that's really sad.

martha my dear

Hold your hand out you silly girl see what you've done
When you find yourself in the thick of it
Help yourself to a bit of what is all around you
Silly girl.

Martha my dear you have always been my inspiration
Please
Be good to me Martha my love
Don't forget me Martha my dear.

exposed

i feel exposed. finishing papers does not cure the uneasiness of submitting my flaws for someone else to see.

talking about the revolution

yes it is subcommandante marcos himself on top of a roof in DC, documented by dadalo.

plato's forms after a couple of drinks

i know we should be writing papers, but...

de Landa is inspiring

when the computer screen becoma the surface contact between two machinic species, people and computers, it also became a poetntial trap for individuals: software hacking, as was discovered early on, is powerfully addictive. Computer screens can become "narcotic mirrors," trapping users by feeding them amplified images of their narcissistic selves.

Manuel de Landa, War in the Age of Intelligent Machines

time of the season

It's the time of the season
When the STRESS runs high
In this time, give it to me easy
And let me try
With pleasured hands

To WRITE DOWN and TO STAY CALM
Promised PAPERS
To WRITE EACH AND every one
It's the time of the season for WRITING

What's your TOPIC?
(What's your TOPIC?)
Who's your PROFESSOR?
(Who's your PROFESSOR? He EASY?)
Is he EASY like me?

Has he taken
(Has he taken)
Any time
(Any time to show)
To show you what you need to WRITE?
Tell it to me slowly
Tell you what?
I really want to know HOW TO WRITE
It's the time of the season for WRITING
