tired but happy
my second time out playing tennis since being injured 7 months ago, and it felt sooo good. despite the occasional hitting out of the court, I was feeling the sweetspot, even on my (lately) erratic two-handed backhand. and it was lovely being out in the sun: but my cheeks are a bit pink now! after running around all day I … Read More
trip to taiwan
finally posted some pictures of taiwan…
camille
my roommate lent me this cd by the french singer, camille: le fil. the simplicity of her music is great, she does a lot of mixing of her singing (I love her voice), and she does this strange buzzing-hum thing that underlies the whole album–you don’t notice it except where she quietly goes in and out of her songs… apparently … Read More
various lotions
as I was limping around hong kong (with my bum achilles) over new year’s my mom wanted to go in this department store, so while I waited I took some pictures. “lipsexy essence – to clear eye bags and dark circles – buy one get one free – nipple cream – the nipple back to pink color – pearl cream”

arbitrary state power
Starting second paper, about 3 days behind, but just had to post this: I’m writing about Canadian security certificates and was reading a report by the Canadian Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-CAN) about Canadian security officials (read: CSIS) targeting Arab Muslims for “interrogation”.

my new verb: wikigoogle. or maybe wiki-oogle? wikoogle? how would I know anything if I couldn’t wikigoogle??
epiphany! epiphany!
I was starting to panic (as I have been daily) about wtf I am going to write 15 more pages about in my paper, but my unproductiveness was probably a sign from my brain that I needed to rest. During exams the law library closes at 11:45 pm, so I had to find somewhere else to work. (side note: regularly … Read More
