i’m writing a letter to Leora right now. i’m going to enclose it with the DVDR I’m sending her today. if i can finish it before the post office closes, I’ll be in good shape. otherwise, i’m not doing much. i haven’t slept at all yet. i woke up at 18.00 last night. haven’t been back to sleep, and it’s about 15.20 as i write these words. the 24 hour mark is approaching, and I’m feeling the sleep deprivation.

well, i’m waiting for my laundry to dry upstairs. it’s 12 hours since i last wrote here (“i’m tryin’a stay awake but it’s been 58hrs since when i last slept with you….”), and well, i’m strangely wide awake. i did nothing for the most part tonight. me and ryan went to get some food (pizza, etc.) at the market, then i asked him if he wanted to watch a movie. i recommended The Big Lebowski, a perennial classic, and he agreed, so not long after we got back, we watched it. god, that movie’s hysterical. he thought it was just ‘ok’ — oh well. after that, I called Ash for a bit, because she really needed to talk (relationship/guy issues), and so I talked to her for probably 30-40mins or so while Ryan was playing FF2.

first order of business: if you all are acquainted with my Mexico trip and the journal I kept while I was there (and subsequently transcribed to Xanga), I have something interesting for you all. if you want to see it, here is a zip file of the scans of each page of my journal! or if you want to get each of them separately, click here.

well, ‘purest hell‘ was an apt title for my night. like the institution Mondays have become for me as of late, I ended up staying up all night working on homework. beforehand, however, I dicked around for quite awhile. The Blues Brothers and Super Troopers were both on TV at the same time, and me and Charlie were watching them for awhile. I fucking tell you, anyone who can make a movie with a fucking police chase through a crowded shopping mall deserves a motherfucking Nobel prize for hilarity. dear god I was laughing my ass off. I need to buy both movies. note: buy both aforementioned movies. anyways, on top of the regular homework (Cicero, Lysias, Aristophanes) was also a ‘structure assignment’ for Aristophanes, which actually meant scanning the metre of the lines and identifying it as well, in addition to writing a 2pg double-spaced response to three questions posed on the assignment sheet. a couple times while doing all of this, i sank into despair, wondered at the stars invisible so far above why I hadn’t done this homework earlier in the week, and then went back to work. the metre of the section we had to scan was impossibly strange — iambic tetrameter — something which I’ve had no experience with. give me dactylic hexameter, and I can easily puzzle it out, at least in Greek (Latin dactylic hexameter, while it has a lot of the same rules, is a little bit more difficult to pick up).

homework floods in, invading my tranquil sea of stars, mare tranquillum meum. i wish i could float in the beautiful night sky with all the lovely luminaries, but alas, i can’t. my first Classics assignment of the term due tomorrow, as well as translation for all classes. and it’s almost midnight. i’ve lost my light for tonight. the golden Muses smile upon me, though, I trust, and inspire me as I attempt to slog through Lysistrata, Lysias, and even a bit of Cicero in the next 12 hours.
i miss physical closeness, intimacy, i’ve realised. it is a disconcerting feeling to be alone again, really. mentally i’m alright — i don’t need anyone per se, like not in that sick, co-dependent way, but it sure is nice to have someone to hold or be held by. i try to surround myself with love, with friends who care about me, but at the same time, solitude is necessary. i end up seeing all sorts of girls who I wish I could be with, or at least get to know… everyone who knows me knows I’m somewhat girl-crazy. oh well. i’m taking it slow. loneliness and gloom seep in occasionally though, familiar yet not wholly hostile, and they are to be savored rather than rejected.
i just wish i’d done this homework over the course of the week — the Classics homework at least. basically it’s like every other sunday night / monday morning all-nighter. i’ll be around tomorrow, probably taking a nap after class though. *sigh*
~edit~: everyone check out cha’s blog at http://michacha.blogspot.com/. it promises to be dope!!

i really did have such high hopes for this weekend — thought I’d get some homework done at least. by the time friday was done, that flew out the window, although it was all worth it. all day sunday / monday morning is designated as ‘homework time’ for me now, but it’s alright. this weekend was one in a motherfucking million. after all, it’s not everyday that Cage comes to SF (or the west coast, for that matter), right? i do feel sublime, true to my title, albeit a bit tired from the day.
