Interesting Things
On Friday I will be leaving for a week’s worth of solitude in Maine. Not complete solitude, as I will be accompanied by most of my immediate family. But we will be on an island in Thee Middle Of Nowhere, without electricity. But before that there will be a series of irritating bureaucratic things to take care of. Like jury duty, a visit to the DMV, and the financial aid office of my school. I’m preparing my ass for a lot of sitting around and my patience for waiting.
There are some things this week that look interesting, though. Like Naomi Klein speaking at a local Barnes & Noble on the topic of her recent book The Shock Doctrine, which I posted about maybe a week ago.
Then there’s a Kombucha class at Brooklyn Kitchen. That stuff is so expensive and delicious that it would probably be wise to learn how to make my own, even if I am a little nervous about, like, contaminating the flora in my guts with carelessness.
As I sit here compiling this information, the soothing strains of mariah carey are wafting in through my living room window. or is that audible effluvia from newton creek? ah, synesthesia.
