something inherently monstrous about it all
I am doing an essay on Monster Culture…which was decidedly the most difficult of the three I had to choose from, not only from the class perspective but admittedly the opinion of the professor as well. That’s ok–it was the only article in the series of articles that had any resonance with me whatsoever. I have to write a paper and incorporate the ideas that it promotes, examining them further. It is therefore called the “Lens essay”. I had some ideas which might have been a little less than comfortable to talk about in class, but that might be the point. I have been stretching beyond the borders of my own comfort levels which is exactly why I am at Columbia at all.
My student aid is still not in, something which annoys the %$&#!!!! out of me since I turned everything in on the day that I received it. I want to buy a snazzy computer with it, a sleek little macbook which will be my sexy new friend. Who needs friends when you have your macbook? Not I! No, but actually the video chat and the most delicious graphics grabbed me and pulled me head on into making it my new purchase. I have never paid for anything with that amount of money, but that’s the way to cookie must crumble for now. Plus, I need good graphics and programs for my own little projects…from the film and screenplay stuff to my website building which I would finally have it all for.
My head is itchy. My scalp, rather. It’s a far cry from the grease generator of the summertime…but I heard that summer wasn’t over yet…not yet.
I am going to be three decades plus one soon. And look at my little ass rock. Though my ass is certainly not as little as it once was, I am still a fucking ROCKSTAR.
Love ya, love me, love the wo-wo’s, love FrAnCine and all of my friends.
Bye tootsie-ta-tas.
You and your sexy ass will rock in 31, I’m sure. 🙂
A suggestion- you can buy RAM for your computer for cheaper than what you can get through Apple. It’s one of the ways they make extra money. If you’re prepared to do some research and do a little installation (which isn’t that hard, or you can have a friend do it for you), you can save some serious dough.
And don’t be afraid to get a refurbished Mac. They’re just as good, but a few hundred less than a brand new one. 🙂
I love you, Francis!

This is the best sentence ever. Hahaha…
Have you gotten a copy of Junot Diaz’s new book yet? I started reading it today, Francis, and it ROCKS. I am excited to talk about it with you.
All Love,

XOXO
I’ve considered switching from a pc to a mac, just don’t have the money for it right now.
I’m four decades plus one and I rock, *jumps up playing air guitar*, but then again I have been called unstable from time to time as well, LOL!
Can we love the shooby-doo-wops too? 😉
Your crane dress was gorrrrrgeous by the way.
You so deserve a sexy macbook. I know you’ll kick rockstar ass using it and working on these papers as well…
I’m really glad you’re doing this because you just sound so happy.
Do share some excerpts from some of your stuff as the semesters roll by. I’d love to experience your writing some more.
haha
Of course! We can love everything!
Hello crane dress. I just got it yesterday. It was SICK, might I add. I put it on for E, and modeled it, and he liked it so much he wasn’t mad at me for spending money on it. Which is bizarre because he gets mad at me ALWAYS for buying any piece of clothing. He said it was a beautiful dress, which is bizarre because he never says stuff like that.
YAY! I cannot wait for the macbook but they are still piddling with my financial aid. I should get it by the end of next week at the latest.
I will share my papers fo’ sure. I am writing one on adultery and using Fatal Attraction as my model. That one should be inna-resting, provided I don’t get pissy and switch subjects (which I have done 15 times already).
…so what’s the inside Word or murmur on campus about Ahmadinejad’s visit? How are students reacting to what the Columbia Pres. said to him? I’m just really curious to see what students there are saying and feel about what transpired.
