Enough of the fucking death cult already. Human sacrifice, etc.

I will not see that movie.

I enjoy viewing my own life through the lens of anthropology.

One of the major purposes of marriage is the conspicuous (even swirling) circulation of wealth.

My students’ research paper topics: the motives of pharmaceutical companies, moving typography, satellite debris, moroccan henna, the stock market, and Maya Deren.

He should never have joined the army and blown off his leg.

In nicer weather now, an almost hysterical fondness for Brooklyn and its ethnic microcosms.

Less and less interest in “objectivity.”

The lovely thing about aphorisms is that one needn’t develop them.

I think I half agree

I think I half agree with Kari Edwards over at transdada that marriage is one of those “gross acts of non-questioning of an already bankrupt system….nothing more than a display of an over the top desire… to practice the rituals of the power elite,” and that we should “stop buying into the system…”

Marriage is not, frankly, something that I have fantasized all my life about — but rather something I shrank from (even as a child! * I remember one x-mas getting a madame alexander bride doll and promptly cutting off all her hair and changing her clothes so that she would be a little more multipurpose) with no small repugnance and looked down on from the catbird seat of my superior intellect and staunch bohemianism.

THAT BEING SAID, I am having a really amazingly entertaining time planning the celebration, to include *roses* and *bellydancers* and *epithalamions,* only a few of the myriad delights I am now brewing, and I think it’s an experience no one [NO ONE — are you reading this, ASSCROFT?] should be denied, should they for any reason want it.

*One of my favorite jokes as a child went thusly:

Love is blind.

Marriage is an institution.

Therefore, a happy marriage is an institution for the blind.
