Why? Let's go chronologically.
1. Good chat with a professor on the street after a SD tutorial. Theology prof who tried to shift all blame for viewing the environment as inferior from genesis to the enlightenment, but it felt like university!
2. Edited and finished my Philosophy essay, worked on my SD one, and watched a movie.
3. Went and saw a school production of The Last Five Years. Not the most amazingly done, but very competently, and it is a FUCKING good play. An hour and a half musical, with two people, about their relationship. The woman moves backward in time, from their breakup to first meeting, while the man moves forward in time. Hilarious, heartbreaking writing and music.
4. An awesome e-mail from William
5. A really good rehearsal after dinner.
6. Learning that I GOT THE SCHOLARSHIP FOR COSTA RICA! Won't know how much or any specifics until the 28th, but still, wooo! Also got an e-mail from the Australian couchsurfer who'll be here this next week and he sounds awesome.
7. Fight club.
That is all.

Soft Night
silent graffiti
sprawling words stretched out on cream pink walls
spattered from on high by the seagulls
that freewheeled and caw-cawed through aharsh pink sky
still graffiti
a motionless oasis
in violence, silent. calm,
but eagerly longing for discovery:
notice me!
here! I am out of place
no whitewashed walls
a monument TO MAN’S INGENUITY
no pyramids of the metropolis
only the loving work of boys
somewhere between testament and confession
they who posses nothing
but are the property of adults
spray themselves out on other adult property
this is mine! until the paint
is covered by another layer
dogs piss at a fire hydrant
silent graffiti
crackling ground under Nikes
and from
far off
the whirr of sirens.

Excellent stuff, Brian. Congrats!
Sounds like all the ingredients for a great day! Be sure to remember it on those days that don't go so well. A good memory make a good tonic.
Wall--Where do you come up with some of these sayings? A good memory makes a good tonic? That sounds like something even my grandmother wouldn't have said! (Just making fun of you!)
Hi Brian. I have two new PC’s (office & home) so can now comment. Admire your eating choices in Spain. Fully agree. Makes me hungry. Keep exploring; of course with eyes wide open and facilities intact. Grandpa Paul (GP)
Such language! Not a good sign.Once I started down that scatalogicaly (sp) slippery slope, I never stopped. Miss Manners says, "You're Doomed!". Oh! I disagree with your Dad. Memory is a MUCH overrated faculty!
