i made a vague feint at doing my homework in the off hours. i think i'll do passably for wednesday's class, but thursday's is a wash. it's pretty pitiful.
i won a $20 gift card for b&n at work. i think i will order the third Montmorency with it.
so the kite thing i promised to post yesterday: it's very simple, really:
don't quote me on this because my memory is fuzzy, but i also believe that the word "kite" in Nahautl means both kite and butterfly ~ the butterfly being a symbol of rebirth, etc. (sort of in the way that literary creations are born out of the union between writer and audience).
anyway, fornes went on to discuss the dynamics of color ~ one adjacent to another ~ and the effect it creates. she also talked about style being a personal imprint, like a fingerprint: you don't choose it and no two are alike.
i spent a lot of time with fornes in dc and discovered she's mostly insane (how shattering it is to have your heroes be so fallible after all), and yet none of that changes the fact of what she's written, the impact she's had on the theatre, on writers like me (an impact which will continue). in many ways, despite her lunacy, i felt validated one-hundredfold by her absolute humanness, her insecurity, her jealousy, and the way in which she obstinately refused to see the world on other people's terms.
man, i'm talking about her like she's dead. hahahahahaha ~
tomorrow: NaNo.
gentlemen (and gentlewomen) start your engines!
vroooooom!

we fly kites to send a message by the patterns and dips. some people watch the kite to read the signal, some just watch the movement and the colors ~ because they think that's what it's all about.

~ and the poetry of it, which, dense or spare, creates amazing fresh images.
