Briefs

My application goes out next week after a month of preparation. Finally. Nothing left to do but sit back and hope for the best.

Just finished reading The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz and was floored by it; the narration, the story, the language (which alternated between English, Spanish, Spanglish, ghetto, and geek, sometimes in the course of one paragraph), the characters, the history lesson. Everything about it was well done. Yes it was hyped. Yes, everyone has read it. Yes, it won the Pulitzer as well as a handful of other prizes. But this one was definitely worth it.

Saw Misery Signals last week in a gymnasium. One of the best shows I've been to in a long time (probably since I've only been to two in the last two years). I'll put up some side stage monochrome pictures at a later date.

I can't believe the semester is almost over. I'll be back home before I know it. Does anyone want to hire me for the summer?
