1) now working with art corps seattle.
2) introduced figurative language to students @ seattle urban academy.
3) among other things, had students deconstruct nelly's "tip drill" for the gang rape metaphor that it is. one of the male teachers walked in and commented that he thought "tip drill" was a metaphor for a promiscuous woman.
4) met with alex red to begin planning word medicine tour for fall.
5) went to hugo house to see rajnii eddins, black genius, and the legendary jack mcCarthy feature.
6) reading "pathologies of power" by paul farmer (hard and sad) .
7) reading "my mother's body" poems by marge piercy (AMAZING!)
8) still completely exhausted from weekend of travelling back/forth to portland to lecture/perform.
9) did i tell you the young women in the black feminist/womanist class @ portland state university didn't know that the clit is the center of women's orgasm and that the vagina itself has virtually no nerve endings? that they thought they were weird because they didn't enjoy intercourse? (what kind of crazy and wicked world is this?)
10) teatro del fuego was the hotshit! not just saying that cos i featured...
11) must get to libary tomorrow to return oryx and crake by margaret atwood (i love women's sci-fi but why is it so depressing?) and some other book i can't remember the title of cos i'm too tired....
12) aaron mcgruder is the funniest man alive.

passion is not enough. i must become a better writer.
