Talking Heads “Pull Up The Roots” from Speaking In Tongues. God, SO GOOD. It is totally making me bounce around in my chair as I finish my Process Notes/Artist’s Statement* for my “Mad Girls Bad Girls” (a class) Final Project** for skool*** this semester.

*Which, by the way, are the most intensive & detailed process notes I think I’ve ever written about anything. Apparently I haz a lot to say about this work? This is good!

**AKA: New & tentative & foetal chapters of my new manuscript, The Record (!).

***I am starting a new tag in this blog for when I write about skool: ACADEMONIA****, a la Dodie Bellamy, who is both one of my favorite writers & one of my favorite profs.

****Yeah, so, there are things that can be annoying about skool & about academia, and I am so Finals Fried. But for the most part? I love every single thing I’m doing and I love my graduate program. SF State is a good place for me & has been really good to me.
