November 29, Hyde Park, Chicago: Morning, Noon, and Night

Symptom: you realize that you can't help the way you think, or look, or notice.
Cure: it is what it is. Holiday party. No costumes necessary.
Bonus outsider input: "You are a genius to the extent that you are able to challenge the sociohistorical conditions of your identity." Kristeva

Que pense-t-elle?

Symptom: official proposals will be written, dossiers will be composed, and all tasks will be accomplished, wrapped neatly.

Hands across America

Symptom: tonight you are tired and speechless. Snap.
Cure: clapping vigorously will at times help the driver avoid a collision.

Family puzzles and the Astral breast

Clearly: moon-bows are spectacular and above all rare.
Absolutely: the same goes for cousins.

Say no more

Symptom: thanksgiving decorations must be passé: you have not seen one cardboard turkey, there is a paucity of gourds, the color combination of orange, brown, and yellow is no where to be seen. Additionally, at a recent dinner party, you realized that the generation behind you no longer knows what a "dunce cap" is, much less what it looks like.

Cure: Chicago--St. Paul, MN--Crystal, ND--St. Paul, MN--Chicago: be thankful. Be a pilgrim. Avoid dunces. Embrace doors.

Hieroglyph

Symptomathon question: if there exists a DVD bible, does spending 14 semi-productive hours in front of your computer transform your sinful traces into a collection of sparkly accoutrements? Do I come off like my grandmother's best friend?

She's a burger, she's a bee, she's a bounty

Symptom: when you were 10, your mother forbade you from dressing up as the half-man/half-woman---the line right down the face, make-up and mustache. You then had to simply opt for the 100% Lone Ranger. White jeans, a mask, and a mustache.
Cure: carefully study re-framing practices. Recall that things are still telling. Continue removing your mustache.
