All our knowledge consisting, as I have said, in the view the mind has of its own ideas, which is the utmost light and greatest certainty, we with our faculties, and our way of knowledge are capable of, it may not be amiss, to consider a little the degrees of its evidence.

"Of the Degrees of our Knowledge" John Locke, An Essay Concerning Human Understanding

"Clouds in My coffee"

crumpled speck of humanity
rest, don't wait
for the universe to make sense.

My soul is torn by the confliction of truth.

a different hour

. . .
No doubt, too, at this moment
a snake is sunning itself in Calcutta
And somewhere a philosopher is erasing
"time's empty passing" because he's seen
a woman in a ravishing dress.
In a different hour he'll put it back.

From "Different Hours" by Stephen Dunn

Well, if everybody else is doing it. . . .

Your Stipper Song Is

Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard "Love is like a bomb, baby, c'mon get it on Livin' like a lover with a radar phone Lookin' like a tramp, like a video vamp Demolition woman, can I be your man?" Break out the baby oil, you rock it old school.

What Song Should You Strip To?

Disappointment

Well, I'm not going to the film festival today after all. :( And no, it's not because I am too sick to go. It's not all bad though, I suppose, because the film I wanted to see most sold out over the night. There is one that I would really like to see, Malas Temporadas but it's showing at slightly inconvenient times so I really doubt that anyone would want to go. Thursday at 8pm and Friday at 1:30pm.

2006 Palm Springs International Film Festival

Tomorrow, my healthy permitting, I'm heading out to Palm Springs for the film festival. I haven't decided yet which film I will see but thus far Sex and Philosophy , Requiem of Snow and Avenge but One of My Two Eyes have caught my attention.
Any suggestions?
