I feel too close to everything

I drank tea, woke up, talked to Terri for a long time instead of "being productive", translated a part of Jose Marti's "Nuestra America" (not fun, sucked the life force out of me), read about the geography of the middle east, and am now transcribing a lecture Dr. Batra recorded about Caribbean drama.
I am feeling so inspired!

I wanted to make a list of things I would like to do so that I don't forget. Here they are.
1. Have a story telling night. I once sat in a tipi with my classmates and told stories around a fire. I feel like the living room will do just fine.

2. Go to a play. Dr. Batra told me that in other parts of the world plays are often used as a medium to bring about social change. Here they are used more as a form of entertainment for those who can afford the ticket prices.

lol terri I guess "long time is relative". it was 30 minutes, but when I am in work mode, I think it is a long time.

art and bikes will happen as long as afterwards, stories will be told.
