back in austin, but lubbock stole my soul

lack of updates means i’ve been unreasonably busy lately. the wrath of lubbock lives on, but i’ve been dispelling of it slowly in the form of mucus. the cold cleared up fast once i got back — seems i’m just allergic to lubbock. but there’s still dust on my shoes and and a roll of undeveloped film to reckon with.

lubbock says: “it’s not over yet”.

i’ve been trying to catch up with school but this move has me quite distracted. i have barely packed. but the homework’s due on thurs… but the packing… but the homework… i’m running around in circles.

jason and i used to find ourselves pulling many late nights due to our mutual agreement that it’s better to stay up a little late and have some quality time with friends than be responsible and skip out on those precious moments we two can share. regarding late night panic sessions to finish up work, we always said: “it all gets done.”

and we’ve never been wrong.

so i have faith in that religion, and tomorrow night i shall be sharing some of said moments with my pal, jiggy dave: one last stand before he moves to boston.

so many changes… so when will the season change and settle on crisp, cozy-coat worthy weather?

of note: last sunday was my last chance to see the andy warhol exhibit at the austin museum of art. one of the first prints on display was an edition of the above image. they also had some great pieces from andy warhol’s sunset series, as well as the famous Campbell soup cans. it was my first time at the museum, and it was quite small — i think the exhibit was the only thing on display. nevertheless, it was pretty cool and i’m glad i went.

I love people. Everybody. I love them, I think, as a stamp collector loves his collection. Every story, every incident, every bit of conversation is raw material for me. My love’s not impersonal yet not wholly subjective either. I would like to be everyone, a cripple, a dying man, a whore, and then come back to write about my thoughts, my emotions, as that person. But I am not omniscient. I have to live my life, and it is the only one I’ll ever have. And you cannot regard your own life with objective curiosity all the time ..
