A crazy stressful week in London, but a success. I got a presentation on environmental economics vs. ecological economics over with, and while it was the least prepared I think I've ever been for a presentation, and the worst one I've probably ever given in my academic career, it wasn't an outright disaster. In any case, it's done.Stress two was the Newspaper. This week's theme was "comics," and as nobody was willing to write anything about that for the film section, I was left to my own devices. I went to the Of Montreal show on Thursday evening with my friend Susan, which meant I woke up Friday morning bleary-eyed and with a deadline 8-hours away.
And so, I emailed my friends Jordan & Ben for some advice, and they helped get the creative process going (I love you guys!). Then I got an email from the PartB editors saying they were turning the entire PartB into a comic book this week. That actually made things a lot easier, given my time constraints. I took some of the points J&B brought up, photographed some friends, matched the dialogue to the photos using Comic Life, and success!
Met some friends in Southwark later in the evening and we talked about life and love (and lack there of). Loneliness is interesting. It's amazing how absorbed we can get in our own loneliness, to the point where we often don't even realize that the people around us are feeling the same way. Me and you and everyone we know.
I don't understand love. It's so intangible, and yet it defines everything I am looking for, hoping for. I'm trying to concentrate on THINGS I love, because I don't see any other alternatives. I think if I keep walking my journey, keep fighting for things I find beautiful and meaningful and worth while, maybe I'll meet someone.
Maybe, baby.
