I'm sitting under eight menacing paper hearts which I hung from our ceiling because I figured it would be a good way to fulfill my Valentine responsibilities. The intended impact was a room fluttering with a kind of lacey, helpless, Victorian love, the whole roof sighing and rustling its skirts. Unfortunately, I could only reach a small patch of ceiling so the effect is more of some swelling disease; a tumorous thatch. We have consumption of the crown and are coughing up paper and ribbons.
In the meantime we continue to have ants, symbolic of all kinds of things depending on what I need symbolized on any given day. Today I'm going with the march of feminist progress, what with my Virginia Woolf readings--or Woolf if you like but I still cannot do it--riling me up. I feel like I should be scolding men on the street for infringing on my personhood. That's not what Woolf meant--that's not what the ants mean either--but that's where I am today. Anyway, how far have we progressed if I'm still hanging swoony Victorian submission from the ceiling?

Tonight I encountered the Gene Wood clone. He works at Hollywood video & talked about the A.I. of Resident Evil 4. When I left the store Ray Doan said, "I think Clark Wood has another child."

i have ants today at work. they are all over my keyboard. i think it symbolizes that i should go home and leave the ants the territory they have claimed. or i could just spray them dead.
oh man. now it's smelly. i should go home until it airs out. in a week. maybe two.

oh man, i just realized that i killed the march of feminist progress.
or, alternately, i liberated them from the shackles of their gender inequality and the delusions under which they operate.
with smelly, smelly death.

oh dood, i just realized that i used the phrase, 'oh man' in both of those previous posts. how lame.
not only is my raid killing the march of feminist progress, but also my horrid collusion with gendered nouns.
