( silent shout )
I have been hanging around aaron non-stop lately and it has been nothing but good. the past week we have watched videodrome on film at the uchicago theater. ate massive amounts of food and gin. sat giggling ourselves silly watching jersey shore and david lynch films I have never seen before (saw wild at heart and the straight story, both perfect.) these photos were taken by aaron (except for the one of him which was my first photo with a film camera.) we spent an afternoon at graceland cemetery, the oldest and largest one in chicago. the best part about graceland is the limestone monuments that are completely fading away and look like candlesticks and all the squirrels that run around. it is so interesting to walk by graves and realize that, "yes, that is the wacker that wacker drive is named after. and that is the kimbark that kimbark st. is named after." afterwards we went to eat at the swedish neighborhood of andersonville. the fun thing about andersonville is that along with all the old swedish folk, there are alot of young families and gay couples. it is the cutest and safest neighborhood in chicago without a doubt. now back to some regular schedule of work before classes start in over a week. I am getting so spoiled with being able to ride down to see aaron almost every day!
oh, and we watched the knife's dvd of one of their performances from their silent shout tour and it is INSANE. CHECK IT:

it will not stop snowing since you left. my feet slide on the ice, I have to lay my feet very slowly and solidly on the ground. I sleep for twelve hours trying to make time go by. I can not think clearly. the cold is fogging me up. I want to run outside with you, gin causing our blood to rest under the surface of our skin. laughing so hard that my inner warmth is clearly visible in the cold and that my head nearly aches. I can not wait to place my hands on the warm white flesh that barely covers your thin long bones. I am of the midwest and I belong in winter, but I can not think clearly without a warm bed and strong arms around my waist.
the dark frightens me, but if you were here it would thrill me. |

I am really happy that the wireless internet finally works in my parent's house. so while the snow continues to fall and I am stranded in the house, I at least able to talk to aaron in california and do shit like see what we would look like as old folk, a mucha painting, etc. (that face transformating generator is really hilarious if you have the time to dick around like I do.) yesterday I watched a very long marathon of six feet under on TV, drank a couple of mugs of yerba mate, and finished up my christmas presents. the streets have finally cleared so I can go explore the amazing highland park library and their ridiculous selection of criterion films. too good. I am currently working on a comic about all the sexual relations in my life and how they affect my anxiety disorder. it's turning out really good, my shame towards myself and my sexuality and my body is swiftly fading. I accidentally flashed my mother my bush last night (we were comparing tummies in the mirror and I was wearing PJ's and didn't realize how low I had pulled them down, it was very very funny.)
hey eva, how long are you going to be in vancouver/ what's your address there? I wanna mail you a much owed copy of the comic I just finished:
if anyone else wants a copy, it's $4 plus $2 shipping.
and, here's a bad photobooth picture of the christmas card I made aaron:

finally finished my final 21 page comic for my independent comic publishing class. enrolled for class next semester and am taking animation, a studio class taught by gladys nilsson (wife of jim nutt), an etching class and two art histories. it's a shame that all the interesting humanities and science classes always fill up so rapidly, I would like to wrap my brain around something not related to the art world. recently read skyscrapers of the midwest and it might be one of the best comics I have read this year apart from monsters by ken dahl.
I am embroidering my favorite sets of teeth onto hand-dyed old doilies for my final fibers project. those are my tooths.
I have basically living at aaron's place for the past couple of weeks. my hand can't leave his side.
I really love this quote: "children are not quite us & not quite other, they are our others or they are becoming other. they are at a dangerous point." |
