lately...

Reading:  Seducing the Demon by Erica Jong and Sisters of the Yam by bell hooks.  I finished Soul City, but I want to reread it before I talk about it.

Writing:  nothing but this journal entry right about now

Eating:  Cheese sticks from some pizza place

Deciding:  To join Weight Watchers again after a long hiatus

I think I only added the Season 2 DVD set of Chappelle's Show so that I could watch two skits -- the one with Wayne brady that was like training day, and of course, I'm Rick James bitch.  I'm sending those back today so that I can get something else.

The major recurring theme in my life right now is truth.

From Erica Jong:

Language matters because whoever controls the words controls the conversation, because whoever controls the conversation controls its outcome, because whoever frames the debate has already won it, because telling the truth has become harder and harder to achieve in an America drowning in Orwellian Newspeak.
