Back At It
Sorry, I've only been on the internet intermittently these past few days. On Thursday I attempted to go to MOMA but one person said that I could not use my FIT Faculty ID to enter, then another person said it was fine, but said Lila's student ID was not acceptable.
Really?
MOMA consistently has the least informed and often angry staff. I've gotten into MOMA using my New School student ID, my FIT/SUNY ID, & both of my CUNY School faculty ID's & almost every time someone says "oh no we don't accept that," and then someone else says, "enjoy the exhibit." Does MOMA frustrate anyone else? I was actually planning taking my Intro to Lit class there to check out the Ensor's painting but now I won't even bother.
Friday Lila and I went to Brighton Beach and then on Saturday caught The Raveonettes and Built to Spill at the Siren Fest. I missed James Stobie's bday dinner so happy b-lated James! Yesterday, I caught some of Dirty Projectors. What I heard and occasionally saw was good.
Today, I'll show Ordinary People to my Lit class.
Right now, I'm going to eat some black eye pea salad but you should read this review of Craig Santos Perez's book. It's so good. I lent my copy to a friend and I hope she's enjoying it. Here's the review up on Jacket.

Last Day at last at last at last
I turned in my LaGuardia grades on Wednesday and handed in all my paperwork yesterday plus picked up my desk copy for Eng 102 so I'm completely done with Long Island City. Today is my last day at College of Staten Island. A few office visits and a half an hour to collect final papers. I'll submit grades on Monday then take a nice long break from ferry rides!
The timing couldn't be better as I have a ridiculous amount of reading piling up:
Barrow Street 10th Anniversary
Jubilat issue 15
Crayon Number 5 (which is massive & I've only read the Sawako piece)
Poets & Writers Jan/Feb 09 (but I don't read this cover to cover)
The Voyeur, a short story by Nicolette Wong
from Unincorporated Territory, by Craig Santos Perez
& then this is what I picked up from the library
B, a novel, by Jonathan Baumbach
Wake- Up Calls, 66 Morning poems by Wanda Phipps
The House that Jack Built, The Collected Lectures of Jack Spicer (I've been waiting over 6mths for this to come in)
The Bubble of American Supremacy, correcting the misuse of American power, by George Soros
Collected Books of Jack Spicer
Selected poems 1958-1984, by John Weiners
I've read a bunch of Spicer so I won't read the collected books from cover to cover & I've read very little of Weiners' work so I'll randomly flip through this book to see if anything grabs me. If there is a better single volume book by Weiners that I should read, please let me know. I'll read the morning poems in the morning & the novel will be my train, ferry, & before bed book.
