And it's Friday.........
It's been a strange couple of days. Ai-ya-ya.
I realized that I used to write a lot more coherently when I was writing weekly emails to friends and family in TW--back then I had more time (wasn't really working at work) and the energy to put different things into story forms as a way to construct my memories and sharing. That was nice. These days, don't you think my way of expressing myself seems a bit chopped up and fragmented?
Anyhow. We do the best we can.
So, lets get down to the nitty gritties--what has been going on lately? I have been doing a lot of research on domestic violence, and how this human phenomenon manifests in various populations. Of course, I resonate much more with those are already margalized and diminished. Found some interesting facts on instituationalized homophobia and institutionalized racism--and it's interesting to contemplate how individuals might internalize these notions and how the then-altered self-image factors into the cycle of violence in intimate relationships. I don't have it all together yet, but hopefully I will be able to make some sense with my presentation next Wednesday. I do enjoy thinking about these broader social issues and how that translate to you and me and this everyday life.
I have also been watching a lot of TV. My favorite shows: Law and Order, Law and Order/Criminal Intent, Law and Order/Special Victims Unit, Judging Amy, Wide Angle, CSI:crime scene investigations, (both Miami and Las Vegas). That's about it. These shows I like to watch whenever I catch them. I sometimes watch The Practice, too, but not often. I definitely lean towards shows that pertain to the criminal justice system or social welfare organizations.
Well, what else has been going on? Nothing much, the necessary things that we do to maintain our civilized lives--you know, grocery shopping, oil changes, taking out that trash, budgeting, calling the dentist, calling student health, laundry.......the ordinary thieves of time, these things. I haven't done yoga in a while, gotta get back. Therapy continues, and I went today, too. We talked about a gradual termination--perhaps in another eight months.
Oh, I did spend a lot of time on the phone as well--folks are so nice once they found out that I am going back to TW in Dec. So, gonna get together with a few folks soon. I had brunch with Carole and Johanna last Sunday, and it was beautiful.
That's about it. I ate french fries today!
