Funny how spring makes us revisit old textbooks--I ended up bringing back my old AP Lit textbook from high school, if only so I could read "The Lighters" by Rennie McQuilkin whenever I wanted to. <br /><br />Having quite the right words is a serious challenge for me, most days, too--and keeping them in the right order when I try to speak, even moreso. :D So I commiserate, and you should be very proud of those biscotti, because they look delicious.arhttp://ar.dreamwidth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679636659450802233.post-14469916309354582892011-03-19T22:31:21.451-05:002011-03-19T22:31:21.451-05:00This is a cute outfit.

(Santa Fe and Las Vegas, respectively, though when I was in Vegas, we drove all over the countryside, out where there was nothing but mountains and scrub and a too-hot sun. Nevada in July is better than you'd think.) Sometimes (particularly during a long, washed-out winter) the colours just seem brighter, more intense; the jewelry's certainly prettier. And the people are undeniably larger than life--there's a theme that runs through most of our knowledge of the Old West that appeals to me hugely, the concept of mythologizing living and breathing people, people who oftentimes didn't want to be made into more than a man or woman. The sound of the story mattered more than the facts, and there's something both appealing and appalling about the idea that people could be so in command of their own destinies in the popular culture. Sure, you have that now, too, but stories about killing rattlesnakes and riding tirelessly across a territory have a little more oomph to me than the celebrity myths we have today. Frederick Jackson Turner might have declared the West closed in 1899, but it still beckons--appealing and appalling on so many levels. We wouldn't keep playing it out in science fiction if it didn't still hold sway over us. <br /><br />I don't really know what my own West is, aside from that one. I've felt adrift for a while now. But I have to believe I'm going towards something, because if I'm not...well, what's the point of any of this?<br /><br />I have to believe there's a point.<br /><br />...and now that I've tl;dr-ed incoherently all over your blog, I'll get back to work.arhttp://ar.dreamwidth.orgnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679636659450802233.post-48625350972739405072011-02-20T18:18:49.407-06:002011-02-20T18:18:49.407-06:00I'm kinda instantly obsessed with that skirt! ...I'm kinda instantly obsessed with that skirt!
