quickly...dad visited, job disappeared (thanks, New Economy), M-- called, and now must scramble for employment. however...the summer does not lend itself to scrambling. thinking of jotting down an elegeaic something for my job.

the scribble from the previous entry will be worked on and reposted. would be interesting to trace how one of these things come about.

clinton in town tomorrow for a fund raiser; girlfriends and i are desperate to go, but each plate costs $150. why don't they have tables/prices for the little guy? that's all we want--a seat at the table. hee. funny. have not yet started blumenthal's opus. it's heavy and every time i go to heave it into bed for a little nighttime reading, i pull a muscle.

hooray for the supreme court decision reaffirming university of michigan's affirmative action program for their law school. o'connor hopes that, in 25 years, these programs won't be necessary. so do i. however, considering that jim crow only ended 35-40 years ago, the civil rights movement was truly active only 40 yrs ago and that bakke was decided only 20, i don't think it'll happen.

3 or 4 poems are in the beginning stages. i have a couple of weeks for the portfolio to look like something real. how awful.
