jamie, sin ningún tipo de vergüenza

Presumably the ‘calm’ between storms.

— turned in (yet another dilatory) review on Thursday

— filed leave extension form and essay on Friday

— zined with Rachel for ten hours yesterday

— did pretty much nothing but sleep and talk on the phone today. (Though I did get more zine layout stuff done, and I also did laundry.)

For all my frantic running around and panic last week, I’m starting to feel really pumped for the NYC Feminist Zine Fest this Saturday. Even if I’m not able to finish my zine in time, I’m really proud of this collaboration and I feel like I’ve learned a lot from it. Even better, I am very excited to spent time with out-of-state zine friends that I never get to see.

Also pumped at the moment because the guitarist from Whore Paint, a band I’ve been meaning to check out for a while now, sent me an e-mail with a free download of their new 7” for review. That sort of coincidence never gets old, especially when the band turns out to be pretty amazing.

Because I’m a huge geek though it’s possible that what I’m most excited for is catching up on texts and e-mails that I’ve been neglecting tomorrow. Hey, having good manners is important.
