do not assume

This is more a to do list than a post…

Reading list for this afternoon: Ionesco’s The Future is In Eggs, Jacques or Obedience; Beckett’s Waiting for Godot (excerpt); Genet’s The Blacks: A Clown Show (excerpt). After the reading of such things, I will be extrapolating from the texts a skelington framework of absurd theater, with which to contrast a similarly erected skelington framework of Oberiu theater (based largely, but not solely, upon Kharms’ Elizabeth Bam and Vvedensky’s Christmas at the Ivanovs’. I also have to e mail Mr. Hoover at SFSU to inform him of the dates of my visit in April (4th to the 8th, anyone know of any relatively safe hostels near the university? Assuming there are readers, that is). If I get this stuff done sometime, I will also be reading some poetry later (hah, like I’m getting all this done), and writing and/or revising some of my own poetry. All in all, the plan is that today will stretch on for another week, or so, otherwise, I won’t get all this done. But, just in case, I also need to bake a loaf of bread, get more basil, apples, kale, broccoli, leeks and a few other odds and ends, (more) reading, this time for economics, read some poetry for writing workshop, this is starting to sound like a list for the rest of my life, and this and that…

I promise there will be art, music and literature stuff, I’ve just been busy with school things, so bear with. The one person (possibly including myself) who reads this.
