I am in Boston now for the WAM Conference, media and gender. I will tell you a secret: I don't really care anymore. I want to make experimental films about African music, something uplifting and artsy just for fun. I am still trying to get over the date I went on Thursday night, with a 42 year old French man with a nine year old daughter and girlfriend. I'm still in shock over the discussion we had. Without getting into it, it makes this whole feminist thing kind of besides the point in a way...
I am in Cambridge right now and it is amazingly quiet and clean and pretty and spacious and I understand the appeal now, after living in Brooklyn, it's so nice to have a bed and a window that faces other rooftops in silence. You can only hear the birds.
But I love New York sooo much, it's pretty addictive, I can see myself having an anxiety attack if I stayed here in Boston for too long and didn't go back.
The conference is at MIT, which is cool, because I love it there, I interned at the MIT Press three summers ago. It is very techno I must say. But I don't like walking through the school parking lots, it depresses me, reminds me of Loyola. I am sooo happy to be done with school, academia can be stifling at its best.
that's bc boston is greige. we know dis.
