Going to see Dave Matthews tonight, which I don't know is a wise choice seeing as how I have French homework, essay thinking, and analyzation of a Supreme Court case to do. But ah well. You did not come here to read about the homework I am doing!

Except, I'm going to need to use this space to flesh out my thoughts about my essay. It seems my mind, these days, is a muddled mess that cannot keep things straight and steady. Here is what I know: my essay is going to be about stillness v. motion, time, passion v. truth, and memory. Now, how to connect and cut them down so I will have a concise, sturdy structure...

I have several scenes as "evidence": visiting Monet's garden (which shows that the passion I have for the painting created a romanticization of the reality, and how the long, romantic wait to get there isn't justified), the Incident (the dream, once again, quickly fell to pieces, even though the truth was there for me to see easily), and my childhood (I love it now that I look back on it, with fondness, nostalgia, but did I actually enjoy it while I lived through it?)-- luckily something that can never really be shattered, unless new evidence comes to light.

Ah. I am actually starting to see something.

Hrm, and I was going to write my post today about our society and why people want to be thin. I'll save that for another day.
