“ And further, if she had not been able to make a decision about this one small thing, as she might not have, then she might not be able to make a decision about anything else either, because all day long there were such decision to make, as whether to go into this room or that room, to walk down the street in this direction or the other, to leave the subway by this exit or that one. There were many ways of reasoning through every decision, and often she could not even decide which way to reason, let alone make the decision itself. And so, in this way, she might become entirely paralyzed and unable to go on with her life. ”
Lydia Davis “Five Signs of Disturbance”
This reminds me of John Barth’s idea of cosmopsis - too much consciousness to be able to accomplish anything.

My boyfriend tells me he wants to go to try “CrossFit”. Huh? What’s crossfit? CrossFit maintains that proficiency is required in each of 10 fitness domains: cardiovascular/respiratory endurance, stamina, strength, flexibility, power, speed, agility, balance, coordination, and accuracy. CrossFit uses Olympic weightlifting, kettleballs, gymnastics rings, pull-up bars and many calisthenics exercises. CrossFit athletes run, row, climb ropes, jump up on boxes, flip giant tires, and carry odd objects. They can also bounce medicine balls against the floor or a target on a wall.
Interesting. I’m all about the latest work-out trend but after looking at this picture of CrossFit Trainer Certification…nope. Not for me.

New motivation to lose weight. Street fashion blogs. Your legs are sticks. How do you walk on those?
Freeze Tag
What was the name of that safe spot in freeze tag? Like you could keep one hand on a tree and an eye on whoever is “it” just calculating the best time to run. But if you stay there for two long, you’re bound to be tagged, the last one out.
A good friend of mine is the type of person who makes decisions. They make the decision to run..then tell you to run and make the decision for you. This person makes the decisions you could only make on a warm day, after half of a glass of rum and lemonade. Should I go for a walk before dinner or should I read a few pages in my book? The gravity of the situation is always the same - book or walk? And you always make the right decision. Stay or go? But what about waiting, what if you don’t know yet and so there appears another decision - wait. And you wait, then you run, you’re tagged, and you’re out.

Next year I will be at Art Basel in Miami. Mark my words.
About me
When I was little I wanted to grow up to be a Fly Girl on In Living Color. It makes me wonder how I ended up here. soundslikelove@gmail.com
