did i just miss the first snow in new york while smoking indoor?

我一直沒有辦法寫完這篇文章我想我是真的太累了。總算,總算完成了第一學期的所有事情,我卻沒有力氣歡呼只想就這麼陷入龐大的沙發之中忘掉自己過度僵硬的肩膀和頸子。我看著CSI:NY被那個極度俗氣的高科技犯罪探測器具畫面逗得想發笑。為什麼這個世界上會有這麼多的警察影集呢?我竟然就被腦死的自己絆倒在家在窗邊抽著煙然後錯過了紐約的第一場雪。聖誕節就要到了而我在美國住了第八年仍是無法融入小燈泡、甜食、擁擠的商店、關於耶穌基督的一切。

my winter reading list:

1. borderlands/gloria anzaldua
2. women, race, class/angela davis
3. the truth that never hurts/barbara smith
4. a brief history of neoliberalism/david harvey
5. the enigma of capital/david harvey
6. nations unbound/linda basch
7. maid to order in hong kong/nicole constable
8. and the everlasting capital i...ah! damn marx. i will conquer you.
9. marx at the margin/michael lowy
10. queer migrations/luibheld and cantu
11. constructing the subject/kurt danziger
12. when prophecy fails/leon festinger

you see i'm going for the third world women comfort mixed with some marxism and transnational queer and then have to go back to the asian roots and some social psychology. that's what my winter will look like this year.

  1. hi wen,
    do you have any interest in reading capital vol. 1 with others this winter? i read it as part of a study group over 10 years ago; with entrenched prejudices as a teenage anarchist and limited experience with marx as a primary source, little understanding of political economy at the time, and retained very little from the experience. i've been meaning to return to it for several years now, but i've been waiting for an opportunity to read it (and struggle with the material) with people who i might share political affinities with (the latter i've gleaned from following GF).
