13. Isai Cooloori Music College (8.31.2008)

A visit to Madurai’s local music col­lege. Gen­uine embar­rass­ment to this day that I didn’t belt out “Changes” or “Hap­pi­ness is a Warm Gun” when asked for a per­for­mance by the Indian stu­dents, who some­how heard/wanted to hear I “was a singer” via a whis­pered con­ver­sa­tion with an Indian girl.

20. Fury (11.12.2008)

While con­sumed with research for my ethno­graphic paper (Which is online. And posted under “ethnog­ra­phy.”), I didn’t have much time for reflec­tion in my jour­nal. How­ever, after the state elec­tions, I was enraged by the pass­ing of Propo­si­tion 8. Though I con­tem­plated buy­ing a rifle and learn­ing to use it, or threat­en­ing some sen­a­tors and oth­ers, I wrote this thought­ful rant instead.
