"silhouetted against the backdrop of the ignited Shaandar Cafe, see, that's the very fellow!
Azraeel leaps unbidden into Farishta's hand" - The Satanic Verses
have been revisiting recent reads after a riotous discussion with SYD the SQUID-STEAL-YER-HEART about reading. It would be great to have 2 weeks off of school to just read and read and read and absorb information right through me eyes.
Is anyone else excited for one week off for spring break?
And alas, SlowFood is going to fuck some shit up this semester. No more Coke on campus. drugs kill people

Energy to do things!
Update from Peesh in the Nook/Astrodome.
Just wanted to share some cool feelings about Keith McHenry coming to stay at Slade and his presentation about Food not Bombs. It was pretty mind-blowing, and I have all kinds of energy to do things like walk with a group of women to our senator's offices and tell them how much we don't like the idea of cutting Title X funding.
Some of that energy also went into relocating a lot of hooks out of closets to the outside of rooms on the third floor. I love dismantling/building things, especially when I can make something that is not very useful into something very useful! I'm using the heck out of that hook by the door now.
As part of the hook moving parade, us third-floordians had a hall decorating and cleaning party which resulted in some pretty spooky lighting and a Tea-station across from the bathroom. My next move is to make a shelf for all the body-cleaning products in the shower room, but one thing at a time. Maybe I should do something schooly, but I really am into these home improvements right now.

He he he he
Hello. Shana McCann and I (Peesh) are sitting/standing/laying in room 301 right now giggling about the email address for this blog. Kale Seitan is secretly a way of praising Lord Voldemort, whilst also being the name of a very tasty dish - seitan wrapped in kale. SO GOOD.
Anyway, as an update post-sladies-night/music extravaganza, I have a surprise for you. I secretly recorded some tunes.

i'm walkin' on sunshine!
INSTANT DEL PIZZA UPDATE:
It's a balmy FORTY FIVE degrees here in Burlington, and let me tell ya, it feels like August. The great thing about living in the tundra is that even a mere thirteen degrees above freezing feels like fifty.
Inspired and thoroughly flipped out by the weather, Peesh and I walked home this afternoon in t-shirts, yelling the whole time. We ambled up to Slade only to find our favorite dread head, Syd, swingin' away under Mother tree. We screamed a little about passive solar block parties, whatever that means, and flung open the living room windows praising the gods of feelin' good. Then Syd biked away to class for the first time on a fixie.
Me and Peeshie proceeded to get super hyped on manual labor and shoveled some snow out of inconvenient places then checked out the greenhouse. That baby really needs our help. We have more little plastic planters than Gardener's Supply, and they're practically all broken. WHY? Anyhow, we were thinking that it would be fun, cool AND productive to have a workday/potluck in which we invite interested parties to come help us clean out the greenhouse and give them plastic planters and maybe a few brewskies in return. It would be great! Play a little music, do a little work, eat a little food, what could be better?
In other news: I sustained two more oven burns last night. I'm starting to look really cool and tough.

I love talking about compost.
Update from Peesh, in the Davis Center/Death Star:
Today in a discussion group for my Sustainable Development class, we ended up talking about landfills. I pointed out that even organic matter (banana peels, hot dogs, lettuce) can be dug up say, 25 years later, and still be almost entirely intact because of the anoxic conditions. I also pointed out a few ways to avoid filling landfills (composting being one of them) and shared a bit of knowledge I gained in the NOFA VT compost workshop. Consequently, I ended up saying "I love talking about composting!"
The editor of the Cynic is sitting across the room. She pins me with a deadpan stare and slowly says
"I love. Talking. About. Composting."
The class finds this to be hilarious.
(I really do love talking about compost.)
