four things about being raped:
a) though conceptually i understand the difference b/w sex and power, but it turned me on to be fucked by phil and sheppard, and not only did it turn me on, but it made me feel loved.
b) that being raped as being the first example of queer sexuality, my queer sexuality, meant that any attempts at seperating my idenity from that initial response is difficult
c) masturabting (and this year is the first time that i have given myself permission and not felt guilty about masturbating to phil and shep) is about restoring erotic memory, recalibrarting history, about giving myself permission for pleasure, allowing myself to control my desires and my bodies--one of the things that i keep thinking about and talking about is that i wanted them to fuck me, that i wanted phil or shep to do more.
d) aside from the shep and phil narratives, there were other narratives, some w/o sex, and some with sexuality that is such a mass of competing signals and narratives that it does not seem to be able to be finished.

so there is a (crosson derived) soultion to some of the more problematic passages in paul, namely they are intertextual additions as a way of stabilizing paul later on...that works, it allows me to engage with paul.

b) what to do w. the long tradition of work from the previously extant readings of paul?

also the west is one of the most absurdly photogenic places to film, just absurdly beautiful, and it is impossible to shoot it badly, the several long frames of cnayons and praries and deserts were image porn, and the shots inside with few exceptions did not have the same care--it is his first movie, and he should learn how to control that but this might be a quibble because of the interiors of ford and of 23 Quai De Commerce, so i might be worn out of cowboyed western shots.

five thots on a single man:

1. colin firth was v. good
2. the manic laughter to manic crying domestic desperation thing moore does is always awesome
3. the art direction was exquisite but overwhelmed the rest of the film
4. it was a not v coded, arthouse self congratulatory arguement in favour of gay marriage by way of aesthetics.
5. dave p: first movie that i saw with a manic pixie boy.
   

five thots on crazy heart:

1. the half a dozen scenes with colin ferrel as a keith urban charachter depending on a much better writer, and in general the parasitic rships that writers have with their artists was something unseen in hollywood.
   
2. the scenes of bowling alley gigs and pick up bands, of the desperation of a working musician had a genuine working class feel, and jeff bridges as a fucked up drunk had a broken, ursine quality that he earned
3. both of those make this the best movie about nashville since maybe apted's coal miners daughter--and the movie about that would have been well worth watching
   
4. but the romantic scenes with gyllenhaal were predictable and boring, she was playing the same part she always does, and that he was redeemed by her grace felt horribly conventional and extranous.
5. which means how do you make a movie about parasites, the broken, the wanderers and the like with a conventional hollywood expectations--can it be done or has it been done by the 70s--ever since the mechanics of film making has been democratized, i always want a working class cowboy to make a film like this, but it doesn't or hasn't happened...

five points for systematics:

1. i am not sure that i have hope, and i am not sure that i am still xian
2. i find something sustaining in the liturgical contexts of trad. xianity, i find even if they are rhetorical fictions, rhetorical fictions that still maintain a use function (cf rorty)
3. so it moves back to the hardy/oxen connundrum, the mystic desire for the presence of the divine, the erotic longing, the lingering heartbreak, and also images of absentee fatherdom
   
4. so it becomes a hope in the midst of an anihilating self--and so where do we go from there?
5. what does god have to do with the above, i fundamentally don't know, but not knowing is legitmate? (beckett)

What do you think?” he says, “Do you think it’s going to take meeting someone who I admire more than I admire myself? But isn’t it also about a beautiful vagina? Aren’t we talking about a matrix of a couple different things here? Like, you need to have them be able to go toe-to-toe with you intellectually. But don’t they also have to have a vagina you could pitch a tent on and just camp out on for, like, a weekend? Doesn’t that have to be there, too? The Joshua Tree of vaginas?

the story was that joesph smith went to the woods, and he prayed

as a result of this prayer

god came down and gave him the restored gospel

so i heard this story every day for a decade and a half when i grew up

but i went to the grove a few days ago

and it was a wood lot

of populars, lookign no more different, no more sacred

then any of the other copses on the road side

the videos and the paintings from childhood were these beautific images

of cathedrals in the wildnerness

dissapited here

but it was good

in the sense that it confirmed my idea that the church, even at it's most mystical or it's most weird

was plain

was banal, was about practicality

there was holiness in the plainness

some thots on oneida

• the bookstore had several books that were out of print, and cheap.
  
• one of them was special love/special sex a diary of one of the members
  
• there were 45k visitors to neida b./w 1862 and 1867, this was only mentioned in passing by the tour but thids must have been a huge source of money (cf similar numbers of visitors to the shaker community near by
• the culture of mutual criticism c/w est, etc in the 70s
• Victor Neyes, the son of the founder, was thought to have gone insane due to a combo of masturbation and certain texts, including goethe, he ended in a philly asylum
  
• prophibtion against masturbation as an example of selfish pleasure, and against the unitarian "biblical communinsm", but also the 19th century idea that it saps strength
• little or no information in the material about the interventions b/w homosocial and homosexual, neweth diaries mention male friendship, and switching rooms, and the like, plus the idea that everyone is married, and the liminal space of same gendered friendship sin the 19th century new england (cf d michael quinn and the lds; boston marriages) but little or no work has been done about this in the oneida
  
• all of the apartments focus on a central parlour, which functions as an example of the architechture of control, but a difuse, community one, sort of a paropticon set on its side. the parlour was supposed to control gossip, backbiting, and the like, but often failed--in fact the discourses of communalism that were encouraged and the discourses of communalism that were discouraged were often flowing from the same sources (cf eliza snow's diaries of plural marriage in utah, and how to lighten the community of sister wives)
• the refusal or inability to mainstream the practive was not that big a deal--the usual reasons for disalootiuon, hunger, backbiting, etc was less opernational then the natural dissoloution that marks the life span of these spaces
  
• the weirdest thing about the discourses of this space--is what caused its eventual downfall was the desire for single families and heterosexual pair bonding; the queerest thing about this place could be a "special" friendship (c/c the use of words like unusual or special friendship in satholci seiminaries to note male sms)
• much of the biblical discourse of the onedia centres on eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven as a singifer of sexual radicialism
• i still wonder what happened after the disovling--to the adults and children who had to leave this utopia, what does expuslsion mean in this context
• much of the deciding who would do which work was decided by an almost random combition of skill, mutal benifance, luck, and hard work
  
• in the library voulmes of the dial, on meserism, spiurtralism, fashonaible texts on the avant garde spiritual practices of the day; they visited and traded pracitical information with the shakers; and the mansion was based at least partially on deisgns by robert own, communalism was not only wiht in their own spaces but w/i an emerging community of these new spaces
  
• more research needed on the onedia's use of st paul
• there practice of spiritual eugenics versus personal or ethnic eugenics, as an excuse to have children
  
• prefectionism as a unique american way of sorting out the tension b/w work and grace, and is v calvinist.
