Common Fire

Oh also I watched Psycho with Hannah, there was a screening at Preston for some class. It really made an impression on her (as much as The Seventh Seal, now that's a big deal). She buried her face in my shoulder at some point, I held her until I figured it was safe for her to watch.
"you're cute" I told her.

And Clea visited Bard. She's supposed to be in India because she got a job there (she visited Shivalika and fell in love) but she's having visa problems so she dropped by Bard since she's still in the US.
It's been two weeks since and she's still having visa issues, so she's been working over Skype and doing very strange hours (working on India time).

Jack has been fairly absorbed by his political life, he even did a project over the summer which he wrote about . I visited him at the co-op he lives at, called Common Fire. It's mostly Bard students living there right now, but not exclusively, and the couple that started that specific one has moved on to another bigger project. One of the older guys, Tripp, said that there used to be more diversity in terms of age, and that two children have been born in the house. They've gotten a decent amount of recognition (especially for being green), but from my stand point: a lot of the stuff there is donated, so it's a nice mishmash of odd chairs, three refrigerators (they order food in bulk), and nonuniform kitchen ware (like at my house). The floors are wooden and the ceilings are high, the light is warm and the kitchen is very large. There's a wild cat they call Stealth who hang's out on their porch a lot, even though he fends for himself, and lives outdoors during the winter as well. They are out of the way, so they have a fair bit of land, and no neighbors and the parking is far from the house as well. They switch of on dinner duty, though for the day I came no one had signed up (a fluke). It was nice, though the location requires one to rely on a car for transportation.
