because I have to get reading. You know when you start a project and think, maybe I should read that really important theorist's major texts. M-hm. Yeah. Because of course, I found the one I should have read months ago. I'm glad I did a lot of background reading about what critics were saying about literature and culture in the time period I'm looking at, and I have read a bunch of theory in the past, but I knew damn well the theory was where I needed to be and I kept pushing it off anyway. And I don't know why because I love it. I'm reading Gayatri Spivak's Translater's Preface to Of Grammatology at the moment, and it's completely amazing and exactly where I need to be. It's where I should have begun.
Thanks to my friend for posting this as a bulletin on MySpace: The $3 Trillion War in Iraq. I just don't get it. On what level does this war make sense to anyone who isn't getting rich off of it? My only beef with the article: what's the difference between "deaths" and "violent deaths" in the context of war? (There's no answer to that question.)
And on the homefront. Apparently an addiction to someecards.com ("when you care enough to hit send," I love it!) and forwarding funny pictures to one's friends/coworkers and friends/family, etc., can get one fired. "One" is misleading; at least three of them just got canned. Who knew? One more reason not to get involved in Corporate America. As if we needed that.
Live punk tonight. Awesome.
