I'm SO annoyed by all of the pretentious jokes about Derrida's death.

Dude, the only FUNNY thing to say is that he's no longer deconstructing --- he's decomposing.

Glad I settled THAT one!

But other than that. This was a pretty good weekend. Went to Sauvie Island and got the pumpkiniest pumpkin ever. It's a pumpkin in the platonic pumpkin paradigm. It's fucking cute! Fought...

There are some subjects that I really enjoy (see: the shift from adhering to standardized visual tropes within manuscripts to actual innovations within the illustrations -- which leads to the realization that we are imposing our own views as to what accounts for 'visionary' and 'innovative'... and then tying that to postmodernism and the idea of the unoriginaTED text...) but damn if I still suck...

All right. My new set is up. Heads UP kids, I'm gonna be rolling death...

So, when we took this set, after the few first shots I pretty much collapsed in an asphyxiated puddle due to a) lack of food and b) heat and oxygen restrictions. So the set you're seeing was taken after I laid down for a long time and stopped the sunspots...

Goa GIl was just as awesome as I thought it would be. Just... LIVING YOUR LIFE to the Goa trance beat. It's an intense experience and a perception-alteration that I would highly recommend to everyone. Temporary autonomous zone, indeed...

Damn, I don't want to deal with passport renewal. This shizzle can go to heck...

I am loving my classes so much this semester. I love...

All of the theory i'm reading these days is blending together in a big, hetrogenerous mass.

When one can draw connections between medieval conceptions of information absorprtion and Roland Barthes, one is pretty much fucked, yes?

Well, THEORETICALLY.

Oh I slay myself.

These recurisve themes... how unoriginal could postmodernism BE, really?

I think that makes you a qualified Sociologist, and hence - genius! biggrin Well, i do love to give myself such self importance. whatever

Actually, my MSc dissertation drew together warfare, modernity and pyschiatry and i excelled, i think you are doing the same.

Sleeping with you would be equivalent to being the punchline to an awful awful joke...

Yesterday - Xiu XIu, Deerhoof, left before the Decemberists. Xiu XIu was one of the best concerts I've seen in a while. Wow... they actually create these sounds legitimately! (if you count rubbing a contact mic on things as legitimate...) FINALLY went to the Red & Black for the first time, which was a pretty great experience, and saw a midnight bike ride. Portland is...

and i'm so not telling the most rediculous thing i've done to see a concert.

I remember a band called "Performance Canceled" that would put posters up and then write "PERFORMANCE CANCELED" across them, then show up and play anyway. It was a Dada / performance art thing.

Bailey is easily one of those people of whom I would live in awe if I were close enough to her orbit... oh man, AND this set has Siv! Honosity. If only 2-girlness were in the werks.

Classes are going well. Postmodernism isn't what it's cracked up to be. Maybe one of these days I'll take a break from 20th century theory, yah?

Everything seems...

The first week of school's absolutely flown by . I've been a naughty slacker and havne't been scheduling my meetings and office hours for the next couple of weeks, but oooh I'm high on being finished! Mentally, I still haven't fully recovered from that experience...

Classes -- I wish I'd taken upper-level photography, because this course is just far too basic for me. Ah well,...

historical contextualisation is so very yummy, isn't it? especially when sprinkled with archaic french.
