Las Rzeczy: The Fount of Boredom
http://forestofthings.blogspot.com/2010/10/fount-of-boredom.html
Monday, October 18, 2010. The Fount of Boredom. Writing a paper. But I'm really. Staring at the computer screen and doing random paper-related things peppered with absolutely paper-unrelated things. Because I feel like this:. Not that I feel like reading. This novel right now*; I feel as awkward as its style. Ble. Which I must read at some point because it's supposed to be as terrible as this beginning. Pot calling the kettle black, eh. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jean-Honoré Fragonard, The Swing.

Las Rzeczy: Things Are Getting "Serious"
http://forestofthings.blogspot.com/2010/11/things-are-getting-serious.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. Things Are Getting "Serious". Sure, I don't like idiots spewing hatred on forums and in comments, but I prefer that a moderator quietly cut them out rather than tracking them down. (Though, yes, I do think they should feel responsible for what they are saying, I just don't think such feelings an be simply induced.). There is just procrastination. Hopeless. But, hey, at least I finally posted something ;-). Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Jean-Honoré Fragonard, The Swing.

Las Rzeczy: Looking for Things to Read that Are Not the Things I Have to Read
http://forestofthings.blogspot.com/2010/11/looking-for-things-to-read-that-are-not.html
Saturday, November 13, 2010. Looking for Things to Read that Are Not the Things I Have to Read. Because I have a lot of reading to fear, I'm trying to build an imaginary buffer of non-required reading. I don't know how much of it I will actually read, but I find comfort in knowing about books that I could read without a pencil in hand. For me, this means mostly new books, from the last ten years or so. And, usually, books by women. And I see I've drifted away from what I actually wanted to say. Coffee en...

Las Rzeczy: April 2010
http://forestofthings.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 24, 2010. I have a copy with the blue cover (US edition vs. Canadian? And while the image reminds me of the teenage I's favorite depressing book, The Bell Jar. The subtitle "A Memoir" feels less haunting than "Learning to Live with Solitude." White describes what for me are familiar experiences: a life in surreal tones that is, however, very real, but evades description as it evades relation. I don't think you can "learn" it because. what is there to learn? If so, why? April 10, 2010.

Las Rzeczy: What if a human battery takes a nap?
http://forestofthings.blogspot.com/2010/11/what-if-human-battery-takes-nap.html
Wednesday, November 17, 2010. What if a human battery takes a nap? Remember that scene from The Matrix. When they show the human batteries in the real world outside of the simulation? I hope you do. If you don't, you're probably starting college right now or are even a little younger- young enough to have perhaps been put off by the bad sequels so that you didn't want to see the first film. The one that scares me the most is the one for an "energy drink" (ha! See that, human battery- energy! A student em...
