Friday, April 14, 2006. I've hunted and hunted for the exact quote, but I've lost my "The Myth of Sisyphus" book, so I'll just paraphrase Camus. (I mean, what's the point of being an existentialist philosopher if you don't have people misquoting and oversimplifying your points, really? He notes that it isn't people that are absurd, or the world that is absurd, but our relationship to the world that is absurd. I'm sure Camus had some deep reasons for thinking this (if he did! But the thing is this: This is.

Thursday, April 20, 2006. I've been thinking about a post about the Fat Acceptance movement for a while now, because there is something that has bothered me about a lot of things associated with that movement. Reading stuff in the Big Fat Carnival makes me feel that now-familar feeling that I must be missing something, that I need to read more about it and listen more to that community, because I must just not get it. But then I read this post over at peggynature's blog. Weight is just as silly as thinki...

Thursday, April 13, 2006. And thinking dirty thoughts about your professor (c'mon, "O Captain, my Captain! Should probably be said over said 'captain's' lap, shouldn't it? Maybe it's just me. Not easy to do. Hopefully I'll get better, but for now.it's time-consuming and frustrating and it makes me wonder why I bother patching tubes at all and don't just buy a bunch of spares, really, because.well, there I go getting frustrated.

Tuesday, June 27, 2006. I was once told (ok, more than once, but mostly by the same person) that my blog is too negative. I focus on negative stuff. And it can be very true. Cutting me off, or worse, a left hand turn from the opposing direction, almost hitting me, or some such. And I try to think about the times that I'm uncaring and unthinking- the times that I do something bad to others. But why is it that the kind stuff, the nice stuff, which really can be the norm ( most people don't cut me off.

Thursday, May 04, 2006. Maybe I Blog Too Much. It's been suggested, sure. It's even been suggested by me. And I've thought a lot about quantity vs. quality in this writing, why I feel the desire/need to write here anyway. There are myriad reasons, of course, and some of them are 'better' than others, but I think one central reason comes down to this:. I just feel more sane when I write. But, even if I never knew that somebody else read what I wrote- the possibility. And Comics as Life.

Thursday, April 06, 2006. Irony: Thinking Insessantly About Whether I Think Too Much. K asked me recently in a comment whether I sometimes wonder if I think to much. And then, because of the inherent irony in asking the question, really- should I just answer off the cuff, like in a rorschach test, or should I think about my answer? Another possible irony: The answers to this question (to me) are so intricate and lengthy that even writing an answer to it is going to take some time. 5 Start to become annoy...
