On the contrary, my blog is interesting. Monday, November 20, 2006. Sure hammers hammer, but do hammers exist? Like the majority of the class, I’ve had a spontaneous idea for a blog post mere hours before the deadline! Posted by Mike at 12:27 AM. Tuesday, November 07, 2006. Jay-Z: "If the war calls for Warhols / hope you got enough space on your hall's walls", Or: Jay-Z is not always a good rapper. More and more, I think Empire.

On the contrary, my blog is interesting. Tuesday, October 10, 2006. It is the seemingly mundane details that reveal larger meanings to him. I take issue with this, and Highmore’s Figuring the Everyday essay I think has my back on it. The assumption readers have to make with the Holmes stories is that he is intuitively right.

And unique SFU’s campus is. This made me think of two things: firstly, Highmore’s discussion from Figuring the Everyday about finding strangeness in the day-to-day.

On the contrary, my blog is interesting. Tuesday, November 07, 2006. Jay-Z: "If the war calls for Warhols / hope you got enough space on your hall's walls", Or: Jay-Z is not always a good rapper. More and more, I think Empire. I’m pretty sure I agree with Nick Hornby when he said, The last refuge of the scoundrel-critic is any version of the sentence, ‘Ultimately, this book is about fiction itself/this film is about film itself.’ That being said Empire.

But even better than the songs which sound like long-lost blues classics at least 35 years old is that he’s doing interviews again! This is from a Rolling Stone. You listen to these modern records, they're atrocious, they have sound all over them," he added. "There's no definition of nothing, no vocal, no nothing, just like . static.". Nevermind the fact...

A Productive Use of Leisure? Friday, November 10, 2006. Boring postcards of the future? During the break last class, I was reminded of James Howard Kunstler's feature, Eyesore of the Month.
