http://flyinggrayson.blogspot.com/2007/10/first-thing-i-thought-of-when-i-read.html
Wednesday, October 31, 2007. The first thing I thought of when I read the part of this post about Simulacrum was drinking in college. Have people always drank excessively. Is this a new development? Did it happen after Animal House? People come to college and expect. To do a lot of partying and drinking? Is there a more explainable reason behind this? Is it because students are finally free from their parents and they decide that they are going to drink an excessive amount just because they can now?

Minute Waltz: Reactions to Craig
http://flyinggrayson.blogspot.com/2007/09/reactions-to-craig.html
Wednesday, September 26, 2007. I giggle a little bit every time I hear Lou Reed's A Walk On the Wild Side. I thought of this phenomenon in relation to Christopher Craig's Thoughts on Ideology. Craig says that " the ruling class appropriates those ideas which it finds most threatening. It commodifies them and mystifies their meaning, while also potentially taming the subversive behaviors that might result from them. Are there book versions of rap? What books aren’t safe?

Wednesday, October 17, 2007. There seem to be some questionable omissions. 8220;‘Come to lunch some day,’ he suggested, as we groaned down the elevator. 8216;Anywhere.’. 8216;Keep your hands off the lever,’ snapped the elevator boy. 8216;I beg your pardon,’ said Mr. McKee with dignity, ‘I didn’t know I was touching it’. 8216;Alright,’ I agreed, ‘I’d be glad to.’. 8230; I was standing beside his bed and he was sitting up between the sheets, clad in his underwear, with a great portfolio in his hands.

Minute Waltz: I don't believe in books but I read them all the time.
http://flyinggrayson.blogspot.com/2007/10/i-dont-believe-in-books-but-i-read-them.html
Wednesday, October 24, 2007. I don't believe in books but I read them all the time. In Barthes The Death of the Author. States that once a text is written it loses its origin. It becomes a series of words in a book that is set to be deciphered. In this way the author is dead, all the thoughts he but into the book no longer matter, what matters is the text and how it is deconstructed by the readers. 8221; he later goes on to claim that having an author puts limitations on the text. This seems a little fai...

Minute Waltz: I Want to Have Your Abortion.
http://flyinggrayson.blogspot.com/2007/11/i-want-to-have-your-abortion.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2007. I Want to Have Your Abortion. Awkward. My topic for the research paper is a psychoanalytic view of the narrator/narration in Fight Club. Yikes And of course, this is the one type of paper mentioned in class as what NOT to do. However I think that may saving grace may be that the narrator in David Fincher's Fight Club. I had a hard time deciding what to do, I couldn't think of a text- or a theory that I wanted to write about, so I looked at the sheet that McGuire gave us to ch...

Minute Waltz: It always ends up drivel.
http://flyinggrayson.blogspot.com/2007/10/it-always-ends-up-drivel.html
Wednesday, October 3, 2007. It always ends up drivel. So, maybe we could go out for coffee sometime? All right, yeah, or maybe we could just get together and eat a bunch of caramels. What do you mean? Well, when you think about it it's just as arbitrary as drinking coffee. The quotation from Good Will Hunting above questions the conventions of modern dating. Why does “going out for coffee” signify a date? Why isn’t eating caramels or going fishing the code for “let’s go on a date? A balloon could have ha...

Minute Waltz: November 2007
http://flyinggrayson.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 14, 2007. Tonight is the night, when two become one. With another painfully swift and reducing intuition it realized it was not just an I, but a male I.". Wednesday, November 7, 2007. I Want to Have Your Abortion. Awkward. My topic for the research paper is a psychoanalytic view of the narrator/narration in Fight Club. Is more than a character, he is the narration and I can focus on that and perhaps I can just re-work the thesis a little. I wanted to focus mainly on the image of t...
