Friday Afternoon Confessional: Late-Nite Edition
I am writing this after having finished my Benjamin paper, in order to save myself some time for a couple extra "snooze" button respites. I was not able to indulge in all the theoretical acrobatics that I had projected -- I chose instead to focus only on texts that were plausibly related to the Benjamin essay.I confess that at several points, I was tempted to convert my paper into a piece of Lacanian hackwork suitable for publication in Zizek's "Short Circuits" series, published by MIT Press.
I confess to eating ramen every day for the last week and to drinking far too much coffee during the writing process.
I confess to an ill-advised, though certainly very interesting, trip to an Unfogged-themed chat room on the very night in which I needed to finish my Benjamin paper.
I confess that it has never seemed especially weird to me that Anthony is married, although it's apparently very weird to everyone else in the entire world.
Please direct any and all confessions to the HaloScan brand comment box below.
