Friday Afternoon Confessional
I confess that I was a little too proud of a trick I discovered in Word yesterday. I confess that working all day makes one a little boring. I confess that sometimes it's pretty satisfying to let my RSS feeds go for a couple days and then just click "Mark all as read" without reading any of them. I confess that so far, the book-length study of Jean-Luc Nancy that I recently picked up and that appears to be the only book of its kind in English doesn't seem to be very great -- and I derive a certain satisfaction from that.
I confess that sometimes I have an oversimplified view of how macroeconomic trends could affect me personally -- for instance, high inflation would be great in terms of giving me an effective negative interest rate on my student loans, the housing bubble bursting might give me the opportunity to buy a house, etc.
Yeah, kind of a slow confessing week. Feel free to add yours. I hope no one was scared away last week because of the perceived need for categories.
