(9:21 AM) | Adam Kotsko:
Friday Afternoon Confessional: I slept in, okay?
I'll allow Richard to start the festivities:
I confess that I want to confess, and you didn't make a chess mover yesterday like you lead me to believe you would. I also confess that when I'm home and Kari is not I like to wear her clothes and listen to smooth Jazz. I confess that I'm never home when Kari is not.I confess that I'm flattered whenever I get harrassing e-mails after not posting the Confessional or the Tuesday Hatred as early as everyone is used to. I confess that I kind of wasted a lot of confessions on Wednesday, with my worried post.
I confess that I don't have any milk for cereal, and I'm thinking about just skipping breakfast rather than walk across the street and pay a visit to the grocery store.
I confess that the hobby that allows me to keep my sanity during graduate school is, ultimately, sleeping.
I confess that I've become really obsessively detail-oriented about geography and particularly about public transit options since moving to Chicago. Within a few months, I'm sure that I'll start finding Beautiful Mind-like coded messages in the bus routes. I already think that the CTA Trip Planner web site is out to get me.
I confess to a sick desire to track down and read Origen's homilies on Leviticus. I confess that the allegorical method no longer seems extremely weird and foreign to me, but the Bible does, increasingly so.
I confess that I still haven't learned Italian. I'm a failure. I confess that I should probably join the AAR. I confess that sometimes I wish that I could just crawl into a cave and be all by myself and do my work and everyone would leave me alone -- but at the same time, I push myself to the limit to make sure I don't have to turn down social engagements in order to study, because I'm worried that once I start down that road, there's no going back. I confess to sometimes identifying with M. Swann, then realizing that I'm nowhere near as cool as that guy.
