Friday Afternoon Confessional: Midnight Edition
I confess that I am sorry you have to suffer through two weeks in a row of my confessions, after such a nice respite of multiple confessors.I confess that tonight I coveted my neighbor's wife (wives, more accurately). Not my neighbor's ass, however.
I confess that I'm very pleased for The Weblog to have gotten such a high degree of recommendation from Crooked Timber, both from Belle Waring and (our very own) Scott McLemee -- yesterday appears to have been the biggest traffic day in this blog's history.
I confess that although I got a grant-based job as a research assistant and although that grant is time-limited (as in, spend it or lose it), I have not been as enthusiastic about putting in hours for that job as I perhaps should be. I confess that this is partly a matter of being out of the habit of "putting in hours" and partly because my money situation is currently far from desperate. I confess to a certain short-sightedness, but I also confess that there is only so much time I can spend on the Brown Line and the 6 Bus in a given week.
I confess that my sleep schedule has fallen into total chaos and that I am posting this after midnight in recognition of that fact.
I confess that today I had a pang of conscience at objecting to a feminist critique of Plato's Republic in class, even though the feminist critique was factually incorrect. I confess that a slight over-vigilance in such matters is fine.
Now confess my dear readers -- be shriven, and know peace.
