Friday Afternoon Confessional: Don't Blog Angry
I confess that I am participating in a panel with blogging mega-stars John Holbo and Scott Eric Kaufman. I confess that in order to have this lofty privilege, I must wake up unrealistically early on a Saturday morning. I confess that waking up early hurts my soul -- there's a suffering involved for me that goes beyond the lost sleep.I confess that I'm tempted to say something especially pissy about academic blogs in that panel presentation. This is because things at AUFS have reached such a degree of ridiculosity that I'm thinking of turning off comments for all my posts by default.
I confess that I have been a social butterfly the past couple weeks, and it's becoming exhausting. I confess that last night, I fell asleep on the 6 bus and then on the Brown Line as well, and in both cases I woke up at precisely the right time. I confess that one of my old reliable pairs of jeans now has a full-on hole in the ass. I confess that I lectured Tuesday morning because the prof was gone, and it seemed to go well.
I confess that I'm looking forward to reading Irigaray. I confess that I'm also looking forward to next week, when the theme will be "wrapping things up" on a couple projects.
