oh concision, encroaching on my verbosity
Feb. 5th, 2005 06:47 pmKaeden was right: I am not a one-page kinda guy. My outline for this "500 words" response paper is already exceeding that tight limit. Ohh well. Maybe I'll just bang it out and actually figure out how to be sparse.
But I'm just too flaming to be laconic, even in my writing. I remember learning the word "verbose" back in the day when someone I was trading zines with responded to my first issue. I think it was "verbose"; it may have been some synonym.
Other than that things are going well. I made a list, very satisfying, of all the work I've yet to do. I drank a little bit with my boys last night and wondered around with them, feeling like a first-year, which was a much-needed respite from all this seriousness lately. My back hurts. I'm hungry. But I'm in the library with Cristina listening to the Pogues, and going to see Alix Olson/Pamela Means in an hour, so I'm a happy lad. Content, maybe, better word.
Also, is it lame to talk about the idea that what is commonly called ‘g-d’ is not a transcendent absolute authority but rather a force of transformation, intersection of infinite and corporeal, historically-situated emergences, co-emergence...in this Kierkegaard thing? I feel like it fits with the concept of radical doubt but it may be too Pagan-wishywashy. Any riffs, as usual, much appreciated.
cheers,
me.
