sustenance
Apr. 7th, 2008 07:31 pmFor dinner tonight I had 2 beers, 3 pierogies, and an ungodly portion of brussel sprouts. The sprouts were amazing-- seared a little on the outside with butter and cayenne and maple syrup and shallots. (Yes, bacon would have benefited them.) In fairness I'm still working on the second bottle of beer, but I like the symmetry of enumeration.
By my side is Jasbir Puar's terrorist assemblages, which I snatched away from my boyfriend. I'm really looking forward to digging into it, but in the meantime it's triggering small panics. Ms Puar, you see, is on the faculty at Rutgers' "Women's and Gender" studies program, along with my beloved Elizabeth Grosz and I imagine a fair number of other brilliant thinkers. It makes me wonder if I should be applying there, and places like it. What do I have to gain by doing philosophy institutionally? Why am I so stuck on it?
