sometimes i feel like my vocabulary is devolving at an exponential rate
sometimes i read the essays of people who are erudite (but also prolix & verbose) and vituperate myself for my maladroitness with pretentious polysyllabic turns of phrase. then i remember that i actually wrote sentences like the above for SERIOUS when i was fifteen and when i was fifteen i didn't so much want to communicate anything with my writing so much as i wanted to obfuscate and then lord it over others in an Emperor's New Clothessort of way when they called me on it. "oh, you find my poem/essay/story confusing? wordy? I guess it's because you're a pococurantic wastrel." i was kind of an asshole when i was fifteen. an asshole who launched words like curling rocks at (or over) peoples heads. lately i've been in situations where people presume me a feckless imbecile until i actively work to prove otherwise. i hate how just working in an academic environment makes me feel like unless i'm engaging in "tautological reifications" on a daily basis i might as well start dragging my knuckles on the ground and smearing feces all over my face. slope is a nice onomatopoeic word. deosculate is pretty cool, but not very onomatopeic at all. can you all back me up that if i wrote entries like this all the time you would think i was pretentious shit & promptly unfriend me? |

wednesday pop culture [and/or] nostalgia miscellany
the people clamored for it*, and so it has returned! So. does anybody else remember the episode of the X-Files ("Kill Switch", I think) that featured a cyber chic hacker chick named Invisigoth? She was kind of mall goth Now tell me that shit ain't beyond RAD. ETA: BOOYAH!
*nobody actually asked, but i figured some of you were thinking it. or maybe one of you. or maybe just me. SEMANTICS! |

STOP: meme time!
i was going to post the gory details of the horrific work meeting i had last night... i came home feeling really stabby over what one particular (soon to be ex) board member implied about my work ethic (i worked from 9-9:30pm yesterday, ugh). instead i clicked on my friends page where i thoroughly enjoyed reading this relationship meme on ( and iiiiiiii-eeee-iiii will alwaysssssss love youuuuu-oooooo---iiiiiii... ) |

wednesday pop culture nostalgia miscellany
A brand new feature brought to you in an effort to distract me from the glacier forming to the right of my desk. Hey, remember Harry & The Hendersons? Statement: Harry wasn't as cool (a ha ha ha) as the Abominable Snowman in claymation Rudolph, but in terms of hirsute heroes with hearts of gold, he was up there. Discuss! I could write a detailed post about the Family-Oriented Creature Feature Comedies that densely populated a significant chunk of 80s and 90s celluloid, but then where would that leave me for next week? backstory: today's miscellaneous item is brought to you courtesy of my most recent (and most glorious) typo in an email to Smith. "I haven't heard from your anarchist librarian yeti. " man, if only i was plugged in enough to know someone with connections to an anarchist librarian YETI. |
