  • They are constantly torn in two by these tidal forces, between a wilderness that can destroy the body and a new wilderness that can destroy the soul.
  • yes i am given to overly florid prose
  • I used the word deconstruction in the first sentence of this english paper and i feel kinda bad about that but the whole book is pretty explicitly built around taking apart and critically examining and finding clever ways to invert the cultural mythology built up around native americans
  • kill living beings
    ug h my life
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    >florid prose

    goddammit now you've reminded me of how my version of Snagglepuss is so much meaner than the real one and generally lacking in florid language except when he must exclaim

    This sounds Neat, what book is it

  • David Treuer's The Hiawatha
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Should I read the Bible?
  • Depends on what you want to read it for
  • In my Halls between lectures being domestic and shit

    but it's okay because it seems to me like you are using it in the correct theoretical way rather than '[x] subverts this expectation therefore it is DECONSTRUCTION'

    you might want to talk about how deconstruction can be used as a critical approach to a book which, like that one, appears to be aware of deconstruction itself and is actively engaged in theprocess of deconstruction, like what use is critical deconstruction when the creative work is already deconstructive? are we reduced to just 'pointing out' deconstruction as critics or can we do something more with it? and if you want you could segue into the whole intersection of 'creative' and 'critical' which is very on trend rn at least this side of the pond, and and and and okay ima stop writing your paper for you now
  • is creative writing usurping the critical function? is critical writing usurping the creative function? my best guess is it's more like a weird and cool incestuous relationship wherein the 2 are becoming much less distinct and you can trace this intermingling p much as far back as you like (working backwards: nabokov, borges, benjamin, wilde, probably Pope tho im not an expert, hell, even the ancient greek dudes)
  • Got my washing out. Took up two washing machines. Whoops.
  • Know your lines? Of course you know your lines! But I don't want to just hear your lines...I wanna hear what's in YOUR SOULS!!
  • booked flights to taiwan

    my boyfriend very cleverly spelled my name wrong on the booking so that will probably cost us a load of money to correct. lol

    I've basically finished all the homework that's due before fall break and IT FEELS GOOD

    this is the paper I would love to write but this class is Intro To Literature so she has given us a tight leash wrt topics
  • this book is really cool because while ostensibly leaning really hard on "this is what the real world is like it isn't like the stories" it keeps a finger or two jammed into the magical realist pie and the narrative has a very strong associative "dude telling you a long rambling story" structure

  • Actually that's pretty funny.

    I can't stand people who complain about being corrected on pedantic things

    If you don't want people to constantly correct you, stop saying the wrong thing after it's pointed out to you the first time
  • alternately, stop hanging around people who correct you all the time because it's a huge chore
  • I love annoying sredni by finding increasingly elaborate ways to mispronounce things
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Actually, I think you'll find that Frankenstein was the omelette.

    this is how I and every other sane human being pronounces it
  • ...And even when your hope is gone

    (2015 self)

    How you pronounce what?

  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Randall speaks for me in that I'm also sick of people insisting that it should be "Frankenstein's Monster."

    "Frankenstein" isn't wrong, and "Frankenstein's Monster" isn't wrong either, so just have both coexist or whatever.
  • gyros as in the greek dish consisting of lamb prepared on a rotisserie served on pita bread

    image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    Gyros, pronounced cah-tuh-clih-zum.
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    yeeroscope
  • Sup bitches, witches, Haters, and trolls.
    yeero yuy
  • image Wee yea erra chs hymmnos mea.
    (We don't really have gyros around here, but doner kebab is a popular takeaway food and is practically the same thing, so.)
  • I want gyros now

    Randall, annoying me again.

    Also, Randall is an insufferable pedant while being insufferably anti-pedant, making him a hypocrite.

    Every "my hobby" strip can be summarized as "my hobby:  being grating."
  • Man is a most complex simple creature: see what he weaves, and how base his reasons for doing so.
    Again, that would be true, if the truth wasn't so malleable, moreso with a pop-cultural bit of trivia.

    The truth is MY ALMIGHTY FIST IN THE FACE OF INJUSTICE.
  • these dad jeans make my butt look cute they were a Good Purchase
  • I still can't believe anyone is legitimately offended by like

    any?

    xkcd comic?
  • seriously it is incredible how once you get down to like a 30/32 inch waist you can pull off just about anything
  • helps that I have expensive-looking glasses

    "Offended" is a little strong.

    It's just an attitude I've seen from others that annoys me.
