A list of things currently in my head.
Nov. 22nd, 2005 08:14 pm1) Today was a day that would have been better spent in bed. No, really. It was crappy.
2) Recently I've been hypothesizing that categorizing books by time period...is bull. After all, Lawrence Stern was writing literature that could have been termed "modernist" in 1740. If we say that all literature is following some direct path to excellence, then is Joyce's Ulysses the culmination of all good literature? It's a matter of opinion. And as an aside, how would we characterize current literature? Is there really one standard we can fit it into, like the 16th c. Romance, the 18th c. novel of morals, the 20th c. novel of breaking boundaries? I've been wondering.
3) How can I waste time with that and still have no good paper topics for my four papers due starting next week?
4) I think I actually love my job. It makes me feel happier to go and play with the kids. They're all such good kids, in their own way.
5) Vacation is in one day!!!!! I want to sleeeeeeep.
