(no subject)

Yesterday, I banged my head off a brick wall. Repeatedly. Which might have been more productive than what I actually did do, which was to read Hayden White's Tropics of Discourse, which was one of the books suggested to me at my differentiation. It has no direct relevance to my project; I think the idea is that it's supposed to teach me how to think in a particular way. But it's hard to think when you're running to the dictionary every other sentence. And when I finished, it boiled down to admitting that you don't have a clue what you're talking about and you're probably completely wrong anyway; also, something about whether your rhetoric was metaphorical, metonymic, synecdochal or ironic. Yes. Thanks. That really helped. *Goes back to productively banging her head off the wall*

( I wonder if they would accept a thesis composed entirely from memes? )

I've noticed something: that slander meme that's been going about? I've never appeared on it yet.
