That reminds me. Hemingway. Love some of his short stories, but hate his novels. I want the hours of my life back that I spent reading A Farewell to Arms, hoping against hope that it would get better, since it was a FREAKING CLASSIC. I hated that stupid nurse character that did nothing but call him darling all the time. It's like he'd never met a woman in real life before. He did have a cool house with lots of awesome six toed cats, though.
Those stupid cats are hard to photograph. I'll have to try again this winter.

I am not very impressed with myself.

There are lots of artists out there whose work I don't particularly admire, but at least those guys A) finished something, and B) sold it.

Which is more than I have done.

Jeez, by that logic, we can't criticize anyone! What are you trying to do, destroy the Internet?

Humility sucks. :D

I wonder if Al Gore pondered, 'Well at least George could get to power.'

"Said attempted to stigmitize (very successfully, unfortunately) anyone who objected to any aspect of "Eastern" cultures that conflicted with these ideas and institutions."


You do say "aspect of 'Eastern' culture', but the assumption here is that Said was simply acting as a champion of anything which happened to fall under that category (the category being imagined or otherwise).

First of all, I use "cultures" in the plural sense-an important distinction given the fact that you charge me with assuming some kind of monolithic "Eastern" culture. Second, while Huntington was too broad (as well as arbitray) in his definition of cultural groups, its also not very useful to deconstruct aspects of culture to such an extent that no broad causal explanations can be derived. All cultures are fluid and overlap with multiple other cultures-that's pretty much stating the obvious, and dosn't aid the search for answers. Third, Said and his acolytes repeatedly attempted to stigmatize collegues who disagreed with their positions (especially regarding the relative importance of domestic societies and institutions versus Western imperialism regarding modern global inequality) as malicious and ethnocentric hacks who, as part of a dominant cultural group had no business engaging in critical research and analysis on cultures far removed from their own.

I hate the Cadillac commercials with the fury of a thousand firey suns. Listening to a bunch of smug pretty people making pretentious lists of all the things they love while driving a boat anchor of a car. Yeah, never mind about that struggling economy thing, and all of those people losing their homes and unable to get health care. Let's talk about our rich tastes and how special it makes us sound.

Or, she just honestly is not impressed the inherent qualities of being high on marijuana.

yeah, basically. for the record, i'm pro-legalization. i just think marijuana is kind of lame, and i think that being high for years on end is also kind of lame.

Have you seen the recent Ford commercial with the blonde saying something like "I like, totally never would have considered driving a Ford before, haha!" Well it sucks.
