...but they are cute.
But not when they are possibly in my house. Seriously, this mouse is fucking with me. It runs by me all the time. It ignores the 5 or so traps we have out. My sister just looks at it and goes "awww mousey! Why do you keep doing that?"
I wouldn't mind except I don't want it running over me while I'm sleeping. Maybe sis should catch it alive with a slab of cheese and keep it in her room if she thinks it's so damn adorable.
Meanwhile I'm wasting time on here to avoid finding quotes for my postmodernism paper. We're supposed to deconstruct a quote...and I am torn between something related to dualism as an assumption in literary criticism and the idea of the human condition. Problem is...no sources anywhere that I can access, and conveniently it's almost 10 pm on a Saturday and I'm at my parents' house so I can't find books. Not that we don't have books. My (I think) INxP stepfather's books are taking over the basement (YES! the domain of the mouse!) and I doubt he has what I want.
I don't much like reading on a screen, but dang I wish there was some kind of search engine we could use on actual books. I don't use books much for sources (especially for big papers due in a week or so!) because it takes *forever* to take what I need out of them.
I'm not sure I could deconstruct the idea of the human condition. There isn't a definition for it anywhere online (except wikipedia). That's funny. Everyone just assumes it's a given. We're all human, and we have this condition.
Granted, everyone assumes the human condition makes us *miserable.* I could skewer that pretty strongly...but where would I start?
Derrida? Barthes?...I'd probably have to connect it to something else...literature, as was my original intent? That might be rough going, and I'm a lazy college kid with nice weather on a schedule...My main problem is that I can discuss things at length with the ideology of my sources absorbed into my being, and then when I have to cite, I go berzerk, because it all actually came out of my ass...
Damn, I wish I could acquire proof that a dualistic point of view is traditional in American Lit classes...that would be so much easier to deconstruct.
