aslantwent running again last night, and stretched some more. the obvious result: my leg muscles are not quite so crippled as they were previously. how stupid of me.
soreness in muscles is actually caused by minute tears in the muscle cell's structure. when you walk, those little cuts and tears are grinding open over and over again, hence the burning sensation. salt thrown into a wound.
scientists have discovered why shower curtains billow inwards during showers. and i always thought it was the monsters of the cold bathroom air...
i did indeed sugar coat that list for said and send it in letter form. we'll see what his response is. good thing i can defraud this company for free fedex shipping, or i'd never be able to send it back. i am flat broke. i need a paycheck, badly. i need milk, yogurt, cheese. i'm living off of dry goods. cereals, rice, noodles. i cook a poor kitchen, these past few days.
on stereo is morcheeba. i've been here before/it ain't gonna work no more/i've been here before...
last night annoying english major person called into a talk show discussing the volatility of texts, with the woman who wrote the wind done gone . the caller said texts should be purely texts, uninfluenced by history (ie slavery). i nearly threw the remote at the stupid radio. what an idiot. how can literature ever truly be separated from the culture that produces it? this is why i think all english majors should be force fed a course in comparative literature. why should a text exist in some void? we are not here to hole ourselves up in an academic corner and debate the merits of one hermetic plot device against the next. we are here to relate, to connect these things via history and systems of government and morals and society's current whims! to do otherwise is to live in a dream of isolationism, a holdover fantasy that stems directly from the colonialist rhetoric comparative literature is trying to dissect! we cannot separate one thing from another! ever!
