    I shall probably be dumped in the near future.

    Don't say that _J_ you having a female companion has been a wonderful thing for these boards. And you I bet as well.

    ...that is a thinly veiled insult, isn't it?

    Maybe, or just trying to get you from thinking negatively using a strange unknown form of psychology.

    pods what do you think of pynchon

    From what I've read, I love him. The way he deals with paranoia in The Crying of Lot 49 totally blew my mind, and Gravity's Rainbow is, without a doubt, one of the best novels of the century. He really opened up my mind for what contemporary fiction is: moreso than narrative, fiction's role is to create a world of information. Whether that information is true is not as important as whether or not it is coherent. Whereas modernism loved fragmentation, postmodernism LOVES coherence -- it just doesn't have to correspond with reality.

    i tried reading 49 and I couldn't do it. i found every scene painful. his bizarre ideas and characters were pleasant but the i found the prose itself just really jarring and unreadable. i physically do not want to read the book, and i feel bad about it.

    Podly I think I learned more about post modernism in this 20 page "key terms" paper my teacher printed up for one of my classes this semester than I did in my entire critical theories class.

    I am so excited for my classes this semester!

    Who are you reading?

    Please say Foucault, he's the only post-modernist I really liked.

    Do you not like DFW? I think that he is second to only Joyce in terms of literary masterpiece.

    I actually have not read any Wallace yet, sorry to say.

    I plan to start on Infinite Jest when I get my kindle fixed, though.

    Interstice is such a good word, but I didn't know that it was a technical term.

    And the cynical side of me doubts that they are using it as anything other than a buzzword.

    Well the class actually isn't a post modernist class I don't believe but the fact that it covered it better than my critical theory class when it isn't even the focus is what impressed me. It's a weird class, it's focusing on slipstream sciencefiction, new wave fabulism and interstitial fiction.

    The reading list is:
    Interfictions: An Anthology of Interstitial Writing, Eds. Delia Sherman and Theodora Goss
    Blow-Up: And Other Stories, by Julio Cortazar
    Cosmicomics, by Italo Calvino
    Labyrinths: Selected Stories & Other Stories (selections), by Jorge Luis Borges
    The Metamorphosis and Other Stories (selections), by Franz Kafka
    Interfictions 2: An Anthology of Interstitial Writing, Eds. Delia Sherman and Christopher Barzak

    That said I do have Foucault's Discipline and Punish I just haven't got around to reading it yet.

    there is some good shit in there dude

    Ok seriously, why does OpenSSH refuse to implement the HPN patches? OpenSSH is limited to like 3mb/s tops on gigabit LAN connections with multi-core processors.

    Why why why would they not add a feature like this? More importantly, why why why do they not at least implement the "None" cipher, seeing as how SSH is the standard unix way of doing things but 99% of the time you don't necessarily give a crap if anyone intercepts your data, just if they intercept your login details.

    Can you do degu research on the interwebs to find out what's wrong with it?

    Can you try different foods to see if it will eat?

    Or maybe just cuddle it?

    :(

    We took it to the vet yesterday (going to cost me 185 bucks intotal) and got it some cream, antibiotics and the food that you mix with water and that syringe where you can stick it in her mouth and kinda force feed her.

    She just kinda lays around and doesnt do much, like she has no strength, hopefully she just needs a lot of rest so the antibiotics can fight off the infection, if that is what she even has.

    The last time I took a creative writing class was senior year in high school - highly recommend it. Maybe even try writing some on your own if you can't get into a class for it.

    Kind of funny... I got into Kafka in about 8th-9th grade... And whenever I was reading his stuff, I always imagined ghost-Kafka shaking his fist at me, pissed off that I'm reading his stuff.
