Sometimes I wish I had taken a relevant degree so that I could do interesting research that is also maybe useful to the world
I think English literature and similar criticism is a great thing to learn to improve oneself and deepen one's cultural understanding but goddamn is it ever deep inside the ivory tower
This is part of why I stopped making art after college.
The exact same people came to every opening, and I had little interest in preaching to a choir, as it were.

That's my problem with non sciences. It's a bunch of sycophants giving each other intellectual handjobs about white guilt, or post modernism, or feminism, in literature/art/music. It doesn't really save the world.

And I'm not smart enough for science.
Hooray for being useless!!!!
Looks like you're not smart enough for the arts either

I watched season one of Hyperdrive on Netflix last night...
man the brits have it right when it comes to TV... Make a lot of really good shows, make them half an hour long, give them six episode seasons and limit it to about three seasons max so that they go out with a bang and on top. (and hopefully get to wrap things up, but not always, sadly...)

Ms. Mendoza played Arachne, a spider villainess who has a major role in Peter Parker’s becoming Spider-Man and who becomes obsessed with the super-hero. Arachne is a signature creation of the show’s director, Julie Taymor, who said in an interview last month that she conceived of the character several years ago after having a dream about the transformation of a normal teenage boy into a powerful super-human. Much of the Act II story revolves around Arachne, and Ms. Taymor had collaborated closely with Ms. Mendoza on developing a distinctive look and manner for the character. Arachne delivers the musical’s title number and sings on five other songs, including an Act I turning point, “Rise Above,” and the finale, “Love Me or Kill Me.”

What I don't get about any arts subjects I've had to take is why the fuck do I need to drag stuff out so much? Why say in five pages what I can say more concisely in two? Honours English in school is the main reason I chose not to do arts in university.

Generally if you're dragging something out, it means you are missing something or you aren't examining it closely enough
this is true of essay writing in general, but lit essays in particular
it is possible to write an essay about anything whatsoever, without filler, in five pages. In fact it is much harder to successfully make a point and provide sufficient evidence and reasoning in five pages than it is to do so in ten or twenty.
