Somehow, spontaneously, harmoniously, word decided to format the final page of my thesis as seen above. I think it’s kinda nice. Kinda poetic.

“The word in language is half someone else’s. It becomes “one’s own” only when the speaker populates it with his own intention, his own accent, when he appropriates the word, adapting it of his own semantic and expressive intention. Prior to this moment of appropriation, the word does not exist in a neutral and impersonal language, but rather it exists in other people’s mouths, in other people’s contexts, serving other people’s intentions: it is from there that one must take the word, and make it one’s own.”
Perhaps too many possessive pronouns, but that is beautiful. From Mikhail Bakhtin “Discourse in the Novel” cited by Henry Louis Gates. I’m very excited to be reading Henry Louis Gates.

Just used spectacular properly, as a derivative of spectacle, in my thesis. Feelin pretty literate.
It’s like when we all learned to use to realize properly. Although of course that’s played out nowadays.

METACOOKIES
thnx to a request from my darling, I made metacookies this weekend.
Instructions: bake normal nestle sugar cookies for a long time so they aren’t chewy or gooey. Mash them up a lot, grind finely, put through a sifter, whatever. Use this as flour in a second batch of homemade cookies.
First batch ended up like a pile of cookie slop, second batch was delicious.
Also in the spirit of making: some nice rum, champagne, orange, maraschino cocktails garnished with lemon.
Other updates. Still don’t have a job. Had an excellent day interning in family court. Have no idea what’s going on with my thesis. I desperately want to watch a close friend or relative dunk. The end.

If I had a million dollars…
Or probably more than a million. If I was living the dream (proverbially speaking), I would want a new, fresh, warm, white, fluffy towel every time I took a shower. That is, for me, the essence of luxury.
