Orientalism Part Deux - Neocons in tights
well no relation to the title once again. I meant to just register that I finally, a YEAR after I requested and then cancelled once (in disgust), recieved my dialapidated copy of Edward Said's "Orientalism". I am planning on taking the notes in my notebook, and then I'll just post a digital of it on frickr (or flickr if they have reset my account) .
I just realised that the lexmark that i got sitting around is actually a 3 in 1 (printer, copier, scanner) with 3-flash-reader builtin. Now only if the fuckers at "WorstBuy" will give me the goddamed rebate. We'd be all set. And its been 6 months already!!!
In any case, orientalism should be a good read. I had started reading Neal Stephonson's Baroque Cycle vol 1 (Quicksilver) But it became too frikkin PC, and preachy and turnd into a slog in the first 10 pages. So I promptly returned it. Right now, I got bigger fish to fry, and I'm not in a mood to slog through 950 pages just so I can check something off my 43things list.
WhatEVA!!
Back to Orientalism, hopefully I will have either the flickr account which I've been thinkin bout gittin, or maybe my new 300 mb space at textdrive.. which i'm lazing around about now. that way, me get to post pics.
Time for The Daily Show!
WURRRRD!!
P.S. Ya Know, Chappelle's show's got some really good musical guests on it.. I like the way they jam. None of the manufactured-hip-hop shit here.. Right on brotha! I find that comedy central has some really cool stuff happening. A light in the sea of dark, dark, shit!
The world is turning into a fucking one legged tyranny, and only clowns can tell the truth without getting their heads chopped off.
pity!
