Sorry about not posting for a while. Last week was Spring Break and like every other college senior, I went crazy on this last hurrah. If I can remember clearly through the black-outs, I think I sat home, read a bunch of French ethical ontology, wrote a portion of three major papers I have due, and, maybe, just maybe, flashed my man-boobs for Nerds Gone Wild.

I also failed to write the last three weeks of Gobbledygook and update this space as regularly as I hoped to. But man! It’s frickin’ busy around here. This senior study thing is killer. Not to mention the two independent studies and the class I’m also taking. Hopefully, if all goes well, one of the independent studies will be completed no later than tonight: I’ve done all the reading, but I still need to finish the final paper. Once that is done, I’ll be able focus about 75% of my time on the senior study. I’d be really happy if I can have a significant draft of it done by the end of next week. But hey, I’d be really happy if I lost 20 pounds and grew three inches taller. So here’s to that.

I hope to get back on track on Fluid Imagination. One of the papers I started last week was actually for FI. I was trying to connect a passage from Derrida to a review of The West Wing, but it all got a little unwieldy, so I scrapped it. I do need to write that West Wing thing though, Derrida or not. I’m convinced that I may be one of the shows biggest fans, and I feel a need to justify all the hours that I’ve spent watching the DVDs to my girlfriend, who hates the show (Why?, you ask. And I quote my love: “I can’t concentrate on men in suits. I look at them, and all I hear is ‘blah, blah, blah’”).

Plus, it really is an amazing show. Even though it sank like a stone after Aaron Sorkin left at the end of Season 4, the show still had some sort of life to it. Watching Seasons 5 and 6 is like watching an old friend sink into a coma, a process which has its own sense of sad beauty. And now the current season is trying to revitalize the whole thing, which is interesting, because if it comes back to life, it’s only to be killed when the series broadcasts its last episode in May.

All of which is to say that I tried writing something for Fluid Imagination last week, but it just didn’t play very well.

That’s it for now. Just checking in with any folks who were wondering what the hell was up.
