I've never had tuna. Never. Not once. I don't know why, it just sort of freaks me out.

when you are lactose intolerant, brownie batter ice cream looks the same coming out as going in.

I can't believe that two coffees just cost me almost $10.00.

That is so fucked up!

Its 2:14 am EST, I am not planning on sleeping till 4pm EST on Tuesday, mabye a catnap sometime tuesday morning, but no real sustained sleep. In the coming hours, I have a history final and 27 pages of writing to complete (english research paper on a book and author I HATE!!!! Beloved, Toni Morrison, so friggin overrated), mark my words, this might get a bit interesting.

I just think its bullshit that all the books by an author get included in the canon of great American literature just because she won a Nobel prize, honestly, I can possibly admit that Beloved is worth reading once, but the rest of her novels? Sula was honestly the biggest waste of space I had encountered in many a day. She offers nothing that has not been said before and beaten to death. Her writing just annoys me, the dialects she employs are plebian, her characters are one dimensional and simply are a means to an end, there is no real personalization, they don't come to life; they simply exist as a vehicle for the plot, a plot that reads like a soap opera. Lastly, my biggest problem with Toni Morrison is the fact that she is resting on her laurels. She wins the Nobel prize and follows it up with paradise and love. Paradise has no structure, the narration varies within chapters with no discernable transition, the plot is just about impossible to understand, hell, even critics far smarter than me don't know what to make of it. There is a line between brilliance and insanity, when the best literary critics in the world can't make sense of your writing, its insanity, and just to be clear here, anyone who says that she is that far above the rest of the literary world is illiterate. In Love, she seems to have realized that the only semi decent book she wrote was Beloved, and recycles the entire living/dead ghost theme.

Sorry if this comes off as harsh, I haven’t had anything more than catnaps in the last two days, and my research paper on how Morrison uses infanticide as a structure of signification to make the social import of slavery relevant is due in around five hours. As always, this is just my personal opinion.

I'm waiting to the hockey game to start and wondering if I should make a trip to the whisky store.

**72Twenty** · 05-07-2007, 07:21 PM

**detroit** · 05-07-2007, 07:30 PM

I'm back from the whisky store.

There is something wrong with my laptop. It keeps "not responding".

**detroit** · 05-07-2007, 07:36 PM

No, Whiskey and keyboard do not mix. I already tried that.

Perhaps dry humor does not come across well.
