My students are writing for 10 minutes and are about to write for another 40 minutes on a practice exam. So while they're doing that I might cheat a little on the focus on this class and instead get down the myriad ideas I had this morning during the hour drive to get to school! These are all blog posts that I think of when I wake up, while I'm going to sleep, and while I'm driving, and then I forget to write when I do sit down to write. They are all long rambly yet substantial thought chains that I want to dive into and get out of my head and onto paper.
- dance dance dance songs, celebration, skepticism of uselessness, fun, etc. and how i came to appreciate the point of fun (it didn't come naturally)
- how lovely it was just the other night when selene gave me her magnetic bracelet (I'm wearing it now!) Other such moments that i find touching and that i value highly
- wiki rpg metaphor and approaches to collaborative writing. party of adventurers
- celia cruz "yo vivire" vs. i will survive. interesting politics and translation and rewrite of a poem/song
- why i love complex books, with examples. they demand a complex response if you're going to read them at all.
- the song "unconditional" and thoughts on love and religion and people's motivations and the evolution of my perception of that stuff
- another song, a gospel song called "Pray" I think, and a Very Small Epiphany
- the song "They " and its lyrics, political and personal, rereadings and relistenings and context. There is a lot about music here, isn't there! It's because I think so hard while driving, and now have a car stereo and a commute.
- open source movement and authenticity
- marxist feminist analysis, process, feminist mvments, techie industries, stuff to learn. would love to write an essay about tyranny of structurelessness and wikis and attention streams.
- reversed maslow's hierarchy
- the moment when i realized the point of "hanging out" and small talk (another VSE with a funny specific moment) this in relation to attn streams. my lingering (and i think good) impatience with it and love of production and making and doing. tension there.
- really get it out there about the fucking Cold Equations. WTF man.
- More thoughts on ancient light. WOW. Oh man. Fabulous. grabbing of everyone by the lapels and forcing them to read it.
