Friday Afternoon Confessional: Don't Blog Angry

I confess that I am participating in a panel with blogging mega-stars John Holbo and Scott Eric Kaufman. I confess that in order to have this lofty privilege, I must wake up unrealistically early on a Saturday morning. I confess that waking up early hurts my soul -- there's a suffering involved for me that goes beyond the lost sleep.

I confess that I'm tempted to say something especially pissy about academic blogs in that panel presentation. This is because things at AUFS have reached such a degree of ridiculosity that I'm thinking of turning off comments for all my posts by default.

I confess that I have been a social butterfly the past couple weeks, and it's becoming exhausting. I confess that last night, I fell asleep on the 6 bus and then on the Brown Line as well, and in both cases I woke up at precisely the right time. I confess that one of my old reliable pairs of jeans now has a full-on hole in the ass. I confess that I lectured Tuesday morning because the prof was gone, and it seemed to go well.

I confess that I'm looking forward to reading Irigaray. I confess that I'm also looking forward to next week, when the theme will be "wrapping things up" on a couple projects.
