Garden of Forking Paths

The Garden ofForking Paths Page

Working on stuff for my lit class I got distracted and was browsing wikipedia for thesis stuff. I found the above website, which is the coolest thing I've ever found online. It exhibits exactly the princliples I want to discuss in my thesis and it's awesome because it also does a lot of the things I wanted to do with some of my hypertextual poems last school year. Anyway, I think I'm going to go home and spend the rest of the day reading this website.

Rage

Project Runway tomorrow night.

Time for Rage. I haven't Raged yet on the new Rage Dump. Of course no one will read the Rage, so it doesn't matter how angry I get and how much I display my hatred of the world.

I'm in a class that I loathe. It's a poetry class. I love poetry. If you have discovered this blog from my much more widely read poetry blog, it's pretty obvious that I like poetry. I write the stuff for chirst's sake. But I do not like nature poetry. There is something trivial about nature poetry. Unless a poem has a hint of the sinster, there is no point to reading it--at least this is my opinion for a world where educated, fat, happy, Americans have things to lament. I don't want to read a novel without conflict where only happy things happen because that's boring. Why in the hell would I want to read that sort of poem? Disgraceful!

Yesterday we sat outside (which I hate doing in class because it's the most gimicy way for a teacher to feel like they are being a good teacher) and read Whitman to each other. Yawn. We talked about how he was the voice of the people and how he revolutionized poetry. I can buy that he revolutionized American poetry, but I don't think he was the voice of the people and I don't think that means I have to like his work.

busy, busy, busy

Wowza. I'm tired. No time to blog or do homework or prepare my lecture for tomorrow. Too much working. I did find time to watch more Battlestar Galactica though, but what I really want to watch is Venture Bros.

October 6th

Ack. Time for another post. I think the SciFi channel wants to give me a birthday present because I discovered that new Battlestar Galactica episodes begin two days after my birthday. October 6th here I come!
