I've got a lot of papers to write and fields of economics to review, so this is sort of (does that make sense? I guess it's just cause of texting, but it doesn't feel right when "sortof" or "kindof" actually has space between the words.)whooooops lost my train of thought.
So this is sort of just a placeholder while I get through this week and finish my exams and various final papers. As soon as I get to Christmas Break, I'll probably (I say that tentatively (Which I say hesitantly)) be back to writing full length random blog posts about nothingness. So here's a few observations and remarks about stuff I've been writing about, as well what is likely to be my new favorite website ever ever, once I get the time to fully explore it without the back of my mind constantly saying (That's not a real expression.) "OMG OMG OMG PAPERS SO MANY PAPERS" in a sortof (oops) slurred, whiny, panicky (because the word wasn't weird enough without an gratuitous random "k") Scandinavian accent.

Sometimes I don't like that my thoughts get in the way of my words. (hmm.) One more time: "once I get the time to fully explore it without the back of my mind constantly saying "OMG OMG OMG PAPERS SO MANY PAPERS" in a sortof slurred, whiny, panicky Scandinavian accent.
Stuff I'm writing about:
- Well last Friday I wrote extensively about the efforts of Native American communities in North America to "reassert sovereignty" in the Twentieth Century. (There was actually a lot to say. I think of it sortof (CRAP) like those grabby claw games in arcades. Almost got the political self-determination, almost got it, just gotta drop it in the hole, NOOO!!! Dang it, the Richard Nixon doll just jumped out and pulled it down! (whats going on?) okay okay try again, we can do it. almost almost, no, more to the right, youre gonna, youre gonna, NOOO!!! YOU GRABBED THE STUPID TROLL DOLL! (Try to imagine the Native American who's yelling all this stuff and heckling the guy who's actually trying to free his people from imperial tyranny) (I could continue this by talking about some of the younger Native Americans who want to just say "heck with it, let's break the machine", but then the older Native Americans don't want to and then the people that own the place start coming over because they're racist and the Native Americans are looking threateningly at the claw machine, and then for some reason guns start going off))(Starting to get extended metaphor induced headaches)
- Oh wow.
- Right now (well obviously not *right now*) I'm writing another paper about "what is a work of art" and especially how it pertains to music and the question "where does a musical work reside?" Which is getting reaaaallly metaphysical(I hope I've been using that word right) and collegiate and is hard to wrap my head around but It's amazing.
- Then I've got to do two more papers about music, but I haven't started yet so I don't have much to say about them.
........So this post was not as brief as it was meant to be, but I guess that's how it usually goes.
Last but not least, here's the website: Tv Tropes It basically explains and goes into all kinds of ridiculous detail about all kinds of different cliches and genre conventions in literature and television and everything. Like literally everything. I love it.
