I just lost a paper to the inevitable file shuffling we all do this time of year. Fuck.

I've kind of lost sight of what I want to do with this blog. It's only been a few days, a few posts. I'll think about it once all my work is done.

For now, I'm thinking of the William Carlos William poem about eating the blueberries in the fridge or something similar. Today, I opened the fridge and there were things there I wasn't familiar with. New packages, a different arrangement. It's like not realizing who you live with until you're gone for a day, not seeing them for the individuals they inevitably are.

I think this Wikipedia defn is a bit magnanimous. Can I use that word ironically and still have it imply virtuosness upon this blog? Sigh, mornings...

WotB: Magnanimity - (derived from the Latin roots magn- great, and anima, soul) the virtue of being great of mind and heart. It encompasses, usually, a refusal to be petty, a willingness to face danger, and actions for noble purposes. Its antithesis is pusillanimity. ...en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnanimity
