Life in late capitalism can be vexing, alienating, fragmenting, and otherwise frustrating. There are many wonderful things in my life, but I'm more likely to talk about what's bad rather than what's good. I'm going to try to post one good thing here each day, and if you would join in by adding a good thing from your day in the comments, I'd love it--I'd absolutely love it. --RR
2/18: chance encounter
I was on campus for a meeting and then dinner this evening, and after leaving the cafeteria I crossed paths with a great student from my Myth class last year. We didn't really pause to talk, but she did say in passing that she had recently pulled her copy of Ovid's Metamorphoses off the shelf to read a bit of it. She's not a Classics major or minor, so it really made me smile to learn that she both kept the book (rather than sell it back to the bookstore at the end of the semester) and read it when she didn't at all have to!
