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
1/23: deciding
...to read the Homeric Hymn to Dionysus today in Myth class. There was no reading assignment on the schedule (since we're still in introduction-to-the-course mode), but I realized that it would be short enough for us to read in class from a hand-out, that it would connect to some things we discussed on Tuesday, and that it would be a nice, concrete way to start talking about Classical myth and getting some thoughts in the air. The decision paid off. They did a good job of drawing things out of the text and taking turns to read it aloud.
