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
1/22: forgetting
...that work was work. I'm not supposed to work on Saturdays (according to my own rules), but today I did. I'm assigning an ekphrasis project of sorts in my mythology class, and since it's a somewhat unusual assignment, I wanted to give the students an example of it. As I was getting ready this morning, I had an idea for a hypothetical painting based on the Homeric Hymn to Dionysos, and this afternoon I wrote it up. It's nothing grand (it's not supposed to be a big project), but I had fun doing it, and I hope the students will have fun describing their own hypothetical paintings too.
