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
3/24: a silver lining
...to getting up very early this morning? A work-related dream or the rainstorm or a combination of the two woke me up, and I couldn't go back to sleep. In my dozy daze over coffee I worked on an example cento to give my students as part of an extra credit assignment. They can opt to make a cento using lines from a character in one of the tragedies we'll be reading; so that I wouldn't step on any of their toes, I made my example using Calypso's speeches from the Odyssey. I liked what emerged, and maybe my unsleepy sleepiness helped the process?
