thevillagecharlatan

It’s one of those days–the result of several days of adequate food and sleep– where I need a little flow chart to keep track of my new ideas. I hope I can keep up with these ideas. So far today I have thought about: the “influences” list on the Lucky Dragons website; choosing/designing a list of courses to better train me for my job; the mechanics of getting a PhD in information science; Adorno’s comments on masks and animism; the canonization of information (prompted by looking at “A Great Idea at the Time” and “Reinventing Knowledge from Alexandria to the Internet” on Amazon dot com); the implications of dwelling in your identity thoroughly versus allowing your identity to encroach on your scholarship; ways to articulate “not-there-ness” [absence, relocation?] and “instead-ness” [substitution?] (prompted by thinking about Alberto Burri’s Grande Cretto project); the unwritten first fifteen pages of the second chapter of my MA thesis; train travel to the midwest; my exclusion from last night’s viewing of American Idol; and the fact that perhaps my thinking is so lateral that it cannot be contained by disciplines. Yes, I may conclude this thought session convinced I am a genius.
