When it comes down to it I’m a pretty shallow person.
My inattention to this blog bothers me. It’s because I don’t believe that I will really earn the promised $1 for every entry. What I need is a regular activity in which to engage every day, like going to mosque. Perhaps this will keep me from being the hyper-sensitive bitch that I’ve been to everyone in the last couple of days. I get like this when I put off my work in favor of other things, like Emotions. Hopefully this blog will be a buffer against Emotions. Well, the wrong emotions. When the semester began 2 weeks ago, I planned to have its theme be “love and romance”. Now it is more like “paranoia and menstruation”. This has to be stopped. It’s preventing better, longer blog entries about Other Interests. Also, I am nervous about the upcoming Gender Symposium meeting in which I am supposed to speak. At least I have a Byzantine pregnancy angle: in some regions, Mary was called the Platytera, a person wide enough to contain the universe. “Platytera: wider than the universe.” All of us are enveloped in Mother Mary’s birthing hips.
