Once again faithful readers, (all five or so of you) I have nothing of real content to say. Except that after meeting with the professor I'm doing the Jacob piece for, I have an actually fun idea:

Take Jacob, and talk about his character. Each section shows him in a different light, and at the end of each there's an italicized (or offset or something), detailed, fictionalized account of him doing...something. I think I might do it on his leaving home after the whole 'stolen blessing' event.

I think I mostly like the idea because when I suggested it, the prof liked it. She thought it would, quote, "make Jacob look like a schizo," (also why I like the idea-I got her to be as blunt as possible) but it would be kind of "artsy" and that's what she's looking for in the paper.

Also on a biblical note, I thought of a comment (I think that's what I referred to them as; you know, those little blurbs that are really hard to read? Form matching content, yay) on Eve:

Eve is afflicted with the singularly human disease of ambition. She wants to know more than the serpent and he calls her bluff...

Hey, Wired ran a blurb on French bloggers being shut down for inciting some the previously-mentioned riots. Skyblog in particular; it seems it hosted most of the ones that were killed. My French knowledge, I realize, is far from colloquial...but at least I can understand most of it. Or at least the humor of the few blogs I poked around in. I might bring it up in class...on that note, Mdm brought in a letter from one of her French friends or relatives or something- I didn't quite get that. At the very least, her friend felt rather strongly that the government welfare program was to blame, paying for the health and shelter and cellphones of the magrébins (I think was the word) who have been (she feels) responsible for all of the 'events.' Rather scathing article, actually; I think she has a personal arguement with immigration. Oh yeah, magrébin~ northern african immigrant, or something to that effect.

I think I had noted something else to say but I don't remember it.

Oh- Vicky volunteered to get me off campus whenever she and Mana (practically a unit) go next. We spent almost 20 minutes (again) talking about random stuff; apparently they both went to a corn maze last weekend. I can imagine the result of a couple dozen sequestered (over-implicative [is that a word? can i make it one?] word but it works) college students on a farm/barn/cornfield... hmmmm...
If she sends me pictures I might put some of the excellent ones on here. I think I can get them to sign a release for it...they might need to be willing if I go mainstream...
I should probably figure out a more- wait, nevermind, I'm rambling again. I still haven't found a way to link to papers I've written but I also haven't spent time on it.

See you next...whenever...
