time killing

I'm just going to post some random stuff to avoid writing my papers.

Pop cultural observations:
1) Has anyone seen the commercial with the wrong "Rock the Casbah" lyrics? beets with cataracts, the sheep don't like it, stop the cat box? hilarious. and the guys are pretty hot.
2) Top chef is great. I was in San Francisco when they held the contest there and now I'm in LA, the setting for season 2. and the guys are pretty hot.
3) I watched wedding wars on A&E. It's basically "A Day Without a Mexican" with homosexual instead of Mexican. The doctor from Firefly plays the guy from Full House's boyfriend. It was cheesy and full of stereotypical fagginess. and the guys are pretty hot.

Self-reflections:
1) Why does everything have to end with hot guys?
2) Why doesn't everything end with hot guys?
3) Why am I such a whore?

Paper topics:
1) materialist science in Romantic literature
2) conflations of animal and race in the 18th century imagination
3) celebrity and publicity in Henry James's "Aspern Papers"

Classes next quarter:
1) Time, Transport, and Trains in Victorian literature
2) The Afterlives of Radicalism (Romanticism with a post-colonial, historicist bent)
3) Canon-making in gay male literature (note the penis pun)

Criticisms of you:
1) you smell
2) you lie
3) your existence is the reason that penguins die and planes fall out of the sky.
