I could be writing a paper. Psh. I only have two this time. Easy.
So of course I'm surfin' the internets. Ingesting instead of the planned regurgitation. Ah well. Soon enough, e-friends.

So.
I lost fifteen pounds over finals week. I was too small for my tightest jeans. I've probably gained back ten of those pounds since the graduation ceremony last

more cars: "Cruel Intentions," tour vans/busses --> the deaths of buddy holly et. al. and of course the tour bus crash that killed metallica's bassist cliff burton, Keith Moon drives a Rolls Royce into a swimming pool, the blues brothers --> their cruiser that falls apart and the flying pinto scene, the idea of the car as an erogenous zone a la "Grease" or even pete and pete.

there's deff a thesis in those there hills

why thank you, I'm honored. for real.

aww! you often write elegant comments. this one was particularly concise, though, and i was particularly endeared by its form.

yeah dude, fo' reelz. I hadn't even thought of cars as a sexual symbol (duh!)

maybe this hypothesis will just focus on cars + gender construction?? that's a little pretentious for a tiny lit kid like me

random philological anecdote: in english, modes of transportation (ships, carriages, cars, etc) are almost entirely gendered female. incidentally, this class is one of the very few objects to retain gender in english (which used to have male, female, and neuter nouns like german or latin). the best example of this is referring to a ship as "her" or "she."

take it, run with it.
