Purely for academic purposes, I swear! But it was interesting. ( Thoughts under the cut )

conferences, x files, papers, x files porn parody, academia

I had the spring issue of Lilith magazine in my purse, which I had brought over for the purpose of showing Raphael a quote from an article that, six months later, still doesn't make sense. Something about armadillos. Ah, wait:

"Because Alpana wasn't Jewish, though, and I wasn't Hindu, we screeched into these scarily future-oriented conversations, and I remember thinking, 'Who else has to do this, at this stage of life at this super liberal college? Who else has to talk about long-term? Two Jews don't have to talk about this!' We coined this word-'armadillo'-which means, 'Oh, no, we're in this forward-thinking pressure conversation, and we don't want to be here, so we're stopping.' Since then, I've realized that 'inter' couples get into armadillos: interracial, inter-class, inter-cultural."

context, which won't help you

"forward-thinking pressure conversation," WHAT DOES IT MEAN

So anyway, it resulted in a long, probably somewhat inaccurate explanation of Lilith

We are very picky. But we're Philes - it comes with the territory *g*

Haha, yes, indeed.

All in all though I thought it was really well done for a porn film. A definite homage.

It was. I'm not a fan of most ~mainstream~ porn productions, but I appreciate any that make me laugh. And as has been said many times, this was obviously made for the fans, by the fans. The attention to detail was hilarious.

That was an interesting article but I definitely don't undertand the quote about armadillos or the "forward-thinking pressure conversation,".

Hoping that my paper goes down well in the conference. Eek! The 'being made by fans for fans' angle plays a bit part in it.
