In the Beginning [of my paper]
4:44 pm - Hee. "Individuals [in cyberspace] appear to enjoy relating narratives to those they have never met and probably never will meet" (Mark Poster, Postmodern Virtualities) What a revelation! Next thing you know, those stories will star television characters!
4:49 pm - I've now typed up three and a half pages of quotes from first reading. Perhaps am delving a bit too deep?
5:09 pm - Okay, brief Net break. I just took this quiz, linked to by mona_1347. You must take it as well. So. Funny.
5:26 pm - "Television today has a social function similar to the weather. No one takes responsibility for it, often it is bad, but nearly everyone pays attention to it and sees it as a basis of common experience and a source of topics of conversation" (Joshua Meyrowitz, No Sense of Place)
5:27 pm - Does anyone else hear the name "Joshua" as "Josh-wah", in Jennifer Aniston's voice?
5:50 pm - So, I've called Domino's to order the pizza for tonight. I told them I had a gift certificate for a free pizza. The guy confirmed that he understood, told me my total was $1.07, and hung up. Am I mis-understanding the words "one free pizza"? Assuming that this delightful charge is tax, why am I paying $1.07 tax on a $0 purchase? Considering that the certificate was in response to an earlier unpleasant experience with Domino's, I'm less than pleased.
5:58 pm - Why would I highlight that? What does that sentence even mean? What was this guy smoking??
