Monday, December 17
Ugh. I still haven't really started either of these so-called papers. Bruce has pushed his deadline back a day, but I still want to do the rewrite tonight, at least as much as I can. I tried to talk to Peter, but he didn't respond to my e-mail until he was about to leave. Hopefully I can go talk to him tomorrow. Plans for the rest of the week are unsettled, but they'll get there (carolling, falafel, bûche de noël, art, packing, leaving). Tom Francis, Brigid Maureen, Alyssa (nine days!), Uncle Dan (five), Ester. Rebecca asked for New Wave, so I put on the Cars (on cassette.)
Here's some books I'd like to read:
Baron in the Trees, Italo Calvino
Cloudsplitter, Russell Banks
Collected Fictions [second half], Jorge Luis Borges
[Collected Stories], Herman Melville
A Farewell to Arms, Ernest Hemingway
Giles Goat-Boy, John Barth
Grapes of Wrath, John Steinbeck
The Great Eskimo Vocabulary Hoax, Geoffrey Pullum
Infinite Jest, David Foster Wallace
Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer
The Language Instinct, Stephen Pinker
Lectures on Government and Binding, Noam Chomsky
Lipstick Traces, Greil Marcus
Mao II, Don DeLillo
Midnights Children, Salman Rushdie
Miles, Davis
Reservation Blues, Sherman Alexie
Samuel Johnson is Indignant, Lydia Davis
Sons and Lovers, DH Lawrence
Word Freak, Stephen Fatsis
i don't mind you coming here
and wasting all my time
