Up late. Went to an internet cafe/bookstore, a place I kind of like, but on the way back I felt sick. Luckily my office was just there--went to the bathroom, found myself sweaty. I think something's going around

It's funny how the phrase "the desert of the real" is coined by a philosopher (Baudrillard), passes into popular culture (The Matrix) and comes out in another philosopher (Zizek).

I was not aware of the work of Baudrillard! Thus the use of "hyperreal". Thank you!

Also: before commenting in your journal I sent an e-mail to solri@livejournal.com. It said a little more than "Do you think it would be ok if I were to comment in your journal?" but not much more. I don't know if you got that e-mail.

The answer is yes, so long as you stay clear of you-know-who.
