here's my latest contribution to evilmonito, mr. rickey k.'s virtual zine. it's about my lack of worldliness in the realm of derrida.

mais, peut-etre tu ne comprends pas?

derrida est un enigme, c'est sur, mais on peut dire que le valeur de ses theories est cet enigme - l'abilite d'inspirer des discutions, des arguments, des nouvelles theories...il n'y a pas de fin!

je ne suis pas une "deconstructioniste" mais les theories de derrida sont amusantes, au moins.

ou bien, peut-etre c'est la faute du traducteur? - lori

Damn that Lori for writing things in this foreign tongue (is it still called "tongue" if it's written?) so I can't understand!

you're not a robot? the way you swing a golf club, i thought you were a terminatrix.

as an ardent anti-deconstructionist, i applaud your madness. but i must say that pencils are, in fact, not elephants; clearly, they are that little bit of salty mustard-goo that drips from the end of a pretzel you buy in the mall.

but i agree with lori: deconstruction is, if nothing else, quite amusing.

is that what she said? i thought she opined something about "lost in translation" and how much it divided film critics.
