Procrastination Redeemed

I recently re-read Paul Gilroy's excellent book Postcolonial Melancholia. (nerd book; from the non-nerd recent reading stack I wholeheartedly endorse Philip Roth's Plot Against America) One of the many topics Gilroy covers is the recent rash of imperial apolgists, who use their ostensible credentials to argue that the world is a better place when

I should let the universe meld things more. It lends this lovely feeling of coherence to everything.
XOX right back at you.

the weird thing about those suri pics is that they only confirm that katie holmes is the mother. because basically the baby is an EXACT REPLICA of her mother and looks nothing like tom. freaked me out.

At least the pics can deflect the fake-pregnancy rumours, if not the Tom-is-insane rumours.

Just because you don't spend your days pouring through books about things very few people care about does not mean that you are officially retarded. It may in fact be a sign of great wisdom. (Moment of career choice doubt #5768).

Well...it's true about NASCAR.

PS. Suri is an ugly baby. Belongs in someone's belly.
