illusions.
I have a hilariously auto-biographical story up at Postcards From... mine is the "futuristic horror fantasy", I think, lol. I like how that manages to incorporate every genre of speculative fiction available.
I walked back from handing back my Nationalism paper ("Born Free: Failed Integration in the Post-Colonial Context", which sounds a lot better than the paper is) with the Hillary Chick in my class. She was, of course, wearing a Hillary t-shirt. Everyone knows who she is because she's often nearly late, has a sort of elephant-in-china-shop manner of going about the class, is very blonde and blue-eyed and Barbie-doll-ish, and is constantly wearing Hillary gear. She works for a Hillary phone bank, and is always busy campaigning. We were both wearing red coats today. There was much awkwardness. She has Hillary's voice. I would believe that she is Hillary's younger form.
The NYTimes has an article on the City Room blog called "Three baby hawks believed dead". I thought, because it's the Washington blog, that it was some kind of very darkly cynical comment about war hawks in Congress who were not going to run for re-election for various reasons. No, turns out it's actually about birds.
I have another reason I dislike Paolini: he named his "village hamlet" Carvahall. Does that sound like a village hamlet name to anyone? Well, I guess I don't know much about village hamlets, but what it really sounds like to me is the magical woods of Carterhaugh, and seriously, just don't steal from Tam Lin. I mean, come on, yo.
