There's a broken water main at west fourth and bowery and the whole intersection was flooded. Lots of firefighters standing around in rubber boots and a car stuck in the middle of a huge-ass puddle, reminds me of katrina photos a little bit. The weather here's been pretty crazy all week, and it isn't going to stop raining until staurday, which is like 8 straight days. 32 more and shit would be all biblical.
Speaking of which, i wound up observing the fast, which i think was the right thing to do, though i broke it an hour or so early, because it's hard to read Gramsci when your brain is all spaced out from lack of food, and i felt like i'd done all the atonign i was capable of doing in one day.
I am feeling a little down because no one is laughing at what i think is the funniest post title ever. Come on, people. Indulge my narcissism! (But only if you get the joke.)
What about Messirs Clarke and Sorum?
I get it.
ReplyDeleteHaha.
Better?
no you don't, but i appreciate the sentiment and effort.
ReplyDeleteOk, I must admit I didn't see it the first time I read the blog,
ReplyDeletebut now that you made mention of it,
damn it if I didn't actually laugh out loud.
Firm and Atoned!
And he IS Jewish!
HAAAAA.......!!!! :)
You clever boy, you.
Thanks, jules.
ReplyDeleteAlthough the joke was less about F&T himself than the problematic nature of the latinate word and its relationship to the capitalist logic of the body as saleable commodity. Yeah, that's the ticket.
Perhaps to illicit a laugh in the future, you should try a less obscure joke.
ReplyDeleteSo there!
you really had to be there.
