the big guns

The days they are tumbling and I heard on Charlie Rose last night the word "blog-o-sphere" more times than a person really needs to. I guess "this" is The Place, the post-modern space for radical deconstruction and the reconfiguring of social/cultural hierarchies! Where readers can comment immediately and there is no seperation between writer and reader woo hoo! The round-table speakers went on and on about how now it's possible to "read exactly what you were thinking and where you were at 10:10 a.m. on Wednesday February 16th 2005." And I thought, well, I always could do that with my handwritten journals, I still do, what's the difference? How is "this" "new"? The idea that it's going to "last forever"? I hate to break it to you, smarty-pants round-table-ers, we've yet to find anything that will cheat death. And oh: can somebody tell Charlie Rose that the truly radical call this an "online journal" for now?

So they went on & on so enthusiastic, you gotta hand it to smart academics, they're so earnest and fiery, they make me miss NYC, they make me crave Grad School. And I sat with my new "Eloise" in my lap and thought of how, really, I want nothing more than to drink fine champagne straight outta the bottle. To stand underneath the Japanese magnolia while the big mild kissy wind blows the petals down sipping a $50 bottle of champagne right out of its heavy green bottle. Or: to be the Japanese magnolia you stand under and shower you with champagne and pink and foggy morning winds.
