Writing a Thesis
Wondering where all the new content is? It’s not coming. Not this week anyway. This week I am taking a break to do a little work on my thesis. I have to read through the whole thing again to reimagine where the hell I was going with this memoir. Sometimes I feel a little silly writing a memoir when I’m only 27 years old, which is like centuries for my former students, but nothing compared to my crotchety old professors. Oh, how fleeting perspective is. I used to be young like them. I took it all for granted, and I felt like an old coot trying to tell them that they were taking it all for granted. Young people never listen. They think they know everything. Well, at least with this website you know what I know and what I don’t know. Well, you don’t know what I don’t know because what I don’t know can never be known. You know that old logical paradox.
But, just in case you were wondering what’s up next, I’ll tell you: we’re moving on to satire in addition to the “real” articles. It’s a seasonal thing. We’re going to start with autumnal leaves–how to get rid of autumnal leaves. That’s for September. Yes, I know there’s only a few days left of it. Anyway, next month will be something different. We’re not certain whether or not these seasonal pages will be all satires or not, but we’re thinking for the first year they will, and perhaps for the following years things will be different. For now, assume that any seasonal article is written in a humorous spirit–so don’t get so damn offended. This autumnal leaves article has the makings for a flurry of hate mail, mostly because of my suggestion involving illegal aliens. Ooh, boy! I’m gonna get it for this one. Anyway. I’ll post a link to it when it’s finished. Until then, wish me luck on my thesis.
