More impossible shit.


God, Grad School sucks in as many ways as it shines.


Wanna know something about the Chinese experience in the western half of the United States in the last half of the 19th century, just ask me and I'll hit you up with some "heady" references.   


Do you know what this is?

Our most modestly priced receptacle?

^^My guess was an ancient toilet plunger minus the handle...

I think it has something to do with Opium.

Very pleased to see all the McCarthy queued up, and that it is being taught (sunrise, what grade or classes do you teach?).

I'll be interested in hearing about the Foer. Unlike McCarthy, of which I've read everything, I haven't read Foer yet. He certainly has his enthusiasts.

I'm an adjunct at Skidmore College in Saratoga Springs, NY. I teach freshman expository writing and intro finction. I think I gave you the wrong impression, though--I just read The Road; I haven't taught it. I did teach Toni Morrison's Beloved, but stopped using it recently because it was too much to deal with every semester, since having a little girl. The Road was a similar experience for me as a father--I was moved deeply and not entirely comfortably by the consideration of parenthood in extreme circumstances.
