Terry Time...

[It was one of Terry's books that first helped me understand critical theory back in the 1980s. He's great.]

Eeeee! I hope I can make it to at least one of them. I must admit I wish he was talking about that "After Theory" book he recently wrote. But I'll gladly take terror as a substitute!

Oh, thanks for adding me to your friends list a while back... nice to meet you!

Yep, he's one of the last remaning strongholds of anonymous LJ readers! Oh the things he misses behind friends-only doors...

The lad is a chronic. But an otherwise bright and bushy-tailed individual of the 'far too smart to be allowed in close proximity to the rest of us' type.

Don't know about your blogging experience, but after having toured the more august climes, I prefer slumming with the text-homies in the LJ crib.

No question!
