I have a paper due next Wednesday about Hollywood remakes and theories of simulacra, and I've been slacking off MAJOR for it. I don't know why, exactly--a combination of finding far superior ways to spend time, and being generally distracted by wonderful things.
Anyway, to get myself back on track, I am going to challenge myself to find ways to put the following bits of text into my paper:
Temporal trompe l'oeil
Unseasonably warm
Subsequent disturbances
Zone of liminality
Uncomfortably close
The sad thing I've realized about papers is that they're essentially giant crossword puzzles or haikus. All you have to do is plug in the bits of information in a pleasing way, and then BAM it's a good paper!
Occasionally you have to throw in a few "fortune cookies" in to keep it interesting, or else you fall asleep on the keyboard and wake up looking like a craterface.

I really need to spend more time on Elektro, and less on this biz. Papers are too damn easy.
