"Typically academic, they disdainfully observed about many university press books--"too dry, too specialized, too self-absorbed for us." In their world, the word 'academic' was as much a term of opprobrium as the word 'middlebrow' was in mine."
-- Janice A. Radway, A Feeling for Books

"Five months after Malaysia incurred global opprobrium by closing off its currency and capital markets, its officials are in no mood to apologize."

***************
In other news, I finally saw Weird Al's new video on VH1 this morning.
All I can say is....Al's back!!!

oh wow, Zero fucking de-friended me on MySpace

Shock shock, I'm not surprised. Someone gives him the silent treatment and he does absolutely nothing to try to fix it, says I'm the one who pushes people away, and he's pretty much doing the same thing. What the hell is this fucker's problem? If he wants to keep whatever friends he has left, he's going to have a hell of a hard time doing it.

*pshaw* Not like I care anyway. That's what he gets when he alienates me for the sake of his girlfriend. I wonder who got under his skin this time.

Whenever I come around to do any final shows, I'm going to give him the smackdown of his life, and it won't be pretty.

email, email, email!

How many times have I checked my email today? I'm becoming one of "those" people. *grimaces*

BTW, I'm at Tim's apartment for that party. I'm the first one who's shown up. I'm such a loser. Party ain't even goin' yet! *haw haw!*

Regarding last entry...not going to let it bother me. I shouldn't. Just keep what Fester said in mind: don't let him make me feel like the bad one. Stick to my guns. If it's going to get that shitty, then maybe the friendship isn't even worth saving.
