It only took a year or so, but I've finished reading Zizek's Less Than Nothing. Over a thousand pages of Hegelian goodness.

Yesterday's mail: a senior citizen discount card from the Ohio Department of Aging (in anticipation of my 6oth birthday next month). Sigh.

Today I revisited one of my favorite concert videos, John Zorn playing live in France -- here. I definitely recommend it. It's all fabulous, but particularly love Marc Ribot's guitar work.
*
Started reading Clark Coolidge's 88 Sonnets.

Appearances proceeding slowly. Recently finished fragment 230. Only 135 to go.

Two things: 1) congrats on finishing the Zizek, and 2) you're turning 60 and sighing? You're just a kid!
ReplyDeleteThanks, John. The Zizek was something of a marathon.
ReplyDeleteI must confess that the prospect of 60 is freaking me out, just a little.
don't fret, tom
ReplyDeletemost of us continue to live after 60
some of us even after 70
I hear you, Tom. 60. Who'd have thought? And what comes next? It's all very interesting, and very strange ... tho of course osuzannahhh is right.
ReplyDeleteNice to see Appearances in Silliman's blog roll yesterday. At 60 you can not ignore the fact that you are 60. All best. Live long and write.
