Veering wildly off the subject except that except for the Russo, which I haven't read, I agree. But it struck me yesterday that metahemeralism is at least as deserving as aetataureate for wikipedia's nonce words list. Also. It's mean to tell people that you studied metahemeralism in college just to watch them nod knowingly, I see, I see.

Mean but FUN. So FUN.Save that Russo for a dark and dreary hour, it will refresh and elevate your soul, I swear. Also if I ever have to go to faculty meetings again (not since the tribal college) I'm totally going to take it with me and just sit there reading it during them. Brilliant levity.
I just really do not know why Faust is in this list. And Mickelsson, where is he? Hang on, must go add--
So if Albee is on here does that mean I can add Wit?
Hmp, this thingy ate most of my comments. You'd BETTER! (stealing wireless from neighbor, feeling guilty, also the first batch of 42 essays await my comments by 10:30 am mañana....)
