The Lost City

So, I can't quite put my finger on it, but there is something to the last NASA shuttle being named Atlantis. 

Something about how after this boat leaves, space will become something of a lost city.

 

To the Americans, anyway.

A place we can visit through tour guides from other places, but no longer any kind of domestic endeavor.

PoMo: An Intellectual Condom

"Fronting any subject with the knowing wink of postmodern metadiscussion is an easy way to avoid any real connection. Writer's don't have to worry about failing to get the work across, and readers don't have to worry about being moved by an experience that touches them somewhere other than the brain. It's an intellectual condom."

-Colin Frangos, "Colin on Colin"

Hub of the Universe

Dear Boston,

Your charms beckon.

I will be back in two weeks. Call the 21st and tell them to have plenty of potato soup on hand/in bowl.

Love,

A Love Letter to TV

Dear TV,
I love you.

Right now I am watching the local weather report for the town I grew up in because WGN has a national channel. Right now I am remembering all that snow that I'm not in.

I switched from BBC America with the British Law and Order, which has Jamie Bamber, whom I every time I see, I call out "Cylon!" even though he wasn't a cylon on that show, but I do it for everyone on that show because it seems like the right thing to do, to help out in anyway I can, and really, when I see those who actually were cylons, I call it out much louder; it's more of a greeting for everyone else.

It should worry me that I greet the TV people. But it doesn't.

Now for some Adult Swim on my hip and happening Friday night.
