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"
