it would help i could remember the name of the fish

it reminds me of this paper i wrote about that elizabeth bishop poem the fish. i just had to keep calling the fish the fish for eight pages.

moral obligation

that’s a loaded term, but i used it because i’m lazy. i mean, i think that’s why i used it. i could use this footnote to explain what i mean by moral obligation, but that’s something that’ll take too much unpacking. i’m sure i’ll get into what i think moral obligation means and what that meaning means to me in future posts and/or footnotes.

teardrops in a rainstorm

for some reason, i think like decker or batty says something like this at the end of bladerunner. but it may have been in this article i once read, i think, about bladerunner and the de-centering of the subject and how bladerunner can be seen as a posthuman rereading of this one verse in genesis. maybe the one right at the start where there was darkness (nothing as in nothing like no space and no time and no matter) and god said let there be light.

either way, it’s supposed to be a joke.

my best blogging joke yet

i’m saying best in a relative sense on purpose.

footnotes

i just realized that i can blog footnotes rather than writing all my clarifications and asides in parenthetical remarks. i mean, i think it’s funny when a single sentence contains too much information, but it does make things confusing. obviously, that’s my whole point – to make no sense. but it’s important for me to make no sense in new and exciting ways.

new and exciting for me since that’s who i’m writing for.

in other words, footnotes, in my opinion, are my best blogging joke yet.
