Margaret forbade me to report the comment she made about the relative size of Cameron’s; head and Gary’s nose, so I won’t.
Chris Locke got an honest job, writing about business and Blogaria and gonzo marketing for Corante (home of Donna Wentworth’s Copyfight and Hylton Joliffe’s column on blogging, so they’re obviously serious about this)—a sweet gig, and a good combination of his gifts and their venue.
Euan “Obvious” Semple and I were iChatting this afternoon about learning, desire, institutionalization, resistance, and Chris Locke. We regretted ways in which the world shapes children to fit its institutions, celebrated the extent to which no system of political or cultural domination can be so completely effective as not to leave room for resistance, wondered whether the cost of resistance is always worth the gesture, decided that it’s better to burn with resistance than to be quenched by acquiescence, and wished each other well. I’ve never met Euan in the flesh; I love Blogaria.
Finally, it looks as though I’ll be in New York City the evening of January tenth and the morning of the eleventh. I might ought to make only soft plans for the evening—and heaven knows everyone else has more interesting things to do on a Friday evening than quaff coffee with me—but Saturday morning should be clear. Any offers or advice gladly entertained.
