There's Something Here Even If I Have Lost That Forever In Life
If anyone should wonder, I blog mostly because I barely have time to write anything decent anymore, and blogging is a way of tracking what I spend time on. More importantly, it's an informal record of what has been happening that could possibly emerge as a proper narrative, once I have the time and energy to appropriate people I know and stuff I experience into my literary stream of consciousness. And I tell you, there're many best-sellers in there.
It's really less to do with representation of self than stories begging to be read and repeated. I don't aim to have any persona. but I try darnest to tell good ie "as-real-as-it-gets-good" stories, so that I have the record they did happen. My blog is THE memory prosthesis. It only matters that the telling gets told and stories get stored. In some small but significant way, reality gets verified. There's something here, even if I have lost that forever in life.
It's also a darn good way of preventing my brain from atrophying. I get to process thoughts in here, and use words I otherwise can't normally, since office mails are what I usually churn out. Best Regards. Could you please. Do consider this favourably. Looking forward to meeting you.
Yawn. More Yawns. Must write differently somehow, to maintain some sort of standard akin to that of NUS days, during which we wrote excruciatingly beautiful and exciting intellectual arguments and get appreciation in return. Would be such a waste if I were to degenerate. This is the space for it.
And mentioning of brains, here's something I will seriously consider attending, if I can get away from work~
Jacques Derrida: The Debt
Date and Time: Next Wed 3 Nov 4-5pm, Department of English language and Literature
Venue: Department Reading Room
Dr John Philips is probably chairing the meet to mourn and to talk, and to be all ironically performative. Jacques Derrida was an important figure in Hons year (not to mention the only thing I took away from Critical Theory Classes) so I figure it would be nice to go and pretend to be an academic again. Hmmm. Anyone wants to go? It's obviously free. And the question is also obviously rhetoric.
