Benjamin has this essay--unpacking his library.
That's kind of what i'm doing right now.
after my father died, i kind of half-assed it. unpacked, sure, but i was interested in failure and chaos at the time (now i just experience them) and so i just let different things brush up against eachother.
you'd think interesting things would come of it. but either it doesn't work that way or i was too stupid at the time (and i kind of doubt the latter explanation).
but alpha-beta, well that just can't be beat. irony of the greeks still living with us. check out these two:
descartes with philip dick--totally makes sense.
weber-weil-weiner--crazy-ass psycho, but there might be something there, if i ever get to pull it together.
and if anyone has a book report due (mine's already mapped out "thing to object"--i've got no idea how i got that one working), go ahead and begin where you will.
