Well, it's always fun to take a few minutes after a long project and reflect on how it all turned out. Too bad I don't have time to do that

So instead, I'll just offer a few tidbits from my work today. In short, trying to finish up a god-awful long ethnography project that is about 35 pages too long--it was supposed to be around 20!--egads, and my homemade pizza is cold and hard and the microwave keeps beeping at me to get my coffee out of it, so all I can do is say, here's the new words I added to my spell checker:

-unmutilated
-Marcuse
-... {yeah, my computer froze up trying to get past Eros and Civilization--I wonder if it is trying to tell me something ;)}
-zine/s
-radicality {this one was particularly amusing, since the sentence read "We recognize no pre-given limits to the radicality of our intentions." Apparently the built-in spell checker on the computer disagreed...}
-ethnographer's
-it wanted to add Kerrey's but I just decided to tell it to "Ignore All", it seemed rather fitting.
-recuperators (?) WTF is a recuperator anyway?
-countermoves
-accommodationist
-flyering
-assed, as in half-assed
-Unaguration
-consensed
-admin
-something's
-spatiotemporal {at least the computer tried on this one, it suggester atemporal...}
-Bakhtin
-insurrectionary
-unlife {it suggeted unlike - how unlike life unlife is - hahahaha, i digress}
-deconstructing {seriously!? How big of a statement on modernity is it that my computer knows reconstruction, but not deconstruction! Oh the irony.}
-it thinks Booya should be Yahoo?!
-anarcho {apparently it knows anarchy, but not anarcho?}
-primally
-unfreedom
-autodestruction {it thought this should be two words...}
-immediatists
-mediatists
-sublation {it went for the close sublimation, and an entirely different meaning!}
-supersession
-timeframe {again with the two word thing}
-disjoining {ditto}
-Ranciére
-biopolitical {which is truly ironic when one of the alternate options is nonpolitical}
