I should be working...but i've hit of a bit of a deadlock with this paper, and i do need a bit of a break. My paper is a an attack, of sorts,( or more modestly, a questioning) of what the class has mostly been about - which is fine by the prof, i know, but i don't want to make a fool of myself. This just might be the most ambitious thing i've yet attempted to write. I know i can do it, but i keep second guessing my points, and am sorely tempted to wuss out and make the paper a bit safer, aim for an easier target. The appeal, however, of many of the authors we have been reading is in their audaciousness - going after holy cows and such. MMM... cows... that reminds me i haven't eaten yet today....
