every fucking body has a blog, twitter, and who knows what else.

it bothers me that some graduate students have blogs to display their academic competence. they picks news, news analysis, opinion pieces and sometimes (rarely) papers and studies of interests.

to be visible and mostly to help them get jobs......i think.

after picking something to fuck around their blog reads like sophmore and juniors making an genuine attempt to be intellectual, not contribution but appearance. some sad-ass attempt to provide a perspective, diagnose the situation, and apply some obscure theoretical clause.

basically it is just fucked up. and i am not sure if i have anything else to say about it. maybe later, i think i am sure that i will run into this again.

yesterday i went to party. most of the people there were English dept. graduate students and from Comparative literature ( fuck knows what that means). frankly i was out of steam at the party as i was already drinking at some other party and had had lots of Indian food (read lethargic).

at the party some kids were playing beer pong, i will not go into details to explain this intricate sport of skill and drinking. met a girl, who was standing by herself, so i started talking to her. and she would not converse. she said shes watching beer pong and was enjoying herself. baffled me that some people would be so alone in a social setting, and would not put themselves out (display human curiosity) that talking to humans is far less interesting than watching pong!
