Some things I really think we should talk about.
1. Hope. Is this word over-used? Has it been misappropriated? When is hope actually a foolish miscalculation or naivete?
2.I didn't like Little Bee and I can't yet put words to why. This is very distressing.
3. Suddenly, I find twitter to be wearying. Too self-referential and congratulatory, too unnecessary. Too often, I find myself thinking, to quote Meg Ryan in When Harry Met Sally, "Why is this necessary in life???" And this is confusing, because-- obviously-- I can't say such things without indicting myself and because I don't know why these aspects of the twitterverse suddenly are grating on my nerves.
And what does it mean that now I am blogging about this? I can't think of an unimpeachable justification, and frankly, it's all a bit meta for my tastes, and yet, here it is: Today, I am tired of twitter. ALERT THE MEDIA!
I may decide to delete this tomorrow, but as Harry would remind us "OH MY GOD! It's already OUT THERE!"
If you can offer insight or commiseration, let's talk.
Thank you and you're welcome.
I don't understand Twitter either. I feel like I already have enough to keep up with in my life.
ReplyDeleteMeh. Some days I'm entertained by Twitter, and some days I'm annoyed. I'm sure it could be more useful if I used it more intentionally...but wouldn't anything?
ReplyDeleteIf nothing else, I appreciate that it forces me to refine my thoughts to 130 characters. Wait. It's 140 now?
i hated little bee too. like seriously. worst book i'd read in a long time. for me, it was the unbelievable voice. he is so obviously a man writing as a woman. yech.
ReplyDeletebut i do like the quote you chose from it in later post.
