The Borders of Things

And you thought the average gamer takes it too seriously . . .

The title of this post refers to fellow English scholar Tim Welsh's final seminar project. The course was dedicated to theories of the everyday, which included some really cool conceptual apparatus. My favorite: de Certeau's distinction between tactics and strategies. I wish I would have taken the course.

Yesterday I demonstrated classic Paul behavior by showing up to my language class in Pioneer Square a week early. I mixed up the dates. The plus side was that I have another week to look for an apartment and hang out before class starts, as well as the immediate benefit of spending more time with John Totten and the Dixons before they had to leave.

I also may be buying a moped. I'll keep you posted.
