Wow. Everytime I get back here, something's new.

Marmelade's recent comment on Dandelife has me rethinking my ideas about coherence in text.

Did anyone else visit Dandelife and immediately feel confident that the metatext or megatext produced would be somehow coherent? I suspect that the insistence on dated entries somehow establishes this. For instance, Marmelade seems to have gone back and found things that happened on a birthday. My thought would have run something like "Gee, look at all these things that happened on that given day that seem totally unrelated." And the very difference, discreteness, of the events makes the metanarrative itself extremely coherent just because they are connected in our thought by their historical moments. And that connection is not at all arbitrary.

Life is a thing in fingers.

Gather this: today Branley handed me a document:

I'm standing in a library in Alambres, the girl in Paris, presumably

OK, Fabienne: footnote.

I suppose :

It kills me that I can't ask the librarian for change: moral training at its finest

So someone analyzes my responses to see I'm too stupid
