Wish I could get "stay" to work on my new pup.

Been using Pavlovian methods, which were pretty successful for "come"
and "go in your house."

I'm not anti-Derrida or anti-theory. I just don't see what
post-modernism has done lately for the deplorable state of the planet.

As far of litcrit is concerned I prefer to read Pynchon, not interpret
him. (impossible everyone will immediately say)

Not that I'm particularly ready to break out my Susan Sontag either.
