I confess that I'm really tired of living out of a suitcase.

I also confess that the CT post made me throw up a little. Yeah... nothing to worry about. Analytics aren't out to destroy anything. They're all nice people. Not at all smug.

My favorite part was that apparently none of those famous "arguments" were required to show that the influence of Derrida and Butler was a bad thing.

I confess that people may think my post for the very odd Spivak symposium will be late. But I shall be writing and posting it on Saturday here in Tokyo so it will not be late. I confess that Adam was pretty on the ball about the whole thing and I confess I somewhat regret saying I would take part...

worstward ho!

I confess that the raise I got at work feels inadequit allow it is still higher than most normal COL raises, it's just half of what it has been the first two years I worked for my company.

I confess that because of this I realize that I am a greedy piggy, that really should just suck it up and quit complaining.

Harry from CT should've just contacted the Australian Prime Minister -- he could've helped w/ the crackdown on all things "pomo".

I confess that I only like this cover of Shellac's "Prayer to God" because I think the woman is cute.

I confess that I got kinda nervous when I saw Friday 'disgust' because I worried that there would be no Friday confession. In fact, I got so preoccupied I now can't recall what I was going to confess. So, I'm stuck with confessing to excesses of jelly beans and snack foods while in the Carolinas for the Easter holiday.

I should also confess to being both late with the copyedited ms for the Z book and somewhat snippy with the production manager because I don't particularly like the format of the ms and there are all sorts of mistakes in the ms.

I confess that I just read a comment thread for a Confessional from last year, after using Google Maps to browse through Oxford's streets.

Amish, as far as I'm concerned you should feel under no obligation to take part in something you feel so badly about. Late, early, or otherwise.

I confess continued bewilderment.

I propose that if Amish does still want to participate, he should post here at The Weblog, because I've been trying (on and off) to get him to post here for years, and because it seems like a shame for The Weblog not to have representation at this most august of discussion groups.
Adam Kotsko | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 5:39 pm | #

Amish should post (or not) where he wants, as far as I'm concerned.

I confess I'm pretty pleased with the way in which the symposium page has worked to aggregate posts from a bunch of different blogs, but I'd be pleased at feedback from others.
Jon | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 5:53 pm | #

Jon, I agree that the symposium page is very nicely done -- a model for future symposia.
Adam Kotsko | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 5:59 pm | #

Adam, you go too far. There are a bunch of glitches. But I'm pleased that my pal Brian put me on to trying out a few things in this direction.
Jon | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 6:00 pm | #

The only problem is that my name is misspelled.
Adam Kotsko | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 6:02 pm | #

Fixed. (Actually, eliminated because the link didn't belong.) And apologies.
Jon | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 6:04 pm | #

Sorry you feel that way Amish. It can be short, you know. Or maybe, you know, you could post it to The Weblog first? Whatever.
Matt | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 6:51 pm | #

I think Jon did a great service with the extremely cool aggregate symposium page and that Amish should post on Spivak whether he wants to or not. Perhaps in Japanese.
Jodi | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 11:26 pm | #

Oh yes--and Amish should post it at Long Sunday.

I now confess to inappropriate blogism (a nationalism that extends to about 15+ people in a non-territorial 'space.')
Jodi | Homepage | 04.21.06 - 11:28 pm | #

Sorry about the confession. I've had to pull out due to other commitments, which looks shitty on my part and I apologize. Jodi, Eric, crojas and others posts have been great. There are some issues I have with the twinned definition of the Subaltern Spivak has been giving recently. As (1) a limit-point of logical cognition - a site of radical differance - and then (2) as having something to do with access to that which ensures social mobility that I wanted to address but can't due to the circumstances. Having read the more recent posts I can wholeheartedly say that Adam was wrong and the Sympo has been a success despite the Higher Ec, and the page is cool. For now I remain a commenter.

Apologies to all.
Amish Lovelock | 04.22.06 - 12:39 am | #

Amish, as I said also in email: really, no need to apologize. Doesn't look shitty or anything close to me. Though a contribution in Japanese would be kinda cool. Hell, I at least would have no idea what you were on about. :)

Meanwhile, I remember Gayatri telling me how she'd made a mistake with the phrase she'd used about the subaltern ("the absolute limit limit of the place where history is narrativized into logic"). But just right now I can't remember what she felt was wrong about that formulation.
Jon | Homepage | 04.22.06 - 1:09 am | #

By "limit limit" I meant "limit," of course. Perils of cutting and pasting...
Jon | Homepage | 04.22.06 - 1:11 am | #

I confess that it was ridiculous of me to try to hijack the Spivak event to get Amish to post on The Weblog.
Adam Kotsko | Homepage | 04.22.06 - 8:10 am | #

I confess I didn't know Amish was a man.
Matt | Homepage | 04.22.06 - 12:24 pm | #

Amish--no apologies necessary. And if you post something in Japanese. No one will know that it's not about Spivak! (well, I guess someone could throw it into babblefish or whatever...but that would be spoiling the fun.) Anyway, you are a great commenter and your intuition regarding the subaltern and the limit limit sounds interesting.

I really like limit limit. The limit doubled the limit of the limit. The Real limit. The not taking any more from anyone so there limit. The no turning back nothing going on past here limit. The unhijackable edge to any weblogian absorption manuever limit.

Amish is the quintessence of manliness, manfulness, manhood, und Menschheit!
Adam Kotsko | Homepage | 04.22.06 - 12:37 pm | #

Cool. Thanks guys! Group hug!
Amish Lovelock | 04.23.06 - 8:41 am | #

About that CT post, which I've only now just read (thanks a fucking lot)...well, it's as Jonathan said.

But then, why people still read CT at all is more or less beyond me.
