Don DeLillo love
I’ve been re-reading Don DeLillo’s White Noise which, like The Waves, talks A LOT about death. Since it’s late at night and I’m just about to go to bed I’m not going to post a quote about death; but, instead, an incredible - goddamn Mount Olympus - quote about writing.  Whenever anyone asks me what my favourite book is Mao II always comes to mind.

Hey Tumblr, I am coming back for a bit of sanity and the chance of a place to express myself in a form I can’t find anywhere else. I’ve had a week filled with far too much reflection on mortality for which I blame the literature course I’m teaching (I know, First World problems). Death didn’t seem quite so visceral back when I was studying literature in my immortal early...

When you just need to Numa
I just got some cross-platform, cross hemisphere, reblog love from one of my roller derby homegirls out in NZ, for a Numa Numa tribute to my new colleagues that I did by way of breaking the ice. Here it is: And here’s what she posted. I like a big virtual embrace a lot, so thanks Toto! Find her on her own blog - The Skater’s Journey - it’s a must read if you’re into...
