We'll discuss TK in a second. First, pomo. Thanks to the world's worst weather this weekend, I finished the Baudrillard lecture. The links are Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3, and of course, the whole thing is residing on the coachean podcast page. It's three parts, obviously, and mostly it's in pretty good shape except for one section, the problems with which eluded me. The wrong stuff got recorded, then the replacement material was muddy for about 5 minutes. Go figure. Anyhow, if you're interested in Baudrillard and Simulacra and Simulation, here's your chance to compare your thoughts on the matter with mine. I haven't added it to the iTunes syndication, since it's a lecture, not a Nostrum, and one must keep ones ducks in their appropriate rows, mustn't one?
As for TK, well, that's the name of the new cat. That is, name to come, although we are zeroing in on a couple. We picked him up Saturday morning, and he has proven a most zesty young fellow, full of beans and very affectionate. Unfortunately, Pip has yet to warm up to him. PTW has been holing up in Kate's room, just waiting for TK to go away. They have sniffed at each other once or twice, and TK has tried to grab Pip's tail, but that's the extent of it. I'm trusting that a few more days of exposure will convince Pip that TK is staying, like it or not. After all, we got TK to keep Pip company; the whole point of the exercise is awry if Pip finds the company not to his taste.
And of course, TOC is this weekend. And I need to finalize the NFL stuff, which is also due. I'm sort of looking forward to TOC, for a variety of reasons. Ah, Kentucky in the Spring...
