I am now a member of the American Sociological Association

Haha, makes me feel special.

And I now subscribe to a journal, "Sociological Theory."
I suppose that will have to be my "pleasure read" for the time being.

What else?

Yeah, I hate statistics. My stats professor is so crazy. He's a very disheveled Japanese man who can't teach anything in order. He assembled this packet of notes for the course and while he lectures we jump from page 8 to 13 to 5 for every single simple topic. He studies marijuana use...I think HE's the pothead. Well, really, I think he's cute. As cute as the Assmanns (no, really, the name is actually Assmann) who teach this other class of mine, and as cute as Glaeser, my prof./advisor. Man, why are goofy professors so cute? I wonder if I'm going to start dressing really badly when I finally get a prof. position.

I'm now re-reading Capital I, I think I enjoy it more than early Marx now...it's just so deliciously bitter...like dark chocolate, black coffee, or maybe that weird tea I was once given at Oberlin...the one from somewhere in South America that's over-caffeinated and you drink from that weird little teapot that sorta looks like a small bong. I especially love it when he calls the capitalist "Moneybags."

I acquired (for temporary use) a finger-sized boxing glove. I have enjoyed punching everyone I know with it today. I hope Jean doesn't ask for it back.

Thanks, Di$h, for the song. Who's the artist again? I keep forgetting, but I think I need to purchase this album

Ok, back to value, use-value, exchange value, labor, and surplus value.

hope all is well with everyone out there!
