Campus mail is down yet again. This is what happens when you lack IT leadership (the last head guy was fired; no one has replaced him yet).

Random thoughts:

  • I have fallen from first place in the tournament I'm in. I'm now tied for third. Dang you UNC!
  • I'm eagerly awaiting Tim to bring the New Glarus over today
  • In the Detroit class, I asked the class (before mail went down) to consider Barthes' usage of neologisms to define a state that no existing word covers. Barthes' example is a new word to describe China-ness ("Sininess"). So I asked: what kind of neoligism could you create for Detroit? Stephanie's response is briliant:
    De'boughetto - Detroit Bouguesie Ghetto: Those who live in big houses in what
    'used to be' middle class but maintain the appearance of middle class status.
