    @ william timberman

    Glad you liked my musings. I tried to read Levi-Strauss, but it just didn't work for me. Whenever anyone says anything is "structured like a language" my bullshit detector goes off. (even Lacan).

    Anyway, although we agreed to ignore the advertisements, the combination of the ads which are obviously specific to Salon, and the ads which are chosen for me personally by Google Ads, in accordance with my personal browsing practice, is freaking me out, because I can't always decide which are which.

    I mean, right now, I have a woman in the right hand column wearing very little except a grin and a pair of brightly coloured panties, on the left I have "learn biblical hebrew", and underneath I have something about "moments of guilt."
