books we bought

Books we bought that we didn't realize we already had

Like Allegories of Reading by Paul de Man

And Spiritual and Demonic Magic by D. P. Walker

And Pandora's Box: The Changing Aspects of a Mythical Symbol, by Dora and Erwin Panofsky

And The Archaeology of Knowledge by Michel Foucault

And La verite en peinture by Jacques Derrida

And The Golden Legend by Jacobus de Voragine

And Painting and Experience in Renaissance Italy by Michael Baxandall

p.s. might be able to cut you a deal on some of these....

Photocopies we made that we didn't realize we'd already made

And things we printed off e-reserve that we already had in our files

And things we printed off JSTOR that we'd already photocopied

Interests we discovered that we didn't realize we'd had before

Kitchen staples we purchased that we already had at home

Spam we got that we'd gotten before

Painkillers we bought that we didn't realize were already in our medicine cabinet

Tamales we ate that we'd already eaten

Lights we left on so the cats could see

talk radio we left on so our cats wouldn't be lonely

old friends we googled whom we we forgot we were out of touch with for a reason

crotches we sniffed that we'd already sniffed before

(to be continued: anyone can add more lines)

Does anyone think crotch sniffing is EVER superfluous?

But Nanders, you still have crotch sniffing.

if i had those damn thumbs i'd be IN that friggin' shopping bag with the items to be returned to marshall's rather than endlessly butting it with my head.

Leave it to those girls to get the broken computer working and log in using my password. I don't think Slim really NEEDS the opposable thumb contraptions.

yeah, slim is right. She's always right. she's so smart! Where is she, anyway? I wonder what she's doing RIGHT NOW......

Of course it's not superfluous! How am I to rule the world one day if I'm not informed as to the current political situation?

From rebecca - 4/23/04 3:10 PM

Personally, I don't find leaving the radio on for the cats to be superfluous.

I went through a period where I kept buying bottles of rice wine vinegar. I really didn't need so many.
Also, my mother has given me the same book as gift more than once. Does she really not remember, or is it something more sinister?

A couple of nights ago I picked up *Without Alibi* by JD and a (so far) delightful collection of shorts by John Haskell titled *I am not Jackson Pollock*.
