I don't know why this hasn't occurred to me before, but if I have a problem assigning nouns, wouldn't it make sense that I have a problem assigning proper nouns, as well? Maybe an avoidance of meaning is something to work towards; phonemically, "Ae" appeals, and it also maintains the joke to myself.
public performance
There's something about reading in public places that really, really appeals to me. This morning, after consulting with HWiPfI I sat and had coffee outside, reading Barthes and very much enjoying myself. Reading at home isn't the same for me, isn't as satisfying. I suspect part of that is the getting out of home for me, the getting into an environment of people, but I don't know if that's all of it.
different approaches
I am coming to realize more lately that my approach to things may not be as common or universal as I had once thought. I try to absorb, to take in, as much as possible that I'm trying to understand, and once swallowed whole, make sense of it from the inside. I think I may have been warped at an early age by exposure to the Chinese fable of the emperor and the painting of the rooster.
still
Still poking cautiously at the weird bits in my life and past. No progress to report there at the moment, other than that.
