Humiliation of Myth I

This week has continued to be a difficult mental marathon, even after the rest I gave myself, though I am glad I did. I just passed the finish line as far as my classes go between here and the end of reading week, and in honesty, I am not sure if I can responsibly get much rest during that period. Still, I will endeavour to have an equally productive and restful break. I do not want to risk getting behind, which will assuredly cause me more difficulties than the effort it will take to remain productive, however. 

Anyway... The things I have been thinking of lately (that were all touched on in the gumbo-entry known as "A Seed, a fluff") need to be unpacked, and expanded upon more systematically, but it will take several entries so I will start the series and name them appropriately, so that they can be followed even when I go off track. 

I'm also, probably providentially, on a bit of an "embodiment" kick of late. What does it mean to be embodied, really? I have graduated from noodle-piloting-meat-machine already, but I still find that as far as agency/works, place, and practice are concerned, I would like to do a bit of diving. And oh god, the things that are already swimming. It seems like many of my lessons, personal divings, and social issues all touch this idea.... Argh, my brain. I can't do it right now. But I will. 

Unfortunately I am at the part of the semester where my noodle is getting pretty toasty, so I will have to balance content and quality, which is why I think that doing a series and teasing everything apart will be a good idea for clarity's sake for everyone involved. I am excited to get started, anyway. 

I have an entry half-formed about Project Homeward Bound (PHB) but I think I'd like to talk about about this embodiment issue once before then. Possibly later today or tomorrow. Until then...
