I must agree with Kari that today was certainly a day of "wowser" blogs. I too am thoroughly impressed with some of the blogs that people have created and hope that those who have not yet jumped on the Pater bandwagon soon do!! (As does Dr. Sexson)

I have yet to look at all the blogs Dr. Sexson told us to...I am a bit overwhelmed to say the least! Where did all this marvelous blogging come from?! Epiphanies? I think so!! I admit the one I wanted to see first was Tai's...perhaps he has some word of wisdom on my addiiction to Keats...or perhaps Jon Orsi's addiction to Samuel Beckett which we have also discussed in class.

I realize that "the twelve step programs are based in forgiveness" but who or what do I have to forgive? I am simply in love with two eaxtraordinary men...or perhaps not THEM but their WRITING! Anyways...I am quite content with my obsession at the moment even if some people think I am dysfunctional.

Taylor's presentation was great because I began to think later that even though I am in a class in which we focus on epiphanies I still have not sat down and fully thought about what an epiphany is! So, my next activity...to procrastinate on french a little more (because getting yelled at in french once for not doing my work was just not enough "C'est incroyable classe! Moi, JE TRAVAILLE mais vous?). Ok- it really wasn't funny BUT... I decided I am going to sit down with a blank piece of paper and draw or write anything that comes to my mind when I think of epiphany! I am so excited! And then i will scan in my thoughts page of epiphanies :) Thanks Taylor for motivating the artsy creative side of me if there even is one!

I also read Pat's blog on sensations in regards to Pater. Honestly, when I read this passage I never thought about the mundane or the sensations connected. Instead I thought about the line that separates the real and imagined. "Between two worlds become much like each other" (eliot 54). I connected this to Paters worlds and then of course because I am OBSESSSED i connect it to Keats and how he talks about moving from place to place and moving beyond the vales...to the world of soul making. It all circles back to Keats. The "perpetual weaving and unweaving of ourselves" is like who we transform into through all these moments and experiences. But when we change what do we feel? I don't even know if this is making sense because I am confusing myself now and my mind is focused on the sharp hunger pains because I have not eaten yet today!

Once I feed my body I will connect back to the blogs and catch up!
