BTW, though, in case you think that I'm only capable of thinking about basketball at this time of year, you'll be happy to know that A) I spent my morning English 380 class explaining the anthropological, Marxist, and psychoanalytic understandings of the fetish, then applied it to a 1922 bank advertisement from The Outlook; B) spent my afternoon English 489B expanding on a hard-to-follow argument about the way in which the Annales School brand of historiography and the self-consciously postmodern variety, though outwardly having little in common, together represent a two-pronged assault on traditional conceptions of History "with a capital H," then went on to trace the history of hermeneutics, from the early years of the Christian church through Hans-Georg Gadamer; and C) just ate a bunch of stale Cheetos -- the crunchy kind -- while watching the game, confirming the fact that I can transport myself away from domestic entanglements with a few orange-fingered passes through the bowl. Go Bears!!!
