Just Another Gnarly Face

[tmcg]

I've never had a dream about Arnold Schwarzenegger. I've never had much interest in Arnold Schwarzenegger. Someone said in chat the other night, about women who train in martial arts, "Don't we all want to be Buffy?," and my unvoiced reply was "Well, aside from just a really badass me, I'd like to be Sarah Connor from Terminator 2." My SO tells a funny story in which someone on TV or radio brainoed "General Schwarzenegger" for General Schwarzkopf, but I can't remember the details. And I am sometimes known to say "I'll be back" in an Arnold voice. Those are all the connections I can think of between me and Arnold Schwarzenegger. I never considered him as a cultural icon--or a viral complex. I found Dreaming Arnold pretty interesting.

Superficially for cordwainer.

Yeah, but they claim they are going to figure out what dreams are and what they mean. Only academics would say something that ridiculous *g*.

The dreams will eat them. Or Arnold. Or both, heh.

There is more academicspeak rampant on those pages than my poor brain can bear. But I like the word "exegesis" and fully support its wider use. *g*

Yup, I'll be in D.C.! Only for Friday late afternoon through Sunday morning, and I better hurry up and book my Amtrak tickets, but yes. I'm looking forward.
