Regarding "OUr Celebrities, Ourselves"

Thursday, December 9, 2010

Here is a link to the essay we read for week nine, I think it is. Maybe ten? Anyway Here. It is called "Our Celebrities, Ourselves.
I thought this essay was super well-written and thus, almost entertaining. But at the same time, it's boring. I find that a lot, especially on the internet and in magazines: little articles or essays or whatever are very, very well-written, but they're still just so many words on nothing. On one hand, I'm tempted to say "What's the point?" because, well, that's what I say to EVERYTHING. But, on the otherhand, I guess sometimes these boring non-articles are simply super articulate versions of our own thoughts so I can almost see the appeal. I mean, they're just kind of wandering and pointless, just like our thoughts, and explore... exploratory? Is that a word? Can I make it one?

But just how very articulate and well-worded they can be can really be the appeal. I wish I could make my pointless thoughts that clear.

Or do I?
