So I've been working on comps for five minutes...

So I've spent five minutes so far this vacation doing library catalog searchs and already I've had the sort of random, inappropriate thoughts that verge on hysteria for me that I don't usually get until I'm immersed in a paper. I considered giving my firstborn the name Kloppenberg as a first name. When I was working on my history seminar paper, it felt like I was seeing language (or rather, the idea of language and people talking about language- of course language is everywhre) everywhere. It was in my leasure reading, in my other class, in discussions in the lounge. Now, in the past week, it's like I've been seeing biography (or the *idea* of biography) everywhere: on tv, in the newspapers, in the magazine I bought for a plane flight. I've photocopied two articles that I found at random in my leasure reading in the last week to go into my comps binder.
