sick of myself

175: do you think it's actually possible to bore yourself to death while responsibly reporting on minutia?

meeting w/esteemed advisor scheduled for next week. here's hoping: (1) useful methodological suggestions are forthcoming to illuminate the yet-un-started Chapter 4, & (2) methodological suggestions & other bits of vetted academic brilliance don't result in my being told to scrap many many pages.

not yet.

i'm a firm believer in the value of some good old-fashioned herd-culling. chop that shit to bits. but i'm still at the generation stage. let me make a gazillion pages, say everything i'm trying to say, see the (steamy) heaps of progress-made, and THEN go surgical on what the wide-lens identifies as excess.
