I've been locked up now for several days, trying to squeeze a big paper out of my little brain, which means that I've been sitting in this very chair and checking my email a whole lot. Waddayaknow? No one sent me anything in the last 30 seconds. These are the times when I start to wonder how on earth I ever will write a dissertation, but that's a whole different thing and we don't have to talk about that right now. In fact, I think I'd rather not, thanks.
But there's a blog I used to read -- a blog that doesn't exist anymore* -- called Best Sentence of the Day. This woman who was writing a dissertation (on game theory, maybe?) posted one sentence every day. I always thought the blog was pretty great for a lot of reasons (and am tempted to do one myself, when the time comes), though I never understood a single one of those sentences.
So today, I bring you a sentence. It may not my best sentence of the day (honestly, I haven't really checked), but I like it. Plus, it's a sentence and it's written:
* Her blog doesn't exist anymore because [ahem] she finished her dissertation.As seemingly simple as a visual leap from one end of a room to another, Wavelength temporalizes space in the way Atlantic spatializes time – Wavelength opens up the interstice and becomes a meditation on the desire for movement, the desire for impure communication.
