If boredom were Camille Paglia, would that be interesting?

I was recently disinvited to a dinner with Camille Paglia. That is a shame. Our conversation would have been scintillating.

MORE: I was thinking about boredom lately as I was reading some blog posts. No, not your blog. Is boredom partisan? I was of course not bored. I was very interested. Is it very interesting to talk about boredom? B -O -R - E- D -O - M. It occurs to me that the word "boredom" looks like the word "bedroom" if you read it very quickly. Many lawprofs are boring. Why are they so boring? I need to look up the word "boredom" on the Google. Hold on a sec.

UPDATE: I'm wondering if the stories about nuking Iran are true. Would the nuking be partisan? Or the stories about the nuking?

UPDATE: Kellie Pickler go lickler banana fo-fana-bo-bickler, Kellie Pickler!

UPDATE: Some people say that Robin Williams has made many movies that are a little bit mawkish. What do you think?

UPDATE: Look, a ball of twine! How fun!

Assuming that the negative of that picture of twine wasn't flipped, I'm pleased to see that the twine swirls to the right.

You nearly lost me... until you posted the totally non-partisan ball of twine update.

Paglia is obviously terrified of Altmouse! Just as all MSM is on the run from the power of blogs!

No wonder so few people are getting jobs with newspapers, and so many more are blogging -- it's a sure sign blogging is more valued than "journalism"!

I have a sister named Camille. At least I think it's Camille. We aren't close.

Should someone check Dear Blogress's new apartment and see if she is OK?

Ann, I found some interesting information on the Regents of the University of Wisconsin website, in their 2005-2006 "Red Book", Volume II, Staff Detail, Madison:

Pages 248 and 625 to be exact.

http://www.uwsa.edu/budplan/redbook/book2/pages/pg248.html

It seems you earn $125,846 for the academic year, and another $17,136 for the six week summer session. $142,982 places you in the above the 90% percentile in income distribution, and below 95% according to the census.

Not bad. That and your Audi Quatro and your $800,000 house sold to trade for a condo.

All in all Ms. Altmouse, I would say you did pretty well for a ditzy blond art student.

This is boredom you can afford!

I'm tired of art (drawing bored)
Sex is a drag (in a bore-ding house, I daresay)
Australians bore me (you mean the a-bore-iginals, don't you?)
I'm bored to death (like mortar bored)

Ball of twine.
Still fun.

(Oh, look, a cloud! I think I'll take a picture of it. I have a camera, you know. I take pictures of things with it. Perhaps you'd like to see some of the pictures I've taken. They are very interesting. Hold on a sec, I have some rice pudding in the oven right now, so I must go. I'll be back. Maybe I'll take a picture of some more twine, or perhaps some string.)

Brilliant post! I like twine, too. I wish they would work with twine more on Project Runway. it would be a refreshing change from all that bobbling cleavage i am forced to stare at. and they could use the leftovers to string up the losers. LOOOOOSSSEERRRRSSSS.
