As someone who takes great time and pride over titles in my work I am disappointed in myself. “Lauren’s Blog”, hardly sets the world on fire does it? It’s brief, it’s accurate, but it’s just not sexy.

Today’s plan… I think i might try and pull my finger out and get on with some work on my “Monstrous Geographies” paper. I know what it is basically, I’m going to argue that what makes zombies scary is the way the change our relationship to space, not the fact that they want to eat our brains. I’m considering trying to use Some Bakhtin, but i havent read him since undergrad, and I’m not 100% sure he’ll be appropriate.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikhail_Bakhtin#Rabelais_and_His_World:_carnival_and_grotesque Specifically his work on the carnivalesque.

I love the vocabulary relating to his work. Now I’m off to crowbar “Heteroglossia” into a facebook status update.
