The Most Comprehensive Collection of Justin's Writings Ever Assembled in One Place.


(Pictured: An Early Draft of my first sort of complete novel, "The Old Man at Basel"; Love Poems:2003-2005; "The Role of Booty in Lolita:The Seductive Techniques of V. Nabokov" {Unfinished Dissertation};Je Suis Le Cahier: Ideas and Inspirations for Concept of Irony.)


Let us all hope and pray that something will escape the shredder for Wednesday, which is the absolute earliest any of the COI staff expects a new post.

Hey Lexa--my work was not in vain. j.

Justin said...

taihae, maybe if I used phrases like en potentia, then I wouldn't have to shred my work. J

Justin said...

It is probably something really obvious like an abrievation for, 'for example.' But I haven't gotten too much smarter since you left, so don't assume my mind can make such leaps. j.
