In which Our Hero is introduced through the use of the Third Person and anachronistic Linguistic Devices

Our hero, Monsieur Boulot Dodo, is:

1) a writer of sorts. That is, a thinker who for lack of anything better must resort to the seduction of his arch-nemesis, Language, in order to convey his thoughts.

2) a philosopher of sorts. That is, a thinker whose thoughts procede principally in conversation with and (principally) against the western tradition of what is called for lack of a less embarrassing word "philosophy."

3) a space cadet of sorts. That is, a product of peculiar genes and a televisual culture and consequentally burdened with a terrible memory, a short attention span, and an extraordinarily awkward, heavy, and enormous supply of bravery in the face of uncharted intellectual territory.

4) appropriately named. That is, fond of sleep, subways, and what he insists upon calling "work." He is terribly unfond of what others insist upon calling "work."


This, the personal log of Our Hero's exploits Dodo-esque, is intended as:

1) a record-keeping and map-making of his forays and explorations into aforementioned forms of writerly and philosophical work to counteract aforementioned terrible memory.

2) a diversion from aforementioned "work" so-called.


Rules:

1) Our Hero will permit himself occasionally, but not often, to use this log for purposes other than record-keeping and map-making. Such uses may include:

* assemblages of words and phrases called for lack of a better and less shameful word, "literary."
* bitter denunciations of The Kids, repeated reminders that they are not in fact All Right, and extended complaints about The Kids' politics, culture, taste, intelligence, and lack thereof.
* dull but strangely compelling photographs of walls
* reviews of films, usually negative, probably containing the phrase "stage play put to film."


2) Our Hero will neither seek nor attempt to entertain an audience.

3) Our Hero will make no attempt to post frequently or regularly.

4) Our Hero will very rarely use anachronistic Linguistic Devices or the Third Person.

5) Our Hero will never use the following words or phrases:

* "worth the price of admission"
* "blog" or any word formed from it
* "rocking the ipod" or any verbal form of the word "rock"
* "class" or any varient thereof if used as an adjective
