I self-reference often. I reference other people often. I repeat jokes, and if my audience doesn’t notice, I let them think I’m just that clever.
I received a text today saying that procrastination is what separates humans from animals. Now, because I am feeling contrary and wish to waste time, I’m reading articles about how monkeys procrastinate. It’s the truth, science fact, published and printed. There is no separation between us and the animals. If I may go “Deep Blue Sea” for a moment, I’m cooking myself in this oven. The accelerated aging machine I’m writing about in this research proposal has just become a metaphor for my whole life.
That’s meta.
