There are many things I like about Kristen, but that she is the sort of person who *has* a favorite theorist is one of the tops. Also, food.
Zizek is my favorite theorist for many reasons—mostly, whenever I miss grad school, I watch video of him expounding and am hugely entertained.
Highly recommend his Twitter account, @zizekspeaks (if only for the bio). Great moment (0:41 in) that culturite points to about consumption—

Killin it as usual. Watch/listen to the whole thing, but especially at 0:41:13 when he slays organic food, Starbucks, Ethos water & consumption as relief of social responsibility.

She kept a textfile on her desktop. At first glance it looked like a lot of mishmash, but upon closer inspection you’d find someone’s name and then under it a giant list of seemingly unrelated words. Red, cats, 6/19, Sirius, Lyle Lovett, Aaron Sorkin.
If she knew you, you had an entry in that textfile. And if you mentioned something you liked, something you wanted, your birthday, your anniversary, your favorite color, what size you wore, she’d make a note of it under your name.
That’s how she was able to surprise people. And she loved doing that.
