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.

kthread:

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—

Slavoj Zizek: The Monstrosity of Christ

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.

I have lunch there every week or two, and while it would be cheaper to have a can of American Coke, I always pay extra for the 12-ounce bottle that says it’s “Hecho en Mexico.” I do this because I believe it tastes better, and I really don’t care why. Spend a few years writing a column about consumer culture, and what you learn is that we all think everyone else’s shopping quirks are weird and irrational — but that our own make perfect sense.

Much more important than working hard is knowing how to find the right thing to work on. Paying attention to what is going on in the world. Seeing patterns. Seeing things as they are rather than how you want them to be. Being able to read what people want. Putting yourself in the right place where information is flowing freely and interesting new juxtapositions can be seen.
