Work in Progress

Baseball, Seminary, Wrestling, and the Dreams and Days of one Mike Work's Angeles experience

Tuesday, November 09, 2004

Weeks since I've posted? In my mind, days, for Sunday's 'Paul on eating meat in Corinth/later Wittgenstein' connection, made last Wednesday, got killed by the blogbot (either that or it fell into the moat of errors and time-outs).

Quick thought today on reading for method: Roland Barthes' analysis of Genesis 33 and Jacob wrestling with the angel, or with God, or some mysterious figure. It's like Jacob's adversary was Mitsuhara Misawa, fighting Kawada in a match with equal stature to 6/3/94, and he pulled out the Tiger Driver '91, and Kawada kicks out! That's what Barthes sees going on in the text: Jacob kicks out. He doesn't reverse to a pin, but the 'death move' out of desperation doesn't get the pin, nor the tap out. He takes this thing all the way to the time limit...daybreak.

Now that's cool.
