What happened to me happened so suddenly. I wasn’t aiming for it. I’m scared it’s gonna disappear, I’m scared I’m gonna make the wrong choices. I’m playing in an arena in which I have no experience whatsoever. I’m wary of just being the drunk girl. That’s a big fear. It’s interesting because there is something that is absolutely sacred about it to me, which is that its okay to be silly and free and have these moments. There are unexpected truths, unexpected epiphanies. but I was in meetings with TV people in l.A. and they were like, “We think you should do my drunk laundry machine and my drunk pool fame game31 and my drunk this and be the official drunk girl.” And I remember being like, “No, I’m not interested in that. I’m interested in comedy, I’m interested in truth, I’m interested in relaxation and people letting themselves go and letting their hair down a little because it’s a safe place to do it.”</p> </blockquote> <p>-Hannah Hart, star and creator of “<a href="http://hartoandco.com/my-drunk-kitchen/">My Drunk Kitchen</a>” on the precariousness of online fame.</p> <p>Excerpted from <em><a href="http://thenewinquiry.com/publications/magazines/">The New Inquiry Magazine, No. 1: Precarity</a> </em></p> </blockquote><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~4/rdOIlGNdDYE" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~3/rdOIlGNdDYE/17348896283http://irunfrombears.com/post/17348896283Thu, 09 Feb 2012 20:44:58 -0500http://irunfrombears.com/post/17348896283“Hesperus Press has raided Woolf’s volumes of critical writing and rescued four lesser-known literary essays, grouping them under the title On Fiction. Each essay brims with insight and interpretation that is conveyed stylishly and authoritatively. Here is a writer expounding on the secrets of her craft. In one essay, “Women and Fiction”, she classifies criticism as one of the few “sophisticated arts”, something seldom practised by women, at least in 1929. She foresees more women tackling and mastering it, albeit in a “golden” future when they will no longer have to protest to be heard, being enfranchised, financially and socially independent and with “a room to themselves” – a reference to her most celebrated critical work, “A Room of One’s Own”, published one year earlier. The essays are bound by ideas that are perceptive and prophetic. She scrutinizes the worth of literature past and present but goes the extra mile to consider if it, and its practitioners, can improve and increase in value in the future.”<br/><br/> - <em><p><a href="http://therumpus.net/2012/02/perceptive-and-prophetic/">Perceptive And Prophetic - The Rumpus.net</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.hesperuspress.com/Web/pages/bookdetails.aspx?bid=613">Hesperus Press</a> publishes critical works by Virginia Woolf.</p></em><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~4/Z30g92PH7d0" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~3/Z30g92PH7d0/17329228601http://irunfrombears.com/post/17329228601Thu, 09 Feb 2012 15:04:08 -0500litvirginia woolfhttp://irunfrombears.com/post/17329228601<a href="http://flavorwire.com/257636/an-essential-postmodern-reading-list">An Essential Postmodern Reading List</a>: <p>Includes:</p> <ul><li>The Recognitions</li> <li>Infinite Jest</li> <li>Gravity’s Rainbow</li> <li>Pale Fire</li> <li>The Sot-Weed Factor</li> </ul><p>And more.</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~4/n24hBo3z48Y" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~3/n24hBo3z48Y/17329043367http://irunfrombears.com/post/17329043367Thu, 09 Feb 2012 14:59:58 -0500litbooksreading listshttp://irunfrombears.com/post/17329043367<iframe width="400" height="299" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/nw3zNNO5gX0?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p>Save the Troy Library “Adventures In Reverse Psychology” (by <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nw3zNNO5gX0&">LeoBurnettWorldwide</a>)</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~4/sH3Ou4CyadY" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~3/sH3Ou4CyadY/17325993087http://irunfrombears.com/post/17325993087Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:39:32 -0500litpoliticsbookslibrarieshttp://irunfrombears.com/post/17325993087<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz50qihSDo1qzbmqwo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>(via <a href="http://imgur.com/a/N74Pm">Happy Valumtime’s Day - Imgur</a>)</p> <p>Creepy Valentines cards.</p> <p>(found on <a href="http://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/pgji0/here_are_some_valentines_day_cards_for_you_guys/">Reddit</a>)</p><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~4/xZrQnm4kPuc" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~3/xZrQnm4kPuc/17324663064http://irunfrombears.com/post/17324663064Thu, 09 Feb 2012 13:01:00 -0500http://irunfrombears.com/post/17324663064““In early August 1936, Joyce had sent his grandson ‘a little cat filled with sweets’ – a kind of Trojan cat to outwit the grown-ups. A few weeks later, while in Copenhagen and probably after hunting for another fine gift, Joyce penned ‘Cats’, which begins: ‘Alas! I cannot send you a Copenhagen cat because there are no cats in Copenhagen.’ Surely there were cats in Copenhagen! But perhaps not secretly delicious ones. And so the story proceeds to describe a Copenhagen in which things are not what they seem,” said Herbert. “For an adult reader (and no doubt for a very clever child) ‘Cats’ reads as an anti-establishment text, critical of fat-cats and some authority figures, and it champions the exercise of common sense, individuality and free will.””<br/><br/> - <em><a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2012/feb/09/james-joyce-childrens-story-cats-copenhagen?newsfeed=true">James Joyce children’s story The Cats of Copenhagen gets first publication | Books | guardian.co.uk</a></em><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~4/xl5MAsw2uU4" height="1" width="1"/>http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/IRunFromBears/~3/xl5MAsw2uU4/17324492942http://irunfrombears.com/post/17324492942Thu, 09 Feb 2012 12:56:37 -0500litjames joycehttp://irunfrombears.com/post/17324492942<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz508rkf351qzbmqwo1_500.png"/><br/><br/><p>A 12 year old reviews <em>The Hunger Games</em> at Amazon.
