Ladies and gentlemen, I come to you today with egg on my face.

I never attempt to disguise my identity on this blog. My full name is available for everyone to see. And so I must applaud my Satire Professor, Dr Bisla, for having found my blog, having my read my recent bald admission that The Rock is, indeed, satirical, and for rewarding (in the form of a good grade) my efforts at convincing him otherwise, anyway.

How do I know he found my blog? Comment at the top of my paper on The Rock: A fine job. See the film again-- make it a blog topic. :)

I'm tempted to go back and see if I've ever disparaged the character of this clever man, for it would have been a grave error to do so, I see. He certainly has a fine sense of humour if he doesn't hold my petty bitching and moaning against me. I'm sure I've blogged a few "I HATE THIS CLASS", "HE'S CRAZY", "HOW IS THIS A SATIRE?", and "FUCK FUCK FUCK"'s over the past semester. And yet, I came away from the class having been entertained, having read some good (even eye-opening, thank you Baudrillard) articles and even finer works of fiction. I'm not just speaking for his benefit now. I try to blog with no audience in mind. Okay, it's hard when someone winks to you that they know what you've been saying, but this has always been a public page, readable by anyone.

Always keep it in mind, children. If he had misread my complaining as anything but good-natured, I would be a lot more embarrassed right now.
