L'Orange Existentiel



I'm not as pretty as Kara (she has such gorgeous eyelashes, no?) so I put up this clip of me peeling an orange. I'm very existential and very French.

  1. ce n'est pas un orange. est-ce une clémentine?

  3. I almost wish you had edited the video so it would've stopped exactly when you opened the orange. Otherwise, it was practically Foucauldian. :)

  5. John, this video disturbed me... I shuddered as that peel tore off those lignified sclerenchyma cells... it was like you were peeling off a layer of skin from your body...

  6. got your letter today. i don't have hangeul on my computer so i can't respond to those bits in kind, but 'soo' is written with the 'ooo' sounding character, not the "oh" one, so just flip that T upside down.

    i've been keeping an eye on this orange business, and i can't keep from responding any longer. so here goes: clementines and tangerines are a variety of the mandarin orange, which is itself a variety of the orange. no reason to attack, no reason to defend. an orange is an orange... but more importantly, are you miming Murakami's "Barn Burning"?

    "Then she peeled a mandarin orange. literally, that's what she did."

    I hope so. Keep posting. Kara, no more fingernail business, SVP.
