ding!

what's it called when you get all excited about something suddenly, and then lose the high in not too long a time? attention deficit disorder, maybe... but that's when you space out in the middle of even the most interesting conversations/lectures/movies. no, this type of thing would be called short-term-animation-syndrome.

well, i have it. i am all excited about an essay. and it comes at a time when my interest in my studio project is ebbing (quite a dangerous thing as deadlines are drawing nearer). this new essay is potentially going to be good for my future in academia...he he; it may even address some of my issues with being devoutly indian in a foreign context, as it is going to be about delhi; and it will be rather challengingly and rigourously researchy for my rather journalistically bitchy writing self. (and, quite unimportantly, it may impress certain european indophiles i know.)

i don't want to get sick of this one, though, and don't think i will, although it's too soon to tell. had the idea about an hour ago...

praps i should just call it commitment phobia when i tire of things, especially since it usually happens just as i start getting deep into them. oh well.
