- The new surge of domesticity/craft/whatever, how it’s been affected by postmodern and feminist sensibilities, how it’s a spiritual activity, a Reformed theology of the household (which I do think is possible to piece together, it’s just that no one who’s a theological conservative has really written anything on it that I’m aware of), how this is portrayed in postmodern literature. This may have to become a thesis-length thing.

- It’s like Hosea, only he’s a New York cab driver named Jeff. Her name’s Erin. (Heh, Jeff Almighty—somehow, I don’t know if Hollywood would be too keen on this one.)
- A research project on my own family history.
- Rent as postmodern manifesto.
- All I have here is the title: “Fluid.”
