As of last Friday, Aspazia’s a mom! How transcendentally cool is that? [...] […] If anybody’s waiting for Aspazia to respond to this post, you may just as well have to wait for a while.

In one respect, though, I think Roger is, perhaps, mistaken about his announced topic. Roger says: I don’t hold myself out as an entire model of normality, but still, my own experience is derived from the main, and my own experience is that suicide is and always has been one of the normal ‘ideations’ in the longue duree of my experience. It takes on all the technicolor of any object of repeated reflection: at time it is a comfort, sometimes it is a threat, sometimes it is a silly melodrama, sometimes an inevitability. I find this all pretty normal. Now, there are probably human beings out there who don’t think of killing themselves, or who think much less frequently than I do. But it is hard to image that someone committed in some vague way to the arts doesn’t have a lively dialogue going with a suicide double at some point or another. [...] […] I don’t know if it was motivated by this post of mine or not, but Roger at Limited Inc. has an interesting post up entitled “Suicidal Ideation.” I’m gonna have to get hold of the Psychiatry article he discusses.
