If I'm going to keep using this high-end laptop, I might as well play with some of its bells and whistles, hence the below:
I'm sure there's a word for trying to describe something with the name of the thing, when the noun form is a homonym with an adjective form, as I've done in the clip with "thunder". For today the name of the phenomenon is "fucking dumb", as in, "It's fucking dumb to talk about the thunder of the thunder."
And yet, in other contexts, at other times, I'd have been struck with the recursiveness, been somewhat awed at the way language wraps back on itself, noun to verb to adjective back to noun, I'd have taken this as a sign of something cool about humans and human nature, I'd have enjoyed riffing at length on the fugue repeat fugue thunder thunder boom. I would have had fun with it. But add visuals and I'm one critical bastard.
At least it's not YouTube.
