10. A Literary analysis of Salsa’s Me

Double-Graduate student in the fields of Early Twenty-first Century Mediated Communications in an age of Male Dominated Multi-Media Confusion, Subversion, Aggression, and Hostility and Advanced Culinary Theory of Embedded Wafer Design and Application . . . Freida Snintnonerlynn, could not, unfortunately, be reached for comment.

In a later voice mail, she explained, “I’ve analyzed every entry in this blog, every word, every mark of punctuation; I’ve deconstructed the syntax, the style, prose, and use of metaphor, and I can tell you it’s all about the setup and the joke. This man—I can’t say his name, I’ll have nightmares—mocks the very idea of blogging and, thusly, (she actually said thusly, we have a recording of it) he’s mocking us all.”

After a long gap in the tape, she continued, “Oh, the poor bastard. If I could, I would feel sorry for him, but since he’s a man, I don’t feel that sorry for him.”
