Yes, it is still cunning if I tell you all the details because I had to think it up first.
Item 1: My thesis presentation is tentatively scheduled for Friday, April 13 and I am inviting every one to come and listen to me talk about the role of language and performativity in identity formation and reality in Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children. I kid you not. That's really what it is about.
Item 2: I am telling you this so that I have no one to blame but every one of you when no one shows up and my heart shatters in disappointment.
Item 3: I am telling you that my heart will shatter so that you will actually come to my presentation.
Item 4: But you don't have to if you don't want to.
Item 5: Bring rum and ice cream. I have an exam in the morning but who needs to be sober to write, really? Not Hemingway that is for sure.
Seriously, rum and ice cream to celebrate the culmination of my genius. Please.
