Emily Skahill

Tion,Uqbar, and orbis tetrius are apparently planets that are in complete chaos. Borges writes about their totaltation ways. In Tlon everything is very idealistic. But i can't imagine not living in a world with nouns. does anything actually exist? i guess they do, but we can't really call them anything. they describe by using adjectives. it seems so strange but i guess if i lived in a world like that it wouldn't be ALL that strange. i really don't like reading Borges, it's really obnoxious and wordy, and very boring to me.
