Memo 1 I find it quite difficult to comment on someone’s talents, neuroses and habits. What should I say, “No, you’re lying to yourself.” However, you seem to be mentioning things regarding memory quite a bit…but you don’t mention anything about note taking…which is probably something you should do if you have memory issues (which means writing in hard-copy books, for one thing). You say you like tech…maybe carry a recording device around of some sort? I don’t know why you’d have trouble with conclusion if you write intros well…all you really need to do is restate the intro (by including stuff on how you answered the questions presented in the intro). If you want a calendar…my mom is always sending me some if you want one. Could your lack of follow through be related to your memory issues?

Memo 2 I like the history of moral panics topic…have you seen the recently published book //The Ten Cent Plague//? It is about comic books and the feared moral scourge…quite similar to Video games I believe…would be worth checking out methinks. Seems like there is always a moral panic about some youth thing…are there any good theories on this…should you come up with one? The construction of crime is definitely related with the latter two topics…that is “the abnormal” and the “criminal”…definitely interplay. You should probably look at some cultural studies literature…no suggestions exactly, but the latter two topics seem cultural studies-ish.
