Middlebrow
I'm not highbrow. That's a fact and one that I'm entirely comfortable with. It does mean, however, that I have to interpret some of the lectures. That's also fine. It makes it clear to me exactly what I should have read prior to now and I find that interesting.
I'm not lowbrow either. I'm pretty sure that's also fact. I like to think I appreciate the complex dick and fart jokes as well as the simpler variety. I'm joking of course. It's rare to find a complicated dick joke or a complicated fart joke.
After the core lecture this week I did find out that I'm not even close to being the only middlebrow member of the group. So that made me feel better.
