As the title says it all. So I turn to Livejournal after so much time :D

This quote came to mind while doing business with the International Relations Office at the University of Zagreb. Needless to say, I sent a sardonic hate mail demanding some explanations. To all four of their email addresses. Getting ready to send them a snail-mail appeal and ( Read more... )

A što je sutra? (Glupan koji bi me čuo, odgovorio bi - četvrtak). Sutra - je vremenska granica između dva budna stanja, između dva znanja o postojanju. Satovi ne određuju sutra. Sutra se samo određuje posjetom Enki1, željenim susretom s Vivijanom2, noću u Dajdamu3, neizvjesnom, potištenom noći u očekivanju prekosutrašnjeg sutra. Večer mi se ljupko ( Read more... )

Hey all. Haven't posted for a long time. My Internet time is mostly dominated by Eclipse Phase nowadays. I've written a short story set in the setting yesterday night. I like to think it's about sophisticated psychosurgery meeting political activism - it's an unique story made possible by the awesomness of EP. No repost in Croatian, since the story ( Read more... )

 Sjedim u tramvaju i vozim se doma s posla navečer. Kraj mene sjede dvije djevojke, jedna od njih s dečkom. Raspravljaju o tome da li će se vidjeti sutra. I kaže prva drugoj: "Mislim, vidjet ćemo se 80% sutra. Od sto." Što reći? Srednjoškolska matematiko, o što si nam učinila svima ( Read more... )

Pitanje intelektualizma je uvijek na kraju dana pitanje higijene. U mom slučaju, to je pitanje one već gotovo patološke krajnosti u kojoj samo spominjanje sintagme pretenciozna zvuka poput 'pitanja intelektualizma' u mnogima izaziva gotovo epileptičko kolutanje očima, kao znak potpune iziritiranosti i buđenja baš tog higijenskog (trebao bi ( Read more... )

 I came home from Rijeka. It was an awesome weekend. People you love but don't have a chance to see other than for a couple of days every year, long nights out, sitting at Rijeka's city squares and parks and feeling the laidbackness of that awesome city. I came to the conclusion that Rijeka is everything that Zagreb should be - urban, tolerant, ( Read more... )

Dune essay part I

Dune essay part II

3. Jung

It could be said that Dune, at least on some level, represents a manifestation and a literature occurrence of Jung's constructs in science fiction especially since Jung's theories had much influence on popular culture in the 70s and 60s and that's precisely the time period when Dune was being written.
