Look here! Look at me! Pay attention to meeee! *jumps up and down*
1. The echocardiagram went well. There were some initial blips (and, also, the jelly was cold and icky) that made the attending frown a lot, but I've been given a tentative all-clear in terms of structural damage, providing that the later follow-up doesn't reveal anything horrid underneath said blips.
2. I'm hooked up to a million wires again, and also I have a box on my hip that bleeps at me occasionally. This is, once more, disconcerting. However, the electrodes are in places less likely to scar, unlike last time (which left scar tissue to deal with, several months later. Bleargh.) which is a blessing.
3. Most important point, OMG. I'm working on the methodology of the never-ending dissertation of DOOM, and require an opinion. I've decided to take Foucault's approach to 'the Gulag question' in examining what functions the Othering of aid receipients serves within a humanitarian aid context. Now, is this just too cheeky for words? Or can I get away with arguing that as previous studies did not examine the functions that Othering serves, they have simply perpetuated the problem?
Or should I just give up and stick my head in a bucket?
(Also, it turns out that Josh Holloway (Sawyer) was in Angel, albeit for just one episode. This is seriously starting to freak me out, guys. A pox on cross-pollination between shows!)
