THIS THESIS FEELS LIKE IT WILL NEVER BE OVER!!!!!!!!

...and then I have to do one more paper on Derrida. What the crap can I say about Derrida that hasn't already been said??

At first, I was freezing to death in this library...

Now I'm suffocating to death.

Ahhhh. When will this thesis finally be over? I wish to frolic in the sun like a young, nubile girl, coming of age.

Now I know too much and let me tell you, there is bliss in ignorance.

Engulfed in my work, everything that was a problem yesterday seems like the problems of a million years ago.

You know what I find very strange and a little bit irritating ( Read more... )

Also, lately I've been missing Canada a lot... but not the Canada that I know, strangely enough. I miss camp fires and chilling by the lake, and drinking beer, playing cards, shooting the shit, driving to strange places - possibly nowhere.

...especially when I have a crap Brandy ("What about us?") song stuck in my head at the same time. How is that even possible??

I have been reading this damn Pynchon book for god knows how long now.
And now I'm almost done but realise how little of it I actually understand.
Stupid post-modern literature.

Anyone else my list into Euro2008?
Hup Holland Hup!

A bunch of us cultural analysts rode to the beach (TWO HOURS... one way!!) and I just found our beach reading material so typically pretentious, yet hilarious and so appropriate for who we are.

Inga: Kafka (in German)
Nathan: Badiou and Deleuze
Myself: Pynchon

No wonder I feel so inadequate amongst these people.

I know a man who will spend his life repairing and preserving old films.
It might just be the most romantic thing I've ever heard.
