One 5000 word essay down, and 800 words of a 4000 word one to go....not bad I guess, and I pretty much have 4 days with very little else to do, so hopefully I will be essay-to-do-less by the end of the week, with only......DISSERTATION! to go. Maybe I shall get some of that done over christmas, or a bit more research at least.

I am getting picked up to go back home on saturday - yay! In the meantime I must pack. Yipee yay. Although I am also thinking I may take a little excursion somewhere while I have a few days with no lectures and whathaveyou. Thinking Henley looks particularly inviting, what with being all lovely & pretty & also the fact that it is only £2.40 cheap day return on the train - the SAME as it would cost me to get to town & back on the bus :-/ (the slightly disgruntled face is for the bus prices - not the train, which I am thinking is exceedingly....well....agreeable, for want of a more descriptive word. Wicked. Maybe. Hmmm....yesyes - exceedingly wicked.) I could, of course, go to London, but that would cost a fair bit more and I would most likely be exhausted by the end of the day from rushing to see as much as possible, plus I can get there just as easily from home. Nono, I think the mini mission to Henley or some other such pretty place not too far will be best. Although it might be cold. *brrrr*

Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for now!

Its just amazing how everything and everyone on the net is linked...... I just keep coming across the most *bizzare* links between people and sites. I mean, sites that you know, commenting on other sites that you know, despite the fact that the two appear to *wholey* unrelated in any way.

Astonishing!

Well....I reached my target for the day - now up to 3035 words. I could probably write a fair bit more tonight, but I feel that sleep may well be slightly more productive in terms of it allowing me to get up for lectures on time tomorrow morning.

So.... a quick (?) game of bees and I shall sleeeeee. Hopefully....

Well today I ate rice pudding and peaches for lunch, did some washing, read about 5 pages of Richard Sennett's The Fall of Public Man and watched Football Factory, which is basically about football hooligans beating each other up, but actually a good film and I guess quite interesting to a human geographer.....

So now I shall get to it.... WRITE WRITE WRITE!!!

Well today I at least did some of my essay..... I'm up to 1449 words of 5000....was going great until I made dinner then I just couldn't do it anymore.
Oh well. Concentration sucks. I mean, I can do it when I HAVE to....but I have 3 weeks left to do this essay. Just want to get it out the way so I can start my other one and start writing my dissertation up....ugh.

Oh well, at least I finally managed to work out some of the finer details of PSP (yes, I know - I've never used it before - *tsktsk*)

But at least into my non-concentration-enabled brain I am forcing wads of information which may or may not prove to be useful.... I now have many a good magazines bookmarked in my favourites and I must say most of them are somewhat useful, almost intelligent you might say....PAH!

My essay is on the privatisation of public space and whether there is too much fuss made over it..... well I am undecided - for sure there are too many CCTV cameras, too many privatised malls, too many infringements of the right to free speech etcetc in town centres due to private policing and blahblah, but its not at all easy to say that there has *ever* been truely democratic public space anyway. Well, certainly not for hundreds of years.... Its not like everyone was free to roam the streets of the 17th/18th/19th century, or certainly not without being discriminated against, looked down upon, or generally called insulting names. Or something. I mean, in general the coffee houses of the 17th and 18th century were considered the epitomy of the right to free speech and the brain of the public realm - anyone could contribute, put their point across, have a civilised arguement and throw ideas around which, if put into practice could have toppled kings and changed the world. But you had to buy something to have the right to stay there, so you had to have a bit of consumer power, and you couldn't be a woman, incase the conversation was not suitable. Often over the past few centuries you daren't step too far into the public realm without knowing the rules of society - how to be polite, how to dress correctly, and, quite frankly, how to rid yourself of every last iota of individuality you possessed. But then, its not so much different today, you could say.

Aaah - why don't words come to me that easily when I am writing the blasted thing. Not that I write like that in essays.....hmmmm.....anyway.
AND why is it, just when I really should be going to bed I suddenly find the ability to write, and become untired?

Humph.

Most frustrating.

Yes yes - another.

PIFFLE!

My new favourite word.....

Piffle.....piffle.....a whole darn pyramid of PIFFLE!

Appologies to anyone unfortunate enough to actually read my rare LJ entries these days.
I have come to the conclusion that they are useless.
The entries that is....not the people.
Hell no - people are good.
So..... *does* anyone ever read this anymore?
Did they ever?
I expect the answer (to the first question at least) will NOT be in the affirmative.
Oh goodness it is late.

Oh....and the net is very bizzare.....especially when you do a search for Boris Johnson and it takes you to a Who page you knew looooong long ago.
And what was it's reasoning for that? Why spiders of course!!

Ah, Google - thou hath thwarted any intentions I had for an early night (though there were none....)

I need new pictures. I need new icons. I need some slightly more interesting entries. And I need to sleep.

Well yesterday I spent the day doing aaaaabsolutely nothing of any kind of value whatsoever, except mess about, uh well. (Although I did write a page or so of notes, but should have done alot more!)

And today looks unlikely to be any different, but I'll try to tidy/clean room & do bit more work before I go to visit Mark tomorrow, yay!

Now that I have broadband in my room I can wastewastewaaaaste time doing wasteful things but having a bloody good time doing it.
Maybe.

Uh, I mean, now that I have broadband in my room I can use it to do lots of research so I can get all my work done like a good girl.

*uuuuh, uuuh, I'm a good little doggy. I'm a good little dog*




Anywho, looking at endless random sites is making me want to make a site again. Maaaaaaybe, just maybe if I try again it will get further than my computer and a lot of graphics. Even if I just want a site for fan listings, at least maybe I will feel accomplished, lol.

BTW, the kimistuff.com Bernie Ecclestone Cunning Plan Generator is rather amusing. I think some of them are true....

I AM 22% RAVER! Have I even been to a rave? I'll go home. I am a Loser. I suck. Actually, I am probably just a normal person taking this test and don't know why. Take the RAVER test at Fuali.com

I AM 43% METAL HEAD! Most other metal-heads acknowledge my presence, but they laugh at me behind my back. Maybe I need to stop spending all that money on haircuts and invest in a few Pantera T-shirts. Take the METAL HEAD test at Fuali.com

I AM 11% EMO! Okay... so I'm not emo at all.. I am probably not even goth, because goths are just messed up emo kids... I am probably a metal head... or into boy bands... Take the EMO test at Fuali.com

I AM 28% GOTH! Goth ny night, normal by day. Deep in my heart I know I am evil, but not on the company's time. I do need to eat. Take the GOTH test at Fuali.com

I AM 20% GEEK! I wanna be a geek. But I'm not. Why would I even want to be one. Do I think it's fun? I should try writting an online test application at 1 am in my underwear Take the GEEK test at Fuali.com

I AM 51% INTERNET ADDICT! I am pretty addicted, but there is hope. I think I'm just well connected to the internet and technology, but it's really a start of a drug-like addiction. I must act now! Unplug this computer! Take the INTERNET ADDICT test at Fuali.com

Once upon a time there has a young CHEF named MARK. He was CLEVERLY PULLING in the EXCITING forest when he met LONELY PAUL, a run-away AA MAN from the BOLD Queen HELEN.

MARK could see that LONELY PAUL was hungry so he reached into his MAC FOAM and give him his DIRTY MUFFINS. LONELY PAUL was thankful for MARK's MUFFINS, so he told MARK a very HOT story about Queen HELEN's daughter STEPH. How her mother, the BOLD Queen HELEN, kept her locked away in a TREE HOUSE protected by a gigantic PENGUIN, because STEPH was so GREEDY.

MARK YELLED. He vowed to LONELY PAUL the AA MAN that he would save the GREEDY STEPH. He would SING the PENGUIN, and take STEPH far away from her eveil mother, the BOLD Queen HELEN, and STARE her.

Then, all of the sudden, there was a POSH VOLCANIC ERRUPTION and LONELY PAUL the AA MAN began to laugh. With a puff of smoke he turned into the gigantic PENGUIN from his story. BOLD Queen HELEN TOASTED out from behind a TRUNCHEON and struck MARK dead. In the far off TREE HOUSE you could hear a QUACK.

THE END.
