Overwhelmed
August 24th, 2005
Apologies for not posting of late. I have been vaguely overwhelmed, what with my dissertation in end of this week and all that (still had time to do the self-portrait on the left, but let’s not talk about that). Up to the fifth draft and deperately trying to find 1,000 words to trim by tomorrow. Apart from that, all is well, but I haven’t got time to blog…
…which is a shame, because there’s plenty to talk about. There’s the ongoing fallout from the de Menezes murder, and Ian Blair’s appalling mishandling of the situation. I wanted to talk about the Piano Man who wasn’t (aka “Why everyone loves an idiot savant, even when they’re not”); the absurdity of suing a private school because they don’t want your child dragging it down the league tables; the Flying Spaghetti Monster, pseudoscience, satire, and the (distinctly different) challenges we face this side of the Atlantic. After reading Engadget 1985 and wondering “where do all the calculators go?“, I’ve been wondering whether whether Peak Oil isn’t our only problem, and it could be Peak Everything…
But they all need more research, and consideration, neither of which I can afford. But, in a week’s time you’ll be in luck. By then, I will no longer be a panicking master’s student with a rapidly escalating caffeine addiction, but the worst kind of blogger of them all - the unemployed blogger. And then, I’ll have nothing to do but bore you to death with every tiny thought on my mind. Dunno about you, but I can’t wait. See you soon.
