Today in class we played with scissors and glue :-)
And also, there was a picture of a baby going *facepalm*

basically it's like play school, except then you have to use words like interpellation about it.

So, that was fun.

But now I'm a teensy frustrated because if I'd known this lesson would be so eminently skipable I could have skipped it and gone to a convention. But I'd have had to know months ago, so that doesn't really work. And also I'm *exhausted*, blinky with tired, and mostly asleep. Like yesterday when I sleeped the whole time.
I always start the term thinking 'lalala, this is not as hard as I recall!'
and then...


So, anyway. I also have an essay to write. I seem to be doing great on the random flailing that might eventually turn into an essay plan part. Or at least I have a list of keywords, which I shall turn into sentences and pour into the essay. And I know lots of useful thoughts about classic Marxist theory and Althusser and Gramsci and Hebdige or however you spell that and really if I write a paragraph about each then I've got me an essay. I just keep on zooming off on tangents rather than, for instance, getting started.


I go sleep now.
Or possibly I go cook pasta and sauce.


We cut up a Dolmio advert for our textual transformation today, so I'm vaguely amused by my food.

My head hurts and I would very much like to sleep
but it is firework season and so random persons decide that really nobody in town needs that


on the plus side I finished reading a book and it didn't suck as much as I expected. Sure, it had all the same flaws as the first book - felt like the whole thing was setup, got to the end of the book wondering if anything had actually happened, there's only one female character in a sea of males... no, wait, tell a lie, there's a librarian too, but their interactions mostly happen in description not proper talking. ANYways, all of that part kinda sucked. But there was a developing gay romance, and so it was not as annoying as I had anticipated.
Also I'm now considering buying the last book in the trilogy solely because surely *something* has to happen, given that it's all ending.
... this is probably not a good plan.



I would like to do reading for college. Headaches and fireworks and being very tired make that plan not a worky plan.
