I hate Freud. With a passion.
_jibberish_ says:
Yeah. He's a moron.
prairiedaun says:
see, some of what he's saying here makes sense for semiotics (which tells you how screwed up semiotics is), but trying to relate him to semioticians who were writing half a century later? hard. Especially when I can't find any good info on it.
prairiedaun says:
and oh god, don't get me started on the nightmare of Freud and post-structuralism. I have no idea what I'm going to do with that.
prairiedaun says:
Oh man. I sound like such an academic wanker.

And this is me in a good mood because I'm just over half done this section on Freud. Except possibly not really, because about a hundred words init are Freud's, so just half of barely over the minimum. Or something. I need to stop referring to the wordcount tool, and just write, but I can't because it's hard and I hate it and wah. I'm stopping complaining now, because I already had a mini-tantrum about this earlier and the only good it did was force me to take a shower (don't ask.)

I really want to watch some Hornblower or Sharpe right now. Damn. And damned_colonial, commodorified and fairestcat have really piqued my interest with this whole Georgette Heyer thing. Hrm. Unfortunately, I won't have time over winter break to read any. Damn.

You know what would be brilliant right now? Going to sleep and having one of those weird Sharpe/Hornblower crossover Mary Sue type dreams I have sometimes. Dammit. Stupid semiotics exam.

*back to the grind*

Suck my non-exstant-so-I'm-obviously-envious dick, Freud!

...erm. I finished the section on Freud. And surprisingly, with not too much bullshit. Oh, you'd better believe that it's still there, but not as much as I'd thought. Now: do I stay up and push through the night, working on situating my own work, or sleep? Sleep is good.

I'dd go over _jibberish_'s editing suggestions, then go to bed.

Woot!

Stupid telemarketers phoning when I've just had an epiphany, making me lose a really good idea, as well as my groove.

Bah.


ETA: Ooof. I'm stalled on the conclusion. whine, whine, whine...I'm sorry for subjecting people to this, but I must vent. Wah!

Why can't I write this conclusion? Aaargh!

mission accomplished

Done!evem if the conclusion is crap, it's done. Yay!

Now to go hand it in, then try to get some OE learning in before study group. Or get some marking done. Aargh.

Yay! I'm hopefully not going to fail!

Watched the lst half of LotR:FotR, and then the last quarter of TTT. Cried like a baby at Boromir's death and the last march of the Ents-charge of the Rohirrim. Oh man, I wept for Boromir.

Which brings me to this: Winnipeg area people, on December 28th I am hosting a LotR:Extended Extravaganza. All three extended movies, starting from noon until whenever we get through the last one. Bring chips, drinks and a little extra cash for pizza or whatever we decide to get. Oh, and RSVP on this as well (either prairiedaun(at)gmail(dot)com, or my home phone number if you have it).

Am v. worried about powrhug Oh sweetie. Nothing but good, supportive thoughts for you right now. Same goes for pyroclasticgrub and littlemspoogie, for vastly different reasons.

Love you all so much right now. *squishes everyone*
