  • Hard News: Limping Onwards,

    Adding one to the list of Public Intellectuals, my stage 3 PolSci lecturer Joe Atkinson. It kind of relates to Gio's comment above, because if you weren't comfortable with words of multiple syllables, and a bit of meta-analysis, then you clearly got lost looking for the 'oh, is this the humanities?' department. He's written some interesting pieces on teh media too.

    Another Neil Young archival release from one of his country phases.

    I didn't mind this, but not for the purist I gather.

    "The Philosophy of the Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy."

    Do it. Now. Online course would work too with iPhone App with the requisite 'Don't Panic' screen which changed to 'Panic' during exam times.

    trying to grok Javascript which I didn't write

    Metaphorically speaking, I'm doing something similar. Anyone got a Navigating Bureaucratic Dictum for Dummies book?

    what aspects?

    Mostly the quantity. How could so much coherence be manifest in such a short space of time? Decided yesterday not to continue the debate about universities, so all I've got is cheerleading clackers on the sidelines.

  • Hard News: Limping Onwards,

    I find it staggering what has appeared on this page in the past 14 minutes. Just sayin'.

    The Adults

    Have heard that song twice on bFm and squeed on both occasions. Similarly when I heard about this.

    Apparently seeing Jon Toogood and Shayne Carter at Arch Hill gig with The Clean was no coincidence.

    ETA: Snap. Too slow.

    I like to think that it looked something like this.

    I would say almost exactly like. They've all got no pants. What's that all about?

    (I'm surprised I managed to get that joke out without hurling slightly.)

    What joke?

    But seriously, as recently as 3 months ago the people here seemed largely cool, and entirely scary. Then I met a bunch of you and you seem entirely cool, and not really that scary at all.

    But then I've always been a little naive. And just a note, if it weren't for the women here, I probably wouldn't be here at all. No offence to all you lovely men. It's just... no there really is no safe way to explain that.

    Oops. I just made myself lol.

    ETA: Can I quote Meatloaf? 'You took the words...' forget it.

  • Hard News: Perverse Entertainment, in reply to Russell Brown,

    You said somewhere, here or tweer, that it was a blog you read so we don't have to. I'm taking you at your word and not reading it.

    He was anti-Stalinist, but from a firmly socialist position with Trotskyist/Anarchist components.

    That must have been one hell of a party.
