I know it wasn't ment to be funny but I laughed and laughed when I read that!

and the dogs shall rule the earth...

I could get boring on this topic ..... I agree with what you said on Tue. I don't go along with that 'Gaia' idea, that the earth is ultimately interested in sustaining human life even if it means acting when the balance is disturbed but i do think of the earth as an organism with a form of sentience and that to it we are a destructive parasite.
For our part it seems to be 'our' (as humans) role to be environmentally shortsighted & be unable to grasp that something has to give: The human population continues to increase regardless of future effects on the planet. "So what if the rain forests are destroyed, I got cheap beef. I don't give a monkeys' about no monkeys".
Oops! Brazil = dustbowl.
Essentially our 'leaders' and industrial conglomerations, and the idiots (see first two), for all their knowledge and (less than a million years of) experience can't see the bigger picture any better than a leopard stalking a gazelle: its only interest is in its next meal, not that the gazelle is the last female of its kind. The earth is bigger than we are & has the means to control any of its inhabitants that damage it. I wonder if viruses which mutate and cause pandemics are the earth's equivalent of our producing a new vaccine?

The seminar was pretty good actually. My favourite bits were as follows:

- a young English Literature lecturer donning a deerstalker and curly pipe to suggest that William Wordsworth and Arthur Conan Doyle were cooler than Lord Byron;

- Erica Carter's suggestion that British and American celebrities are based in a concept of individual identity drawn from Locke whereas stars in 1930s Germany were based on a conception of the individual's rootedness in the nation drawn from Hegel;

- and Rachel Moseley's considerations on the difference between stardom and celebrity. Conclusion: stars are close yet distant; celebrities are just close.

i am me. i am free to change.

used to be how i signed my journal entry every birthday.
i forgot last year...

keep on growin', sista!
(or something less bullshit, perhaps)

Thanks!

The one that I went to the first interview for in Islington. It's not in London though, it's at their HQ. But I should have to go to Islington a fair bit for work.

how are you?

Still 3-4 weeks to come and see the oldy world sites of Hampshire/Dorset. Is you and S'Dog want to?

Hello RAINWOLFKIN,

Great pictures, shame you didn't like the food;.

If you're into the Green Man (an' it looks like you are) have you read 'at the end of my teather' by neil astley? Best contemporary fiction that properly uses folklore I've come across

shhh dont tell no one i like ani difranco

I listened to some Alix Oslon as a result of this journal. I liked it, but I really didn't feel like she was talking for me, I didn't share her experience but I dug what she was saying and the creative way she was saying it.

I hope that whiskey wasn't too much of a hardship.

And I hope you're having a fucking lovely time in Portugal!

Cool. Mine tends towards electroclash/trip hop in places, but we'll see if you like it.

It's in mp3 format, and there are mp3 playlists in each of the folders.

i'm better now! Yay!! i'm eatin ice cream and drinkin frappuccinos again! Yay!!
hey, the day you're leavin is my sis's bday! i got her a limited edition of London Monopoly. she wanted a monopoly.. i gave it to her today. then she wanted to play. i said no. i mean.. monopoly with just two players? c'mon.. that's sooo boring!!

No, it's near the Fire Station. I popped in there the other night, and it's very laid back, very friendly staff. And they've got old photos of their parents backlist on the walls!

Oh, I'm a terrible singer too.

How are things with you?

pretty much the same. busy, busy, busy. except I'm in the same old job, not a new one.

but things are good. I'm glad to hear the same about you.

hey well it sounds like you know whats the problem, so your a step further to fixing it...

but if you fix it than you wont be you


anywhoo yeah i love fear factory... i like demanufacture the album and obsolete best


ahhhhhh what a day

everything you said, everything, rings oh so true.
let me know how curiosity and cerebral overloading workout for you... coz i'll be just behind you, 'round the corner, on my way to follow.

i still haven't figured out whether i am learning for others (in which case, shouldn't i be doing something with it all?... like your good hound...) or just for me (in which case, should I not ditch the pretence?!).

the grapevine muttered something about you getting the job.
what where who when and how much? and how, also?

(i should go thread hunting but its 4.30 and i'm just home from work and i must away to pleep...)

love to sundry
(and keep on thinking: rather too much than not enough!),

Feeling positive about it, but I've got a stack load of stuff to work through, plus uni work to be doing, and we're going away to the lake district for a few days. Yep, I'm working on answers to those questions, have a good book to use, plus lots of stuff form the careers service. Need to get some more company specific stuff.

Definitely a few drinks after. I'll be out of there by 3ish, but can amuse myself with shopping if you and suicidedoggie aren't around to abit later.

I hope it goes well, we'll have to see how the cookie crumbles during the interview. Actually, no - hopefully it won't crumble - it'll be a synergetic cookie.

Sounds like a good probable plan, we'll see how it works out.
