Set the scene:

Bronislaw Malinowski was born in Cracow, Poland, in 1884. He studied the 'hard sciences' there to postgraduate level, but sickness forced him to set aside his intended doctoral research; instead he focused on the infamous The Golden Bough by Sir J. G. Frazer. Attaining the highest possible distinction, he then went to study Chemistry at Leipzig, but shifted to experimental psychology and...

"how can one seemingly bright girl make something so simple seem so complex?"

It was him- they need things spelt out in that part of the world! wink

stop the world,
i want to get on...

a. i have a proper mullet now. & asymetric to boot.
this lady wins the points though, mister doggie. first come first serve and all that, what.

b. when did everything become so complex?

paraphrased:
when you argue for your limitations,
sure enough they become them.

and it's true.

Damn exciting, Dude. I think I mentioned we're just about to start two regular evening classes here?

Looking forward to meeting up at the park. smile

a long conversation ensues in which much is bared but to little avail.
i tried the heart/head argument as well. don't think it worked...
the occasional wretched silence sits awkwardly. balls. oh well. onwards.

on an upnote:
i danced lastnight like, and i quote from my ramblings in celeste's journal, like a mother-fucker. and today, between the capoeira, the cycling to and fro, and...

Is that last quote a line from Dune?
suicidedoggie:
The good Dr is doing quite well. I've been v pleasantly entertained by it and especially the jokes (about his northern accent, Iraq, his assistant's chaviness, etc.). A certan someone actually gets a bit scared by the aliens sometimes.

We're about to start two evenings a week of capoeira. Some dude from Philly came by and as luck or something else would have it he enquired about booking one of our halls moments after a regular booking suddenly came to an end.

Celeste is hilarious ^^^

The service I run is low cost - 2-20 a weekly session. Thankfully I get paid independently of this income! But the client fees do largely off-set the admin and supervisor costs of the service.

I appear, once again, to be procrastinating. I need to get stuck into essay numero dos... waaaaaaaaa

well, after much hooming and harring, the beard has officially left the building. for how long? who knows.
i was between dvds on an apparently declared film day, disappeared upstairs, suddenly, and without planning.
and came back down to the living room sans fuzz.
celeste will be disappointed.

as for the rest of the advice, i followed the heart & feel much better.
however, things...

I can remember, during the curious year that was 2001, sitting in a car with a girl i was kind of fooling around with at the time. We were parked outside of my flat in Archway, the location of such previous foolery-filled sessions... but this time, she wasn't coming in. I, being 21 and unversed in the ways of womankind (like I get you crazy...

Isn't it a georgous day today in dirty old London town? WHy am I sitting here working on pesky html when I could be just up the hill and around the corner lying in tall grass on the heath?

I'm not sure there's a good reason.

How are you today? More essays?

you're all so lovely! yes you are!
even the unnamed individual who thought my screen-name was
so inadequate. (ahem, adthrawn; who bateman thought I was...).

well, i smell like bar, and am more than a tad tipsy, so...

before a morning (and day and a half) of long words and much tea.

OK, so Dance Me to the End of Love is firmly stuck in my mind and is rolling around in there like a drunken condemned circus performer.

Oh, the ecstacy, the pain, the wonder. I weep.

One essay down! Woohoo!

Okay, so not quite. That should read:
First draft of one essay down (behind schedule, but nonetheless woohoo)! Woohoo!

Nope, it still just links through to my wish list. The only way I could figure to get an accurate link was by clicking the 'tell people about your wishlist' link, emailing it to myself, the getting the properties of the link in the email. Pallaver. Maybe I'll have to buy you someit now!
bondgirl:
What are your essays on? I have a whole bunch of papers\essays to write as well, and I am putting it off to just sit on my ass and look at the computer screen.

Sha! I wish I had a mullet!!! I'm going to go look and see if you have pictures of your hair looking mullet-y!!! I hope so!

the paragraph i've just given up on so i can bugger off to work reads:

"If we are to correct this century old schismatic tendency and recognise the actual vitality of Time, I do not believe that mere communication with other relevant disciplines will be enough. Certainly interdisciplinary work, such as that of Sahlins and Wolf, is a step in the right direction,...

I think I like the word because it has lucid in it. I like all references back to that Latin luxe. Well I must admit my knowledge of Latin is slender, so maybe I have the wrong root, but they go together in my mind.

Zephyr is beautiful. And those were always romantic tragedy to me in my youth, that image of the doomed airship, the Hindenburg. Oh wait, I'm thinking of a Zeppelin.



Xyloid isn't half as pleasing to my ear. And it doesn't even sound like what it means. No, I don't like it.

If you've got that album, I'd go with...
Something Bigger, Something Brighter
All Medicated Geniuses
The Teeth Collector
This Is Our Emergency
Blue Lights

From the last album, I'd say;
The Getaway
Speakers Push The Air
Ghosts In The Radio

Not that I;m addicted or anything...

Alright. I am already jealous of the profile pic that looks no only like a passport photograph but a good passport photograph.

EDIT: And damn, I do Math. And some scientific writing also. That up there ^^^ *whoosh* some damn good stuff.

two essays devoid of point;
one inappropriate venting of bottled wrath;

sexiest word? - cunt
the most seductive? - enchant
the most ridiculous? - pumpkin
most deplorable? - rape
and the greatest? - flummoxed

The context is to write the content for a careers website - articles about industries, govt trends, career paths etc... smile

ahhh yes
the always popular gift of herpes
well at least it gets better with time

as for words...cant think of much of anything specific
though lately ive been rather fond of words that in my mind have a rather British slant to them
like rodgering
cant really picture the average american saying that
but somehow coming from him it just sounded so normal
and i was greatly amused

I've been feeling a twinge.

I think I recognise it, though it's been a while. Normally it twists and turns somewhat more, as it gets a hold in my gut and digs itself deep, deep within. It cuts like a pro, usually: in and up.

This is no amateurish assailant I bewail. This is no sometime hoodlum, no part-time gangsta; This is the real deal....
