cleolindaTired. Spent the day working on book samples to send to Orion. The Matrix seems to have gone over like gangbusters, so that's good. Also, I've been reading cultural studies-type stuff for my "Aesthetics of Sentiment" class--it's the kind of thing where I understand each word individually, but then they start talking about the current post-terrorism, post-identity hegemonies devaluating the personal-as-political and promoting universality to the detriment of subjective viewpoint, and I wake up half an hour later with print on my face from a drool-dampened course pack.
Poor Lucky Dog was sick and spent all of yesterday under my desk moping. He spent the morning at the vet and came back a lot friskier, bless his heart.
Oh, and Vladimir has put up his CV, if you'd like to know more about the Squishy.

Date: 2005-01-14 09:27 am (UTC)Thanks for all your comms! Thing is, would you like to have done all that and be stuck doing reviews and translations which get linguistically decimated for years on end? ...Isn't much of an accomplishment if you look at it that way, really.
no subject
Date: 2005-01-14 09:33 am (UTC)well even if i did look at it that way it's still bloody impressive since i only had two jobs in my life (and i'm the same ages as cleo)
working at a newpaper-stand for six months
and working at a friends bakkery till the friendship exploded (long messy story :p)
but true it must not be pleasent to have done soo much and not reached your dream yet... i wish you all the luck with that ;)
but like i said... my cv would be eum very short... infact IT IS short ;)lol since i don't have a degree of anything... (except maybe bugging people online - i would sooo graduate 'cum laude' ;))
best of luck in achievin your dream ;)

Date: 2005-01-14 04:15 am (UTC)Lest you get a big head, from what I've got available here at school it was either that or Good Omens, and I don't fancy trying to emulate the Pterry/Gneil tag team if that's what our professor's getting at. Still, *shamelessly flatters*

Date: 2005-01-14 07:32 am (UTC)My advisor, a radical lesbian separatist, was really big on heaving stuff like that at us in the few classes I took under her. I found the best way to deal was writing papers on one of her pet subjects, then establishing some kind of overarching premise like "war is bad" (for instance) and then slinging as many strung-together phrases as the above togaether as I could manage. I passed the classes. Either she was giving me good grades out of cynicism because she saw through me, didn't give a shit, or really thought I knew my stuff, I came away with a good GPA. Just to pass that along.

Yep, quite a lot of them down there already.
