It was about, like, not putting things off and stuff, procrasti-thingying, and looking before you leap, and thingy. (Sorry, I'm not good with big words). Some of those words in there should never see the light of day, no matter how succinct they are in context. 'Disequivalnce', for example. Sometimes 2 words *is* better than 1.

I'm not in Glasgow yet, still waiting to sell my stupid blooming flat in London. Grrr. Although theoretically I have started my PhD already, so I joined Senate House again on Saturday so I could actually borrow some books. I bet you'd like Barthes' 'Camera Lucida'. It has lots of pictures in it. I don’t like Freud much, but it is good to stick bits of him into your essays… I’m not in Glasgow yet, still waiting to sell my stupid blooming flat in London. Grrr.

The text is actually about 20 bits of text from all the books I've got layign around... come to think of it it <i>may</i> make more sense than the actual books. Good tip Gambs (how is Glasgow going?), I have a few Readers as core books and they are the most helpful. Although, I did read a Roland Barthes essay yesterday and it actually made sense - go me! I suspect I shall learn a lot about bullshitting but I still have a passionate distaste of Freud - no one can make me like him or how his theories are appplied to images. Thanks peeps!
