can't think of a subject line
Dec. 16th, 2003 10:11 pm- I've had one of the worst weeks since the onset of this depression thing. No need to tell more.
- A colleague at uni hanged himself two days ago.
- They've advertised the Head of Department job externally. They want an artist for it. I am not an artist.
- I have bought family tickets for RotK for Saturday, second row from the front (I love being near the front). Am still sceptical and I expect the worst (after TTT, which continues to disappoint me no end).
- UK TV alert! 11.35 pm tonight, BBC1: LotR special with Jonathan Ross and 'stars from the film'.
- Am reading Jonathan Franzen's The Corrections after having given Donna Fartt's [sic] Little Friend the boot after 120 pages.
- Film seminar today: one (I repeat: one) student turned up. It was not EB.
- However, I did convert both the helpers to Dil Se! (Note: helpers are former students, mostly mature, who have jobs helping disabled students; they take seminar notes etc.)
- I tried to implement![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
badgermonkey's Christmas amazon CD/book strategy but have so far bought nothing online. :-(
- I'm looking for jobs. None so far.
- I remembered that I'm giving a paper at the international superbiggie conference of my field in August 2004 so began to write it in a panic today. Only 8 months to go! Shit. It's on genr.e painting and narr.atives of na.tionh.ood. (The dots are there to prevent this post being googled by my colleagues...)
- I really enjoyed The Castle with Eric Bana, courtesy ofblithesea.
- The children want guinea pigs.
- Dom did not stand next to Karl.
- Karl did not stand next to Dom.
- All the premiere pics, except for Wellington and the kiss one in LA, are crap and fail to inspire me.
- Is Hollywood eating the world?
