Why pack when I can blog?

Well, I fly out to New Zealand today for the Film and History Association of Australia and New Zealand conference. Then I'm back for a couple of days next week before heading off to Germany for another conference and Finland for research (and Christmas).

The one where I whinge about preferred suppliers

I'm heading off on a conference/research trip in just under two weeks, so it seems like a suitable time to share some thoughts about the university's preferred supplier-approach to travel agencies. (you may already have guessed where this is going...)

Ricoeur Cake

Okay, the recipe technically calls it a "5 Minute Chocolate Mug Cake", but since I left out chocolate and was having a break from spending my entire Saturday getting my head around appropriation, mimesis, time and narrative I chose to call it a Ricoeur

Caveat

I've noticed many theses seem to include some kind of caveat in the preface or elsewhere early on. I've found I don't quite know where I sit with them, so here is a loose rambling on about exceptions and clauses... "Such-and-such is beyond the scope of

Overheard on Campus

Guy on phone: But someone has to turn up as John McCain! Otherwise I'll look like an idiot being Sarah Palin on my own. Happy anticipation of Halloween, everyone...

I think I'm going to cry.

Saturday (for want of a wittier title)

I spent a completely negligible amount of time all weekend thinking about my thesis. Bliss! Ben organised a nice little surprise over the weekend: he secretly bought tickets to the Wil Anderson show 'Wilosophy' at the Octagon on Saturday. As you may well

You're standing on my superego.

My thesis may be taking a sudden turn towards psychoanalysis. Yikesies.

I wrote almost 2000 words today. Happy dance!

It all started with me first being able to squeeze out a hundred words or so yesterday. I'm starting a new chapter so it's all weird and scary at the moment and I have no real structure to work with yet. As I agonised with the lack of existing structure,

Brief update

My family headed over to the US to meet relatives a few months ago, and a local newspaper published this article about their travels (the image quality isn't fantastic): The Great Michigan Tour of '08 On my thesis front: not much going on at the moment,

Need to stay focused?

Behold, some advice on staying motivated on past/long term projects. The bit about writing-down-your-ideas has, in admittedly a different format and context, kickstarted me in my thesis work after four consecutive semesters of teaching/procrastinating.

Seven songs from the tundra

Given I'm a champion procrastinator (so far today I've baked a quiche and a cake and done the dishes twice), and fellow Knowledge Pimp/Wondergrad Danica posted a meme on her blog papercut heart today, I thought I might as well volunteer for tagging. I

I've just registered (or applied? I'm not quite sure how it works) for the Donald Sassoon Masterclass Culture of the Europeans at the end of the year, and thought I should perhaps read the good man's book Culture of the Europeans - 1800 to the present

...and a side of baby bonus, thanks.

I don't have a regular blogroll that I trawl through, but there is one blog that I occasionally visit and end up spending far more time reading posts and following links than I had planned. It still surprises me, because it's an economics blog, and economics
