rambling. . .

sort of back to 'reality' at the moment. the immediate ones are: going to a study group meeting on wed. (finish 100 pages and draw a mind map as a result) and submitting revision on the 7th of april. might hear several things back from people while slowly making it into april. will have to think about the book review due in May, and the phd abstract thing for irigaray too.

the life without my own computer has been 'temporary': everything is in this transitional phase, temporarily, waiting for that which alledgely will arrive today or tomorrow- so-called 'my new computer'. it's rather tentative: i reply emails on the webpage instead of using mozilla thundrbird that feels so much more like a 'mailbox' to me. the morning routine of waking up, making coffee, puring it into a mug and checking my mails while sipping it has long been 'suspended'- if it ever comes back later. this reminds me of my first month in the house on Ambrose, when i had to bike or walk to the uni for internet access because chialin was in desperate need of the internet for her master dissertation and our connection at the time only allowed one computer networked to the internet.

without being connected in this specific way (while still connected in others, such as by a landline and a cell phone), i found my life full of tranquility, though at the same time getting more dependent on my mobile. so convenience is also disturbance and intervention, i suppose.

went to see the squid and the whale yesterday and absolutely loved it. too bad i missed the first half-an-hour due to inattention to switching back onto the daylight saving.
