The Thesis ii 10:40 am

After just deleting approximately 15 pages of hard-core theory from my thesis, I figured it was time for some lighter thesis work. Mainly language maintenance, like making sure there isn’t repetition, that my sentences are pretty and coherent. And that there’s consistency in my terminology. The last bit is tricky.

Tell me, what’s the difference between ‘team’ and ‘club’ when talking about pro sports and team building?

‘Perfect information’ and ‘complete information’?

Details are important. Especially when writing The Thesis of the Century.

No, I didn’t delete them. I just set them ‘private’, until I decide what to do with them. So worry not! Your favourite stories of me making a complete fool out of myself are safe.

Change is good, isn’t it? Thursday, Sep 25 2008 

blog ii 11:53 am

So, I said there’ll be changes around here and now, ta-daa! The new lay-out. I think it’s pretty. And in all honesty, I don’t really care what you think, as it is, after all, my blog. So like it or not, this is staying (for now, at least). I also renamed the blog. I think this one’s better.

I’d do some more changes, but I’m hungry. So… à bientôt!

Spring err… fall cleaning Thursday, Sep 11 2008 

blog and general ii 12:01 pm

*puts on her maid outfit with the frilly appron and heels, grabs a duster and starts to go around the blog dusting away the spiderwebs and layers of dust*

I could apologise for not being around here for such a long time. I should, most probably. But the reason for my absence is that I was busy. And the day I begin to apologise for having a life, that’s a sad day indeed.

I’m going to make some changes around here. I don’t like the blog as it is. There’s too much random stuff in here. The problem with blogs is that all the previous posts define the blog, kind of like with the Us legislation. You make one drunken post, and suddenly completely pointless, idiotic drunken posts are okay. You make one post simply to state that you love the Prada lambskin fringe bag (I still adore it, btw) and suddenly posts about shoes and hats and the pretty gloves you saw yesterday are okay, too. You make a post about the bank guy looking like BF and before you notice it, BF’s a topic. You post a serious comment about a movie you saw and before long you have an entire category named “George Clooney”.

All you can do is sit back and ask yourself “how did I get here? Why is my blog like this?” That is not to say I know what my blog should be like. Like me, I suppose. And I do like George Clooney. But… There should be a guiding line, a plot, something, right? Then again, I’ve been accused of not having a plot too. Apparently, according to some, I am a living oxymoron. So maybe my blog cannot make sense. It is written by me, after all.

Anyways, there is going to be changes. I don’t know what they are yet, but I’m working on it. I’m rearranging this thing as I go along. So bear with me. And welcome back.
