What a day!

hiya,

Music today: The Music, Delays

Blimey what a nightmare! Today has been both fun and frustrating. Basically got up sooooo early! 8:30 might seem a joke to everyone whose ever had a job but to me that's really early! Even my dad commented how early it was when I phoned him at 9! Anyway, got a new phone but had to see my friend in the next town down the road where he works. So getting the train there was fine, the way back was not. Turned out I'd got the wrong train and had to get my mum to come out in her lunch break & pick me up where to train had deposited me 5 miles out of town, oops :(
Never mind, I had the chance to read this next book for my dissertation, Jameson's 'Cultural Logic of Late Capitalism'. A classic by all accounts. I think this site may at times turn into sociological ranting when I've been thinking about a specific issue (this, I warn you, happens an awful lot). But we shall see. I was just thinking today though, in amidst all the long words that, at the end of the day, some of the issues Postmodernism is trying to debate, require neither long words or PhD. Its just what you think is going on in the world at the moments and the methods for exploring it. I nearly forgot that as I was reading the introduction, which nearly got me very confused. But I made it out the other end (of the intro that is) and have plowed head first into the first chapter on culture. More on that as I read more I'm sure - don't say I didn't warn you!

Right better leave off there, have to go and work on this chord progression for my next song, I'm nearly there and I have some ideas for lyrics so we'll see. Off to dinner with my mum tonight also, then to see my cousin for a drinking session. It may be a bleary eyed update you get sometime tomorrow.
Write soon
