trilliumgrl: Me, putting on make-up before the wedding (Default)
It was gorgeous out today, sunny but cool, a magnificent day for walking. I put my sunglasses on went out with just a sweater on and enjoyed my walk throughly.
My walk to school was disturbed only by the fact that, according to the library website, I had a fine. This led me to believe that I had looked at a date wrong and that I should have returned something last week. Seeing as the LSE charges ruinous late fees, this was not a good thing. Once I got to the library I discovered that actually the library had not entered in a offprint I returned on Friday, so I didn't owe anything. Yay!
DV 400 was taught by Robert Wade who gave a (amazingly) interesting lecture on poverty and inequality, focusing on the numbers of it, and how they are calculated. I'm looking forward to doing the reading now that I think I have a clue what we are discussing. Seminar managed to even have a decent discussion on the the topic of liberalizing trade, an amazing feat for a room full of anthropologists.
Now I'm going to go read Foucault and watch Farscape. After that I'll be back here, attempting to write (yet another) paper for Parry.
P.S. I felt like a grad student today when I discovered that one of my undergrad flatmates (econ major) had never heard of Foucault or Edward Said until recently. :)

Okay, so these are my impression of this evening's episode of Farscape. For those of you in the US, we are about 2 weeks ahead of you here in the UK, so I'll cut it. Honestly though, it really isn't very spoilery.
Farscape stuff )
Keep in mind what I this is what I wrote on a piece of paper immediately after seeing the episode, with few edits. It really just is a train-of-thought more than anything. I reserve my right to change my mind after actually thinking about it for a bit. I can't wait until next week, yet I dread it, because each episode brings us closer to the unintentional end.
Ah the perils of being a SF fan. Back to work now.
