Now back thanks to parental broadband. Monday, December 04, 2006. I don't particularly care if anyone has opposing views - that's what's going to happen.". Oh, Rudd. Bad start! Saturday, December 02, 2006. I also woke up one morning last week and, in my sleepy state, tried to convince myself that my need to take a leak was in fact a cultural cosntruction. Step back.

I Am The Blob: April 2010
http://iamtheblob.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
I Am The Blob. Thursday, April 29, 2010. I, like many others, am concerned and horrified that Middlesex University has decided to cut its Philosophy Department entirely. As An und Für Sich notes. The entire situation bodes extremely badly for the fate of all research into continental thought, regardless of department. Infinite Thought has posted details. Of the Save Philosophy at Middlesex campaign, which includes a petition. As well as a Facebook group. This is 'canary in a coal mine' territory. Of cour...

I Am The Blob. Friday, January 22, 2010. We we we, all the way home. Graham Harman has responded. To my previous post. Hurrah! I exist in the realms of internet textual exchanges. He considers the use of 'we' in academic writing, rather than 'I'. This reminded me, in reference to my anecdote about how my Honours supervisor instilled a horror of the 'I' in me, that said supervisor was even more. What gives you the. Right to say 'we'?

I Am The Blob: September 2009
http://iamtheblob.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
I Am The Blob. Thursday, September 17, 2009. A reading group I participate in read some of Jeremy Bentham's A Fragment on Government. Yesterday. One of the things that struck the group: if you exchanged this work for Sterne's Tristram Shandy. No one would notice the difference. The work is a fabulous thousand-layer tissue of digressions, exhaustive rambles and denouements. This little gem tickled the fancy of the group. Bentham is discussing/dissing a work by William Blackstone, the English jurist:.

Now back thanks to parental broadband. Thursday, February 01, 2007. Has Darren Hayes been writing his own press releases? The particularly worrying bits have been highlighted. Some of the songs on the record would not sound out of place in a musical about Jules Verne or H.G Wells' 'The Time Machine'. But they're just a metaphor says Hayes of his 'Victorian Science Fiction' dress code. Who would have thought that love so belated could save me? How did Dreamgirls get 8 Oscar nominations?

Now back thanks to parental broadband. Thursday, February 01, 2007. How did Dreamgirls get 8 Oscar nominations? This was an AWFUL film, people. To paraphrase Elanor: "the whole thing was designed to NOT PISS OFF DIANA ROSS". It was clunky, trite, with kitchen-sink character development, and unable to at any point inspire any emotional reaction. I infinitely preferred the treatment. Sorry about the abs scene - this is obviously not related to my point]. The poppy, empty Beyonce version! Scott to be Certain.

I Am The Blob: August 2009
http://iamtheblob.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
I Am The Blob. Tuesday, August 18, 2009. I will say one thing about Lady GaGa. Let me put on record that I do like the songs of Lady GaGa. They function on a dancefloor. They have good metaphor use. I like the production. I even like her voice. Her clips are improving tremendously – the one for Paparazzi. Is just astounding, as Guy. Has also noted. She can carry a leotard. I think the aggressive focus on her crotch in her clips is interesting. Being a pop star is not easy. I do not care for this. Working...

I Am The Blob: In Chicago
http://iamtheblob.blogspot.com/2010/04/in-chicago.html
I Am The Blob. Saturday, April 3, 2010. After a preliminary walk around the neighbourhood in which I'm staying, I feel pretty exhausted, so I thought I'd write a blog post about my travels so far. My travel blogging will probably be a haphazard thing. I then took a stroll through streets of the campus, past prim-looking gothic houses, to visit Robie House. Here The neighbourhood I'm staying in is very picturesque. Lots of well-tended little gardens doing things that are appropriate for Spring - small...

Pop Frippery.: GaGa: Verdict
http://popfrippery.blogspot.com/2010/04/gaga-verdict.html
Saturday, April 10, 2010. OK, so I didn't enjoy GaGa. Possibly, but not necessarily erroneously. It wasn't just my extreme age dulling my enjoyment. Basically, it wasn't a great show. Or, rather, it wasn't a show great enough to match the truly great things GaGa is doing in every other sphere - her clips, visual imagery, appearances etc. Because the production was merely mediocre, everything seemed slightly duller. Than one would expect: her costumes weren't nearly as interesting or avant garde. Have bee...
