Vonfusing Logic
At the moment I am sitting in a computer room that I have only just discovered. Many computers, very few people. Right in the city centre, and yet very quiet because at this time the building isn't used for anything else. It is calm, bright, and very "work-a-holic-ish". Nearly as much as the computer science room, where I spent one evening with a friend while he was programming his assignment. Those are the classrooms where you take out crisps and drinks when nobody is looking. Reminds me of camping whole nights in some other computer rooms ;) .
And I am trying to take apart a four page arguement about increasing wages by Marx for logics class, for the second time now, and I still don't know where I am going.
Before this I had the weekly Film Studies screening, this time Rush Hour was on. That was absolutely hilarious, such a fun waste of 90 minutes ;) . The topic is acting/stars. Right. In the last lecture on the same topic we watched an excerpt from Knight Rider and kind of agreed that David Hasslehoff's acting is great, because it suits its purpose. Hmm...
Right now I am listening to yahoo launch, haven't done that for ages, but my iPod ran out of batteries. And just now some song by "Emiliana Torrini" (I think that was her name) came up... such a beautiful song, and no chance to play it again. Does anyone know her music? Does anyone have any? It's been a while since I've last considered getting a CD after listening to only one song... Imagine the music like Tori Amos, but less whiny, and like Björk, but more melodic and much, much less strained/intense. Or maybe like a single, female version of the Kings of Convenience? I don't know any more, need to listen to it again......
And get back to Herr Marx and his "exchangeable values of commodities" ...
Current Song (until my iPod stopped playing...) - The Decemberists - From My Own True Love (Lost at Sea)
PS: For those of you who are studying in the UK and the US (and Canada as well?) - if you aren't on the facebook.com yet, get online there. A great waste of time, but very amusing. It's basically like friendster, myspace, hi5 etc just more serious, and only for people at university and colleges. Talking about it being serious, my roommate added all people with his last name (about 750) and all with his first name (another 450?) as friends. Within 16 hours, about 150 confirmed, he received some 25 messages, and 30 people wrote on his wall. And all along the lines of "do I know you", "hey, this is cool", "are we related? My ancestors are from..." and "we rock"...
