In The Good, the Bad and the Banal on June 21, 2008 at 11:15 pm

Having just lost my most recent post in a RSCFAFS (Random Sudden Computer Freeze and Failure Situation), and given the fact that one can get a faster internet connection than this is one uses carrier pigeons, combined with the generally futile and impotent feeling generated by being unable to vent my spleen here (and the consequent calamities caused to friends and family), I thought it would be worthwhile writing a quick post about future posts. Since my brain has been exercised in so many directions recently (I say exercised, more of a light jog), there’s no way that even if I stay up all night I will have done all the things I’ve found vaguely interesting (VIFs if you will, see earlier posts) or generally bloggable justice. Thus, I propose a short list – for the record or the minutes as it were – of things I’ve thought about. If life goes to plan (and it never does), all these topics will be suitably blogged before the end of work in September, if not, this will serve as some sort of inane, pointless, facile and egocentric record of the goings-on inside my head.

So, here goes, a list (and we all love those!):

  • The EU Constitution discussed. Something about Peter Mandelson and Sarkozy, tabloids and Europhobia.
  • 42 Day detention discussed again, the moral issue and the unnecessary by-election
  • Time, and the passage thereof. ‘Time flies when you’re having fun’ says the old saying, in that case, I feel like an arthritic mole in this job.
  • Employment, productivity and studenthood. Speaks for itself, unnecessary navel-gazing aplenty.
  • The Male Brain (for all you Simon Baron-Cohen fans), sexuality and homosexuality.
  • Alcohol and its neat relationship with the working day.
  • Management, little powers and spelling mistakes.
  • An attempt to segue (I like that word) Habermas into Sartre.
  • Degree results…
  • The future considered…
  • AAAAAAAAARGH!

So if all goes as swimmingly as the cod of fate that escapes being netted by the Birdseye trawler of doom (sorry Humph), all the above will be dealt with in my own imitable/inimicable (delete as appropriate) style for your enjoyment/revulsion. Plus if anything exciting happens in the news, I’ll be sure to be lurking cynically in the background muttering my liberal-socialist mumblings to myself like some sort of mumbling lurker.

The Mumbling Lurkers, now that sounds like a rock group.
Or maybe a paedophile ring…

Hmm…

Byee!

PS. In September, I may try something exciting with the blog to divide it into the various spheres of my life, but that’s for the future (basically an unnecessary hook to try to keep all the hallucinatory readers still reading…)

  1. I think writing a blog entry about future blog entries is cheating and therefore does not count
