huzzah!

*dances*

For two reasons... thesisaurus is under control and finally tamed, with just the intro and conclusion left to write and quite a few edits and reworkings already under my belt...

And, far more importantly, I got my cat empire ticket today! For the Friday night concert in November, so so excited about that.

There's a little kitten-pie asleep oh-so-cutely on my lap right now, squashed in between my and the desk and twitching his ears when I type and accidentally disturb him... keeping me all toasty warm, too. I got compliments on my legs today, oddly, nice if unexpected!

See, thesis work leaves the brain in fragments. It's impossible to concentrate on anything else, which is why shitty tv holds such appeal for me right now. I was lying awake until at least 3am this morning thinking and thinking and thinking, which is very exhausting, but at least the early starts aren't getting any harder. I think at the moment my diurnal rhythms (sounds like a band, hey) are screwed up, but as long as I can have the occasional afternoon nap there are fewer ill-effects than otherwise.

oooo, and excellent quote to go under the title of my 3rd chapter, so it goes:

Chapter Three: "Peter L. sits kicking at the texts./ He is cross with them..."

"Do not forget that a poem, although it is composed of the language of information, is not used in the language-game of giving information"
- Ludwig Wittgenstein, Zettel

So I am feeling happy about that, and there are going to be quote scattered throughout the thesis because they provide good anchoring points for a lot of the ideas I talk about.

~yay!
