Almost there...

Glueboot is so weary... so weary that she's talking in third person.

Enough of that.

Tomorrow is the last day that I will be working on my dissertation. I would like to say that I've been working on it for the past year but I haven't. I spent quite a lot of time thinking about the things that I'm currently writing about but didn't actually think that I'd put any of them into my dissertation. Again this year I have ended up writing about things that I didn't want to write about. Last I year I promised myself that there would be no Hegel yet a chapter of last year's dissertation is dedicated to him. This year it was Deleuze and Guattari but again they have a chapter. I've also ended up writing about things that I have always found baffling but that are becoming clearer: mainly time, complexity and capitalism. I always seem to end up writing about things that I find extremely difficult, it must be some sort of masochistic side coming out. I didn't really need to write on Deleuze & Guattari, especially since my lecturers said they were 'too hard' (to put it mildly) but it just turned out that way. I think when you spend hours deciphering something you can write well on it, if I write on something I find pretty simple it always end up being shite. But if you think about something really hard, turn it over in your mind until you've looked at all the possibilities then things always end up clicking.

I have to finish my final chapter and write my introduction and conclusion tomorrow and then it will be done. At the moment, apart from procrastinating by making a pointless post, I am attempting to make some images in photoshop for the front of each of my chapters. I've taken a fairly silly picture of me at Glastonbury a few years ago and am attempting to turn it into images that will resemble the concepts I'm playing with (says she who rants about conceptual art). I'm trying to make images that might be folds, chaos, rupture, dynamics and flux out of my silly picture. The first one went well but now photoshop won't work properly and every time I try to convert something using the wonderful liquify tool it crashes. I...am... not... happy.

I have nothing left to say.
