Random update

Well, I'm still not connected to the interweb and since people are still visiting glueboot and there's nothing new really been posted I thought that I'd make a random update using the new bullet point feature that blogger has:

Observations

• London stinks... and more than that, London makes me stink (more than usual anyway). There's a film of sheen covering my body all day long. I do not even get any release at night as even with the window open, no quilt and no clothes I remain completely filthy.
• I can't sleep in London. It's too sticky, too noisy and I'm absolutely sure that people can see me through my blinds (London induced paranoia perhaps). So my quilt gets thrown to the floor in a fit of annoyance and then paranoia sinks in and I'm sure that I've become that angry naked girl that people watch.
• If there is a hell then it will take the form of a recruitment agency. Recruitment agencies employ the most slimy and contemptuous people in all the world. How many more times do I have to argue that 'yes, I can use a computer,' 'yes, even though my degree is in philosophy I am capable of opening a file in word.' Upon the walls of said agencies there are such words emblazoned as 'success,' 'adventure,' etc etc. I hate buzz words and they are everywhere... damn damn damn damn
• Old Turkish gadges are attracted to me and want to make me their young wife. This is not simply flirtation but overt gratuitous sleaze. I can cope with it from time to time but not when a greasy fat man grabs my hand and starts to rub the palm of it with his fat fingers in some wierd mating ritual.

Happier observations

• I've met quite a few bloggers now and I'm pleased to say that they're all very much like their blogs. Which is a good thing I think. It's a very strange thing this blogging business; it seems to be productive of much more than just mindless net ramblings (that applies to me, not anyone else!) We shall see what else happens.
• My new landlord is very nice and is going to do a handwriting analysis for me and take me for a ride on his motorbike (very exciting, I love bikes... one day I'll get one).

Upcoming on glueboot

• A lot of posts on Bataille on Eroticism, including my 'fieldwork' research
• Maybe a post on Deleuze and Guattari, or maybe not
• Regular updates on whether I've managed to find a way to stay clean or not
• Yet another post on philosophy

That's all for now. I have finally gotten my computer but not my monitor so it's hooked up to the TV which makes it impossible to read. Internet will be hopefully installed next week but I'm waiting for the bastard bank to extend my overdraft so I can stop being a pauper and can pay for it.

Until then....
