Monday Marathon of Nothingness

[dotinthesky]

It's Monday again. At the rate I'm going, I'll have been on holidays for the last two months. I'm grabbing a few books today, a notepad, a pen, and spending my hours writing and reading. And drinking lots of tea. I've sent my CV to a temp agency and I'm going to wait and see.

Spin the wheel, spin the bottle, which office clerk will go into the closet with me for a kiss? Ok, it's absurd. I'll shut up now.

I want to write a proper post, about knick-knacks and weekends and trips to the supermarket and the latest d-celebrity spotted on the tube and children singing to Gerri Halliwell in the cinema, but it's just not coming.

I also want to understand more about Freud's definition of the death instinct. moonlightjoy, maybe you can explain this to me.

Ha! We have a Steven Pinker book at home (How the Brain Works). I also read a book by Louis A. Sass which I loved (Madness and Modernism). I guess I'm looking for an interesting text which is not too dry. I'll check out the one you suggested.

I'm sure you'll love it!

And the Steve Pinker book is actually called _How the Mind Works_

funny because he actually doesn't mention the brain at ALL in his book!
