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.

Oh, it's not for me! I was just wondering because I've been reading this book on the history of Science Fiction and it talks about it in relation to the novel by J.G. Ballard (Crash). He happens to be one of my favourite novelists.

The history of Science Fiction.. how.. geeky ;p

Wasn't there a David Cronenberg movie called Crash?

Yes... and yes... Geeks that are unemployed stay home reading books.

;)

The movie sucked.

I haven't read the book yet... but I read most of his other stuff and I really enjoy it.
