Chutney Glow, Part II

Category: Research — Biella @ 3:43 pm

I just wrote the first 7 pages of my dissertation! Ok, so I have already written like at least 1/3 of this book-length paper (maybe more?? it depends on how long it wll be) but now I am starting from the beginning. It is exciting and strange. Like I have spent the last 7 years building and preparing for this moment and while I am sure my auric field is one of glowing chutney, it is also somewhat less dramatic that I thought it might be.

You see it is really perplexing, this dissertation thing. On the one hand, I can’t figure out if my ideas seem somewhat simple and obvious because I have been thinking about them for five years, intensely for over 1 or whether in fact, I am writing my the story of mydoom (ie failing because my ideas are painfully obvious and uninteresting).

Anyway, who cares for now? I think I will instead celebrate and triumph these first few pages in my chutney glow, take the rest of the afternoon off, and go see Dune with my friends.
