As opposed to me who haven't even started writing a report that must be ready 10am tomorrow But's it only a couple of hourse work - I think...

LOL

Well, it was only reading a few sources, nothing too strenuous...

Thursday's reading (quite a lot of Karl Marx, for my historiography seminar), I haven't even looked at yet...

Evening Ysh

Definately worth the effort

@CE Good day to you

@Ysh: Whenever I have a dead line, I keep the delusion "there is still plenty of time" until there's not quite enough time left. Then I work like crazy and make it anyway

Probably that's how you get yourself an early cardiac arrest

@Georgi: There's always tomorrow night for Marx

Is the historygraphic(?) course interesting as well?

EDIT: Good evening, sir Sleep, how are you today?

You don't think it might make them even less likely to come into fashion?

Yes, except that I have tickets for a preview of the new Nicole Kidman movie tomorrow...

Yeah, some of the ideas about the philosophy of history are interesting, some of the later topics sound more interesting (psychohistory, for instance), towards the end of the course I have to grapple with the concept of postmodernism...

Not bad at all, tired now, but that is to be expected

Perhaps i should get some sleep?

Enjoy the movie

If it's a Nicole Kidman movie, it should provide good rest for your intellect

Psychohistory? What on earth is that?

Postmodernism

don't even start to mention it. I never got a grasp of that, to me it just seems like one big hole where you put everything that is not defined as another -ism.

Greetings all. An hour left of work and I have run out of steam.

So I'll spam a bit!

I don't know much about it, some kind of supernatural thriller I think... You're probably right

Psychohistory... I think, integrating psychoanalytical concepts into historical explanation... Quite a controversial approach, apparently, mostly criticised for downplaying social aspects.

Yes, I am quaking at the very thought of postmodernism...

Hi Gwally

Pint of beer?

Oh, how rude of me, should have offered you a drink, CE... anything for you?

Gwalchmai · Post by **Gwalchmai** » Tue Oct 23, 2001 4:18 pm

Hi Georgi! Do you have any litres of beer? If not, I'll just have a nice mixed drink - your choice. I trust you implicitly.

Well, I actually think the psychoanalytic concepts work better to explain history than explaining the human mind

Sorry I've been away a while, I'm working at my report simultaneously. Thanks for the beer - I'm sure my ability to concentrate on my work will rise sky high

@Hello Gwally, still here?

LOL

Well, you're the expert

I just got kicked off the line by my housemate... back now though

@Gwally litres? Beer in litres? That's just all wrong...

*makes Gwally a Long Island Iced Tea instead, and gives CE another beer*

@Georgi: I look forward to hearing how on earth they integrate the psychoanalytic concepts with history

You have to tell me when you start reading that part of your course

I have to go off to bed now - for once, I have to go up really early tomorrow

Good night Georgi and Gwally, see you

Gwalchmai · Post by **Gwalchmai** » Tue Oct 23, 2001 5:13 pm

Thanks for the tea! Hello, CE. Unfortunately, its time for me to leave. Have a great evening, everyone!

Georgi · Post by **Georgi** » Tue Oct 23, 2001 5:14 pm

@CE Sure, I'll let you know, it's not for a couple of weeks yet

Goodnight

Edit: Bye Gwally

)

And don't they teach you monks any manners?

*begrudgingly pours DM a Paulaner anyway, since she's the bar wench...*

So, how are the cloisters today?
