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

@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 :D ;)
Probably that's how you get yourself an early cardiac arrest :rolleyes:

@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? :p :D

Yes, except that I have tickets for a preview of the new Nicole Kidman movie tomorrow... :D 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... :eek: ;)

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

Psychohistory? What on earth is that?

Postmodernism :eek: 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. ;)

LOL :D 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... :D ;)

Hi Gwally ;) Pint of beer? :D

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

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. :eek: :D

:eek: :eek: Well, I actually think the psychoanalytic concepts work better to explain history than explaining the human mind ;) :D

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 :D

@Hello Gwally, still here? :)

LOL :D Well, you're the expert ;)

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

@Gwally litres? Beer in litres? That's just all wrong... :p :D *makes Gwally a Long Island Iced Tea instead, and gives CE another beer* :D

@Georgi: I look forward to hearing how on earth they integrate the psychoanalytic concepts with history :D You have to tell me when you start reading that part of your course :D

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

Good night Georgi and Gwally, see you :)

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

Edit: Bye Gwally :)

So, how are the cloisters today? :D
