Damn it!!!!!!!!

4 07 2005

It looks very much like someone else just published my honours thesis! I was getting around to it, honest. Bugger, bugger, bugger. No pun intended.

On the upside, I like that the Magnetic Fields have a song called The Death of Ferdinand Saussure. Past victims of “Introduction to Communication and Cultural Studies” at UQ must have it on their crying-into-my-cask-wine playlists, for sure. Although, I admit, getting the whole signifier/signified thing sorted out was an epiphanic moment for me as an undergrad. Poor beleaguered linguists, they really deserve more credit than they get.

Everyone get this, Jean. It doesn’t matter as there is no way that it will be ‘identical’ - unless of course they’ve been following all your ideas in the blog ;-)

Hi Jean:

I´m writting to you from Spain. I hope you´ll forgive my enlish, I´m not a native speaker so i can´t talk english fluently.

Anyway, I´ve got to your blog seeking the Smiths information in Google, so here I am. My porpouse is just to talk about the Smiths and the bands who “save your life” such as The Cure, Depeche Mode., don´t you like New Order?? there are great!… I like Suede very much as well(in fact, Suede are a big Morrissey´s fan).

By the way, my name is Ramon, I´m from Spain (I live in Madrid), Im 32… too old for you?. Well, I just want take contact with friends. How are you in Australia???.
