movember music
Moving into Movember on CFRC this week with a few new and old goodies. Lights is definitely the highlight of the week for me, still uncertain about my feelings about Ohbijou and Ladytron’s new albums…need a few more listens to decide, but they didn’t grab me right away.
Here’s the playlist from this week’s installment of Primordial Soup:

My class is going swimmingly and the students remain keen. Our department sent out a notice for all post-proposal PhD candidates to send in their annual reports including a writing sample. Given that what I have so far I may as well have written on an Etch-a-Sketch, I’m a little flipped out. I have about 30 pages of a very very rough chapter but so many blank holes, I’d be embarrassed to submit that. There are even sentences that aren’t complete and dangling paragraphs. Yerg. I’ve got perhaps another 20 or 30 pages of very short writing samples regarding some elements that will appear in later chapters, but even though these tiny tidbits are well-written, they’re tiny…2-5 pages. So I’m caught: do I send in the polished but tiny or the bulky but inarticulate mass of ideas strung loosely together? I’ll go for the latter…a concerted effort this week will be made to plough through it and tie up loose ends. Where there are obvious gaps that I can’t yet deal with, I’ll leave them and simply identify it in my report. which I may fill out with a crayon.
