sorry for the looooong pause… lots of things happening in my life. thankfully happy things
but yes, for the umpteenth time, i’m back? hehe.
yesterday i was mad enough to finally buy a book which i’ve been wanting to get for quite some time, Simulacra and Simulation.
well after reading the first page, i feel so stoopid. man, this wasn’t making any sense.. haha.. just fyi, this was one of the 3 books that all the crew and actors of the matrix had to read before embarking on the shoot. it kinda provides the grounding la.
anywayz, an update on watz goin to happen in the merry month of december..
1>> i’m going to start work on the “food from the heart” website. you know the folks who distribute bread? i’m helpin with the newsletter website la. hopefully i do a good job, dammit. my web skills have been rotting man. heh..
2>> going to revel in my communist homeland from the 20th to the 28th, as i visit mao-land. i can’t wait for the freezing winter to freeze my nuts off… woooohoooo! (i’m seriously looking forward to the weather!)
3>> i’m going to try to read the books that i haf and jus bought:
a> The medium is the message
b> Simulacra and Simulation
c> The NTT DoCoMo Story (can’t remember the exact title)
d> Complexity (dunno wat the hell it is)
e> other misc stuff to do with my thesis.. shudders
4>> i shuld really try to get some stuff done for my thesis.. need to read more and think more.. puts on thinking cap
oke time to pack and get to skooool.. to end off with a quote from my new acquisition:
“The simulacrum is never what hides the truth – it is truth that hides the fact that there is none.
The simulacrum is true.”
-Ecclesiastes
