Went and saw Lianne in a concert last night - was soo cool! I really wish mum had let me learn to play the violin now...or that I'd kept up the flute, or the piano...*jealous*

Meant to go to my lectures today, but I slept through my first one. Made it to the end though, and caught up with friends outside afterwards. Then I managed to go to my second lecture, and was actually early! ^_^

Ended up not taking any notes and just playing pictionary with two friends throughout it - but that's a step up from what I'd been doing before, which was just not bothering to turn up.

Then I went to the library and got books out so I can do my presentation for this weeks seminar. Which is what I'm trying to do now, to get it out of the way.

Nobody's going out tonight, and I wasn't going to even if they were, but I think Steph's a bit disappointed by that, as there's an event on that she wanted to go to but nobody will go with her. Still, if I do enough of my work by 10 I've promised to watch Alley McBeal with her, which I think would probably be more enjoyable than a night out anyway.

Just annoyed with how slow this work is!

For Weber, would the increasing rationalisation of society be accompanied by a parallel expansion in human liberty?

WTF?!

Had to get four books out the library, on top of the photocopied sheets given us by our tutor, and I don't have a clue if I'm even going about answering this right. It's not due 'til thursday, so I guess I don't have to worry about it, but I want to do well - I hate not knowing if I'm doing the right thing...which is how I constantly feel in Politics.

So far I've been breaking the question down, and I've got definitions for rationalisation, and what exactly the process of it is - as well as clarifying that Weber himself has drawn a distinction between rationalisation and rationality.

Can't find anything about human liberty in this book though, so I think I'm gonna move onto the next one now.

*sigh* So boring!

God my laptop is being so slow tonight! (think it's probably the network)

Just took me half an hour to play a music video - worth it, because it's Hyde, but it definitely wasn't as good as it could have been, given it was literally stopping and starting the whole way through.

Not sure what the others are doing right now - I've obviously abandoned my work for the night, but I can't be arsed to go and settle into Alley McBeal or anything, think I'll just watch some tenimyu then get an early night.

...maybe I'll actually be able to wake up at a reasonable time tomorrow!


I had an arachnid in my room earlier, and it tried to lift up the bottle cap I placed over it to trap it - kept poking it's legs from underneath and curling them up! See! I always knew it was a valid fear that they might lift up whatever object I've covered them with - and this is why I normally put a weight on top as well...
