Damn you, Journal of the Society for Information Display... I hate you so much!
Why do I need to read so many of your articles? Why will you not let me unless I pay a rediculously high fee?!
Graaaaaaaah!
Ah well, dissertation research plods along gradually. And by 'research', I mean 'looking up articles which seem relevant'. I'm not actually reading the things. Hell no. I simply cannot read a vast block of text (like, upwards of 20 pages) of stuff I barely comprehend; it just makes me feel sleepy and no able to concentrate. So I'm stuck waiting for my printer ink to come, so I can print a few off. Still, s'better than nothing.
Actually, I made myself laugh today by accidentally coming full circle in my search. Y'see, my dissertation supervisor gave me a few articles to start with, and I've been working through looking at the articles which cited one of those (thus getting more recent developments).
And lo and behold, the last article on the search list citing the article given to me by my supervisor.... was written by my supervisor.
Trippy.
D&D 4th ed came out today... but amazon still hasn't shipped my books, which is a tad annoying. But oh well.
Oh, and major surprising thing! I'm actually going (by my own will) to a social/ball thingie in a few weeks.
Me.
It's like I'm a real person or something...
