It’s really been a while

As I said in my last post, I am still wrapping up For Marx. I am enjoying it… but I think that I will get a lot more out of it as I re-read and post reflections and summary on Csothbeg144.

In general, I’m getting a little nervous about all of the reading I should be doing. I can’t lie and say I read all the time. I should be reading. But I don’t. I’m trying… I’ll just have to keep on trying a little more.

In other news, I’m completing my first day (of seven) without any processed sugar (white sugar, brown sugar, “raw” sugar, corn syrup, etc.) Feeling good so far, but I can’t lie, a lot of stuff has it in there. Tricky, tricky.

I think I’m going to finish the second to last essay in For Marx before I post again on Csothbeg144.

Signing off.

Today is sunny and I am not working

I am working my way through Foreign Affairs magazine. Reading this and Lukacs at the same time really help the material I am studying stew around; it’s great. Check Csothbeg144 for my comments and responses to some of its articles in the July/August issue.

Calico is going to the studio today (YAYZ). So good; can’t wait to hear their new stuff. (You should check out some of their rough tracks… it’s really good.) I am a little said that “5/4″ and “144″ won’t be on the EP, but what can you do. Wishing the boys well.

In other news, its happy birthday party to Emily Velma. I have to make an alternate soundtrack to hers in case of overflow; it is definitely going to include some heavy Euro-trash, as well as some Southern gangster rap (almost certainly headlined by T.I.).

Must drink some water;

So I’m getting the feeling

That I was supposed to be at work at 7 and not 730. But you know… I definitely have overtime sooooo I will be 15 minutes late.  Emily kept talking about the MJ conspiracy to overshadow the mass panic caused by the coup in the ME, not to mention the threats from NK two weeks ago. Hrm. I’d like to read more into that, but highly doubt there is much available on it.

In other news… I received 5.5 hours sleep and will walk to College Avenue after another eight hours of work. Still working through Lukacs’ essay on Rosa Luxembourg. I would also do anything to not go to work right now.

Labyrinth Books in Princeton, tonight!

Today, a brilliant one at that. Like an opal or a pearl:

I have posted some of my notes and quotes that I found interesting/intriguing during my read of Lukacs’ “What is Orthodox Marxism” on Csothbeg144. But I had to stop halfway through. I think I want to continue reading for now… move on to the next essay. Or maybe re-read some segments again.

It is so hard for me to really know how to talk about these sorts of things, I think that’s why this is a good attempt at a blog-proj. Like, who the hell cares what I have to say or highlight about Lukacs? What the hell do I know? Nothing. But I would really like that to change.

In other news: I am tired. Have worked nearly 30 hours in two days.

Back for more soon. Must attempt to learn more about popular culture in the last 48 hours… but I think it’s safe to say most people are still riding the MJ tide.

A Certificate of Payment

I promise, promise, three times promise that I will write in (both) of my blogs later today. The Rutgers University administration has basically sucked the life out of me. But, no worries! I will always prevail.

Topics for discussion: Pnin and what’s happening today in the American media, in addition to my uber-unique viewpoints on soda and sleeping habits.

Probably some other nonsense, as well.
