I'm not complaining about my dissertation at all, it was a privilege to scour the depths of some of the most complicated works of art ever created by human beings, but I've been shockingly out of the loop over the last ten months.
I guess it's "Occupy syndrome" -- after decades of cultural, political and economic regression, when all hope was stifled under the continental ice-sheets of neoliberalism, suddenly the transnational mediascape is shifting, heaving, buckling under our feet. Decades turn into hours, months into seconds, and suddenly, the backyard is teeming with tiny construction shovels and legions of wifi-kitted, shanzai-literate revolutionary moles, peering from their underground fortifications.
Still job-hunting, but at least I have time to start on a huge backlog of projects which have accumulated far too much dust.
A couple tidbits: Mass Effect fans are breaking free of the rEApers. (Note the location of the uprising: Poland.)
The Russian comrades continue to battle the neoliberal Combine.
