Today

02.05.2005

Found the articles I was looking for, which sparked an intense two-hour editing process focused on altering two paragraphs on historical institutionalism. This is the paradox of dissertation writing: It took me about the same amount of time to edit two existing paragraphs as it took me to hammer out five entire (single-spaced) pages.

Spent much of the rest of the day reading/writing at Rocket Star. At midnight, Dan & I are watching The Hidden Fortress, the Kurosawa classic that inspired Lucas' Star Wars.

I've been home 30 minutes in the last 36 hours.

DOH!: Those articles I copied at the library? Turns out three were reprinted in an edited volume sitting on my bookshelf at home. Damn. Another was in another volume, also at home. Double damn. The ones I didn't bother copying? In the volume I thought I had at home, but didn't. Triple damn.

Excellent choice in movie. I've enjoyed every Kurosawa film I've seen, and I've seen almost all of them.

"Triple damn." YOu must have been throowing stuff around, lol. That's what they would do in a Hollywwod movie anyway. N.
