tuesdays

I have a feeling that I’m not going to enjoy tuesdays for the next while. Sure, there’s not the 9am start which highlights Mondays, but the sheer intensity of it will surely get to me. Lecture after lecture after lecture. All through the day. Think very carefully before signing up for a physics course, kids.

But hey, this one’s out of the way and there are only nine more to go. And there’s always rich’s skateboarding blog to kill a bit of time (good luck mate. thanks for the link gary).

In response to an e-mail, I’ve been thinking some more about the nuanced beliefs thing I posted before in response to the Arundhati Roy article in the Guardian a couple of weeks back. Here’re some more thoughts, copied and pasted:

“I think it’s one of the most present frustrations in my life. I get into so many debates where it’s all or nothing, fundie or liberal, bible is inerrant and church rocks or it all has to be thrown out of the window, war or terror.

I guess you know all too well how frustrating it can be to spend all your life struggling to find a way to understand something only to have it caricatured as soon as you try and explain it to someone.”

I guess the ideal solution is lots of conversation. Good conversation, preferably in a funky cafe, with the objective of understanding. But that’s all too rare. Hmmmm……
