Lucky you, I still have no idea!!

And sorry I wasn't at CinSoc tonight, I hadn't slept for about 29 hours and felt rough. I'm worried, I think this degree is getting too me...

Aw, Lilli! Don't worry, you're allowed to miss CinSoc sometimes, I'm surprised you've made pretty much all the screenings so far (probably more than me and Simon actually).

Kudos on the CinSoc email by the way, good job! If you're ever overwhelmed or whatever one week, remember you can always give it to me to do.

I hope you got a good sleep last night (although judging by the time you sent that email I'm guessing not). Big hugs!!

I missed the meeting. Did anything interesting happen?

I'm doing mine on Philip K. Dick. I had an amazing chat with the bookshop attendant when I went back home, about Philip K. Dick. He wrote ASD under the influence of pixie dust, which is LSD, he said, and was actually thinking that he was several different people. The Man in High Castle is supposed to be great too. He agreed that ASD was rubbish, and said Blade Runner is better once you've read TMIHC and seen it more than a couple of times.

The meeting was a bit wank really. Although we do have to formulate a basic question by the end of the term, and hand in some form to Julia Davey. We have to find an academic who would know about our field, too.

Done already. I told Julia the plan and she said, "go see Margaretta Jolly or someone from Contemporary Cultures."

yay James! I knew 'the idea' would come!!

Oh, and if you have any Regina Spektor CDs, can I borrow some?!

Technically I don't have any CDs of her's-- Lucy made me a compilation CD with a bunch of her tracks on.

I just have a bunch of tracks on my mp3 player really, which I can put on a blank CD at some point for you??
