school, writing, spoilers
14 Sep 2005 09:38 ami hate when professors insist on using old editions of books. i spent an hour or so last night searching for the first edition of att tänka sociologiskt and finally found four sources who all list it as sold out/out of distribution. the publisher in göteborg will mail directly but only inside sweden. the library has it, but in limited quantity and with a two-week loan limit (the course is six weeks). and it's raining and seems like the kind of day when staying home and reading in bed would be ideal. i even feel up to reading about "kommunismen" på svenska, but i have two hours of school.
i haven't written since before the weekend because i keep feeling, rather irrationally i might add, that it's more irresponsible to sit at the computer and write about john and rodney's quick arranged marriage for four hours than to sit at the computer reloading my friendspage and e-mail and trying to keep up-to-date with wank for four hours.
in fact, my irrational gut-feelings about responsible behaviour would totally allow me to sit here and write about what constitutes a spoiler for four hours (but not, mind you, if i were writing fiction about it), because i've just seen three people whose opinions i'm used to holding at high value with no questions asked express doubt as to the existence of mood spoilers. but the bus comes in ≈15 min, so i will get dressed and just click my heels and chant "i do believe in mood spoilers!" or something instead.

Date: 14 Sep 2005 06:13 pm (UTC)depending on the length of the book it can actually be cheaper to buy it than copy it, i think. like this one would make about 150 copied pages, which is a bit over €20 i'm pretty sure. åbo akademi's 100-copy cards are 20 if i remember right.
