CONSPIRACY THEORY #20050203

so as it goes, there IS a conspiracy that’s involved with the shower. today mr. moneyman that budgets all the expenses for the whole building gave us the definite ok to get a new shower. BUT BUT BUT it will take a few weeks for the order to be filled and will probably take another few to install it, fix the flooring underneath etc etc. I KNEW THERE WAS A CONSPIRACY BEHIND IT!!!!!

 

oooooooooooh buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn. is all i have to say. there’s these work-in-progress seminars that the school holds for the various disciplines where people who’re doing their phds. there’s a q&a part afterwards where people can ask qs, give suggestions etc. there’s this crazy old man with a terrible comb over that always asks these weird questions. he’s been removed from the e-mail list and it’s not like they can bar him from sitting in, and so they often try avoiding his questions. the speakers are often warned by our convenor to beware of his questions as well. it’s kinda mean, but he’ll make these absolutely bizarre connections like anglo-saxon traditions with greek orthodox practice. today’s topic was about racism in the canon of british art (re: gilroy’s there ain’t no black in the union jack) and that blacks are excluded. sounded interesting so i went. it was pretty good because i don’t know all the political hoopla involved with the union jack, like the fact that it was taken as a symbol for the national front which is the right-wing political party here. well, the crazy man asked this question which me and cherry didn’t really pay attention to, because she was explaining cornwall to me. (i’ll get to it.) well, my prof for my poco class whom i admire as an extremely brilliant person who asks these can-i-get-back-to-you type questions blurted out, “well this is really irrelevant and boring to me and…” WHAAAAAAAAAAA~T?!?!!?!? you can’t say that? i mean we all sorta humour this man now, and the speakers usually are good-natured about him, but from my prof? holycraponmyhead. so liz, the convenor who was fielding the questions interjected, reprimanded him and allowed the man to continue. it was an extremely elitist/academicist (yes this word exists in the nictionary) and ageist comment. i mean here we are talking about racism, and then he goes and creates another ‘issue.’yes, he was saying what we were all thinking and of course he went to speak to liz afterwards to plead his case. but in the end it was like the petulant child being reprimanded by mommy. his actions must have severe repercussions for his career within the uni and maybe in general. profs aren’t perfect, i mean look at my other one, but it was SO uncomfortable.

 

ok so cornwall. it’s this city somewhere in southern england that has their own flag and decided they wanted to be their own country or something crazy like that. right.

 

i’m drawing again. i was famous for my pen and ink crosshatched drawings back in high school and my pen is kinda crappy, but i didn’t realize how much i missed it until i whiled away the hours when i was supposed to be working on my presentations. teeheehee. no i cannot do ANY figural art. well ok, i can try to draw a person and it’ll look like a person, just not the person i’m supposed to be depicting. it’s all abstract. just the way i like it.

 

according to spencer i’m not canadian. i’m just ‘weird.’= ) that pleases me to no end.
