Wednesday's meeting with supervisor:
he made me see what i am (a researcher, interdisciplinary), what i am not (an artist), and how to put it into my writing (establish that in the first instance).
and how to meld my practice with my dissertation (will be damn difficult, but very useful and necessary).
basically, i'm not expected to be an elephant. i just have to write about elephants.
and gave me a pretty good mark for my project proposal, which was a surprise.
Interesting things we talked about today:
- work for Australian navy and you can pay off your mortage in 2 years while your wife takes care of 3 kids
- Toshibas are the Nokias of the laptop world

- working for Kmart logistics pays $26 an hour for non-degree holders.
- the structure of the black box of a plane can survive 5 km under water
- near the end of the LOTR book, the shire was razed but Sam saved the day
