why writing my thesis is fun (太好了!)

For those of you who may not know, my "Master's thesis" entails a dissection of East Asian power politics with the supposed conclusion that "all" can be explained by the North Korean nuclear dilemma. I say "Master's thesis," because, as of 8:33 p.m. on Tuesday, June 27, 99.9% of it still exists locked in a room somewhere at the back of my head — where it should be, of course. And I say "all" because I have no real ****ing clue what I'm talking about.

Hopefully the fine people over at UBC's Simons Centre for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation Research aren't reading this. If they are, uh, hello, and ah, don't worry, everything is under control and, ah, uh... being well looked after... by the, ah, the fine lads at the Guinness Corporation!

Aherm...

On a more serious note, the thesis is shaping up. I've given a few presentations and written a few essays already and things are shaping up. Yes. Shaping up. Yes. Must keep repeating.... Things are shaping up, things are shaping up, things are shaping...

(Well, they are at the back of my head, anyway. The subconsious part. You know, the part everyone pretends actually exists.)

One small problem?

The damned topic keeps doing things in real life. Grrr.

Mmmmmm propaganda!

Enjoy!
再见。
