spent the morning actively reducing the quality of my dissertation by sitting around at costa's coffee above waterstones and reading watchmen instead.

dylan references already! -- from desolation row:

"at midnight all the agents and the superhuman crew"

not too shabby. thus far, rorschach reminds me of scorcese's taxi driver. i believe the word is manichean. but i haven't finished.

wow... the dissertation is hard. so many things to organize. it's very distressing.

now that i've spent half a day doing all the organization, it doesn't feel too bad. actually it would be a shame to rush it. nowhere before have i seen a dataset which will summarize all the information that i have on sovereign wealth funds as what i am doing now.
