chomsky

have spent the week revising for my citrix exam which is on monday. i also booked an exchange 2010 course and that starts on monday as well. am taking the exam in the same building so i can do it in the lunch break.

had football for the first time in a couple of months, on thursday. it was good to play but 10 minutes before the end i hurt my ankle. it was really painful and i couldnt play on. i thought i might have just jarred it but when i got home it was bruised and swollen and i must have got kicked although i dont recall taking any hits. its fine now anyway.

i also had to replace the back wheel of my bike after i fell on it and it buckled. it was a comedy moment. anyways i got a new wheel and took the bike out today to go to the gym. i was flying. the old wheel must have been loose or not rolling well, because i felt quick today. i did a time of 17 and a half minutes but considering i didnt feel like i was emptying the tanks, there is a lot more to come.

still no job and no flat. am still getting calls but everything is on hold. no bother.

today i have mostly been listeing to noam chomsky being interviewed by amdrew marr. marr is regarded as one of the most heavyweight political interviewers in britain and he gets to interview the prime minister and senior politicians. unfortunately that really lowers the bar because when he comes across chomsky in this interview he gets his ass served to him on a plate.

marr is used to speaking with a certain type of person in british politics. upper class, private school educated men who have been to either oxford or cambridge. people that have been groomed in the establishment to be establishment figures and to think like establishment figures. marr himself fits exactly into that background. what chomsky does is show him there is a whole world outside his sphere of intellect that he has been brought up in and halfway through its like marr has just been told he has been living in the matrix and not the real world. 11:05 is one of many highlights. the whole thing is very good and informative. enjoy.
