'definitions are not mere sematic peccadilloes; they remain crucial not least because they caution against the kind of caricaturing of globalisation which has become all too common'. (Dicken et al., 1997)

sematic peccadilloes. right. i need to seriously brush up my vocab.

and more importantly, i'm up to my neck in philosophical jargon and definitions that i'm ready to puke out econ geog.

lesson learnt - don't leave yr half semester worth of readings till when u need to write yr take home exam, 'cos then u realise how much wonderful readings u are missing out on (i'm seriously considering rereading some of them over break. how... horrifying is that?!) and also, by leaving it to now, u essentially get a massive overdose of intellectual academia, and that screws yr brain and thought processes a little.

to make up for that, i shall indulge in some random flight of nonsense - did u know tt teddy grahams are way cute? and tt choco teddy grahams are great snacks - pretty healthy, gives u fibre, and it's nice to munch on. yay to nabisco!
