After half a semester floundering along, wondering what the lecturers wanted exactly for the presentation, I've finally resolved what my thesis is.

What started off as a meandering through happiness, expressions through photography, observations, collations of data through social media means such as Twitter, getting people to sit in the cusp of joy by reading excepts from The Ursonate as well as other various representations of happiness through several projects under the umbrella term of 'Felicity', I've had to stop and look at the body of work and define patterns of progression within each mini project and the most striking factor I've seen is the parallels of happiness or joy through sound.

EPIC TANGENT: This brought me to, amongst other things, a SMALL PODCAST DISCOVERY which I think you should definitely look into.

But...
I'm sitting in my own head instead of actually doing 'bridge' projects that informs this damnable leap in instances. I actually have a few ideas which I should probably run over the course of this week. And I finally finished all the deliverables for the other two classes for this semester which frees me up to do said mini projects.

These new mini projects involves several spatial interventions. I can't obviously just do one so three or four would definitely help in the realisation of these bridges... Or in my case, grappling hooks, towards the realm of sound and acoustics.

I do also need to photography my old projects... That would take... a fair bit of planning around the house. >.> Should have done it during the interim presentation but I completely forgot. Shame on me.

Three projects in 7 days. Let's do this!

Tijana's reading Casanova so she sent me this:

Casanova (C); Protege (V)

V: 

How can one become a philosopher?

C: 

By thinking.

V: 

One must think a long time?

C: 

Throughout life.

V: 

Then it is never over?

C: 

Never, but one improves as much as possible, and obtains the sum of happiness which one is susceptible to enjoying.

V: 

And how can that happiness be felt?

C: 

by all the pleasure which the philosopher can procure when he is conscious of having obtained them by his own exertions, and especially by getting rid of the many prejudices which make of the majority men a troupe of grown-up children.
