My Exams

Posted by: Sonya on: December 5, 2009

I’ve been rather remiss in my blogging of late, so let’s put that right today with the first of three that I’ve had in my head to write for a while…
It’s hard to believe that my exams are now over and done for the year, and I’m actually already starting to prepare for 2010. I [...]

The Abundance Of Choice

Posted by: Sonya on: May 20, 2009

It’s been a few days now since my Sunday morning insomniac induced epiphany, so I’ve had plenty of time to sleep and reflect on the idea. It’s quite silly and amazing really, I’m only tottering between three different degree courses – and I’m already half way through so my options are limited – but even [...]

The Path Not Chosen

Posted by: Sonya on: May 17, 2009

I going to tell you about some of the people in my life, some of the people who have influenced and changed me. The first of these three people I want to tell you about is my secondary school English teacher, Miss Cree.
Ooh, I hope she won’t mind me using her surname? It’s kind of [...]

My New Favourite Website

Posted by: Sonya on: May 14, 2009

http://bluebison.net – He says he’s a children’s illustrator, but I don’t care, everything on this site is unbelievably cute and fabulous. I’m having to try very hard to restrain myself from plastering his drawings everywhere!
On a more grown up note, I’ve discovered this Twitter account where someone is tweeting philosophical quotes and thoughts – http://twitter.com/philosophytweet [...]

Happy New Year!

Posted by: Sonya on: January 28, 2009

Yeah I know, I’m a little late, but I’ve been a very busy girl! After Christmas I got really ill, I got hit by the flu very badly and was out of it for a couple of weeks. Since getting better I’ve tried to do a wee bit of work in the flat, the hallway [...]

Currently Studying

Not a lot! :o) Oh the joys of recess.... I've registered on Philosophy of the Mind for next year, starts the end of January but I will be starting preparatory work real soon.

Last Movie

2012 - Well, it's not as bad as people are saying, just so long as you take it on face value and ignore the... err..., shall I say 'plot'? The first half of the film where everything gets destroyed is actually really cool and definitely worth seeing, the second half, once they get to China, hmm... not so much.

Last Book

The Men Who Stare at Goats - Jon Ronson - I've seen the film, and now I've read the (signed!) book. It's an interesting contrast. The film is quite 'feel-good' and only hints at the Dark Side, but the book, the second half in particular, goes in to quite some detail on how Jim Channon's ideals have become warped and corrupted in to the disturbing forms of psychological torture that the military has been using in recent years. Very good and informative read.
