Monday, January 12, 2004 And so the madness resumes. After a three-week respite, I'm back to juggling full-time work, part-time courses, regular fitness, book clubs, social engagements, family gatherings, and a hundred other different things in my life. Every year I think something must give. This is all too much. I exist in a near-constant state of exhaustion, anxiety, and crisis. I'm always rushed (and almost always late for everything). Who are the people, I wonder, who have time to watch TV? I watch maybe two to three hours a week - and that's a generous estimate. And I can barely find time to blog. The times of my posts are getting later and later in the day. What certainly seems obvious to me is that I've forgotten how to play. That's why I can't watch TV anymore. I always think I should be doing something else. Something more useful. I think of Foucault and his ideas about the panopticon and about how the qualities of discipline, order, and production have become so entrenched in ourselves that we scarcely need the state to regulate us any more, we regulate ourselves. That seems to describe my life at the moment. Oh god, it's midnight, and I'm talking about Foucault. Time for this cat to call it a night . posted by Cherine | 11:36 PM |
