I hate research. I don't want to read or write about Jurgen Habermas in his coffee house. Shouldn't he just drink coffee in a coffee house, not create an entire media theory surrounding it? And then people write books such as 'After Habermas' - as if we need more information about what people talk about whilst having coffee. Get over it. They have coffee, they slag off Tony Blair, they go home. There's a media theory for you.
Ok, ok. I know I should really be embracing this opportunity to expand my mind and write academic crap. But I can't do it. I have the attention span of an ant. Ok, maybe not an ant because they can actually follow a trail all day. I've watched them. I can read for about two minutes and then I start thinking about other things. Like getting a coffee. And the last thing I want to talk about when actually drinking my coffee is the state of the world today.
See, I'm already bored of writing this. How am I going to concentrate for long enough to write 10,000 words on The New Public Sphere? It's just not going to happen.
