just when you think you're dry out of ideas and source material, A DELUGE!!!!!!!!!

i'm a bit tired but thats ok. didn't feel as if i'd done as much as yesterday but when i looked at the list of things i'd accomplished. hm. chuffed, i am. :)
1. found resources on Philippine publishing and copyright laws (there are an awful lot) i have no idea how i am going to read all this and remember it all. hah!
2. had an interesting chat with astrid and exchanged more chismis on the publishing scene. got it all on file i did...
3. emailed questionnaires to tara sering and gwen galvez. tara replied quickly (with lots of good info!) ms. galvez has yet to respond. *fingers crossed*
4. updated the bibliography
5. reviewed yesterday's notes and commented on them some more
6. added all the other notes, arranged everything into the sections

am i a total nerd for saying i like this now? after a solid block of work at the library i was walking home humming bits of 'button moon' and some random song i heard from shallow hal, taking deep breaths and talking to the flowers. loon.

what i like is that i've come up with an effective system. i read one articel, decided to sum up key points and then all the quotes i marked were grouped under those keypoints. (tagged with enough info so that i know how to cite them when the time comes.) then after each quote i enclose my own thoughts in brackets. along with suggestions to myself as to what to look for next, what to clarify with sources, what certain ideas imply...) ah the shape of genius... ahem.

i've just re-read all this and i sound like a total dork. but yes, this is really what goes on in my head.

pffft!
