Courtly Love

[jazzy_dave]

I seem to have woken up early again and hence decided to add to the journal. In fact,  I was awoken with another thud. The cat had climbed over my stack of books and felled them, including a heavy Oxford Thesaurus and a hardback on Bebop Jazz.

Talking of books, I am now halfway through the Foucault book and almost finished the Zizek essay "On Woman and Causality", which is about courtly love and the object of desire being unobtainable. Seems rather appropriate for a week that contains Valentines Day.

I studied Courtoisie to an extent as an undergrad but it always made me feel uneasy and as though I should go and look for a pedestal!
