The future is bright and the work it takes is interesting. My current paper rocks. Yes, rocks. In a 16th century lit theory kind of way.

Latimer

Stephanie Latimer comes today (check her weblog for reports of her visit, perhaps) and so the sun, which we’ve had for a solid two months now, has gone. Maybe Kew or Picasso this weekend, though, both of which would be good. Ah, Pomona people. They warm my heart.
Drama

They’re filming a BBC1 Drama across the road from where I live (the film crew saw me bight it the other day when I was running). It’s in an old, dirty looking Victorian house. It’s a costume drama and it’s got a clever title: It’s called Desperate Romantics, because it’s about people [...]
Sunrise, Sunset

It’s the day before Pesach, a day when you’ve got to get all the bread out of your house, and you’ve got to cook for the sedar that night, and a day, apperantly, when you have to get up and see sunrise.
So. I got up this morning and put on my running duds to go [...]

I finally seem to be back on Google! Yay!
I hope to re-vamp the weblog soon (as you know, it needs it) and up the quality of the posting. Particularly because we’re now on Google again, and this could just be a bit embarrassing. I also seem to turn up in quite a bit of literature [...]
Undergrads

Yesterday I saw a tall Scottish researcher (whose been in the library every day since I started my programme here in September) yell at an undergraduate who took his seat.
Yesterday I saw an undergraduate swear at a very famous literary critic who wouldn’t let her talk to her friend about the facebook gossip.
Today I couldn’t [...]

[Minor] Success!

I get to speak at the King’s College London Postgraduate Conference. How prestigious is that? Not very at all. However, it is good to present at conferences, in any case, and I’ll be presenting the paper that appeals most to the Oxford Professor that will be my my supervisor there, if I [...]
Undergrads

The British Library apparently fills up in the spring with undergraduates. This means if you don’t get into the ‘brary by 10:00 you will have a hard time finding a locker, and a harder time not getting annoyed at everyone. It’s hard to find seats (though easier in Rare Books and Manuscripts), and [...]
Protests
Posted in Uncategorized on April 1, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The Protests were really anticlimactic, though I hear they did close Liverpool Street Station. They’re still supposed to Protest tomorrow, but unless they get serious about it, I don’t think it matters all that much.
