Diversions

File this under "proof that I very much need to return to my usual academic routine." When I'm home all day I screw around on the Internet and lose hours of my life to ridiculous and awesome crap.

Tally of accomplishments, vol. 4

I just submitted my final essay for my theory course, essentially closing the book on that insanely difficult chapter of my education. This essay was no big thing, a final reflection where I basically got to muse about how hard and it was, and what, if anything, I learned. The reflection is for my professor, of course, so it's nicer than what I've written here about theory so far, but still accurate.

I don't have time right now for any kind of outlandish reward, so this has had to do:

I'm in my office right now, finishing up the final paper for my Shakespeare course--this one an honest-to-God seminar paper, with critical references and fresh ideas and whatnot and it's been a difficult slog. It's due via e-mail at midnight and it will be done. It will be done.

You'll have to wait until I finish the paper officially to see what my reward is; it's a doo-hoo-hoozy.

For anybody who's been following the narrative of "Erin struggles with theory" and is dying for resolution, here's the text of the reflection I handed in:

Saturday thoughts don't need structure

I've just been browsing the web and found this shirt:

Want.

Other lazy weekend notes and observations:

  • Why have I just discovered that the wife of Shakespeare and a contemporary actress are name twins? Doesn't that seem like something I would already know?

  • One of my favorite sites devoted to being critical about celebrity fashion, Go Fug Yourself, is in the midst of their Fug Madness bracket tournament. I'm several rounds behind, but expect that Tilda Swinton and Beyonce's crazy sister are making good showings. Interested parties can see the bracket here.

  • I've been bugging Jeremy ever since he started working at a certain unidentified major chain seller of coffee and pastries to use his clout to BRING BACK THE HAM AND CHEDDAR SCONE. He says he does not possess this power. I'll probably try Rachael Ray's recipe, then.
