The Research Day
live blogging the research day: having gone to bed at 10.00pm gave self another hour in bed. Have been to bank and bought fruit, and now have an hour in a coffee bar to read the manuscript I am overdue reporting on.
Student email inquires if there are jobs in area of university I have nothing to do with.

Thinking Aloud: Gender and Genre - or, The Devil's Avocado
I'm trying to get a grip on a Big Idea for a research project so this is almost needing shooting down - but gently. I'm not quite sure whether what I'm writing here is self-evident or nonsense (which is hardly a binary). I think I'm trying to work out what I need to attune my critical antenna to as I start researching a given set of books. I'm ( Read more... ) -
Still Not Dead, Honest
This summer I have a) finished a book and b) not yet finished a book. The fact that that was not "finished two books" means that the paper I was going to write for the Weird Council conference had not been written when I left home on Thursday. Nor, because mine host got back from work at 5.30 rather than 6.30, was it written by 6.30 on Thursday. ( Read more... ) -
Ironic
I've written at least 11,000 words on this novel already. You'd think 1,100 would be easier. -
"Last night I dreamt I went to Mendeley again"

If you highlight ten records, you can cut and paste or drag and drop and magically it's done. But, say, you have 277 records. Doing this 27 times would be tedious. I can select all, but ( Read more... ) -
Photos in Residence
A first batch of photos taken at the Old Lookout is here. Oddly, it doesn't show all the photos I uploaded, but make with the clicky.

Unbridge\Unstares: Day Six
10.00
Hailed by a Brummie in an expensive-looking car, who wants to know where the Pavilion is - I point out it's just behind him and he drove past it. Can he park there? No, and parking on the harbour is £2.50 an hour and £10 for the day, there's a car park at the top of the hill which is cheaper. Where is it? just behind you, look in your wing ( Read more... ) -
Unbridge\Unstares: Day Five
10.15
On the way into the gallery, I was noting how hot it was and how superfluous the jumper was likely to be. As soon as I got off the bus the weather changed and it started to spit with rain. Dropped into Tesco, the old Bakehouse, unlocked, set up, swept up, put the kettle on. Photographed a feather in extreme close up on the black base to the ( Read more... )
