Still on Break
I'm attempting to get some work done before the move. During this attempt, something so gross just happened. I bought some Honest Tea to drink in the library. In the library, I noticed the cap was slightly off, but I thought I might have pushed it up when I shoved it awkwardly into my bag. Then I noticed it smelled weird, and (like an idiot) took a ( Read more... ) -
"But It's For Research!" Monday . . . on Wednesday
The Sabbatical might need to take a bit longer, but I'm not being productive, so here we go.
I mentioned Debbie Lee's Romantic Liars in an earlier post. The second chapter ("The Goddess and the Anorexic) deals with Joanna Southcott and Ann Moore. Due to an occasional interest in anorexia mirabilis histories, I had heard of Ann Moore, but Joanna ( Read more... ) -

Mountains of typing await me, but I have deluded myself that this particular type of typing will help me keep on track.
"Quick and Dirty Tips" is a website I'm becoming hooked on. It all began with a free iTunes download of an excerpt from Grammar Girl's book, and now it's grown. If you've been reading the site, you may have noticed I struggle with ( Read more... ) -
Miles to go before I sleep
Giant piles of grading have been vanquished. Now I'm realizing all the real work I should be doing. -
Website of the Week Wednesday
I wasn't sure which site to do this week. Then I joined Twitter, because author Laurie Viera Rigler's tweets of Persuasion inspired me to try tweeting Evelina. This lead me to find a tweeter (still unsure on the terminology) called bookglutton, whose site has searchable, embeddable, wonderful copies of books such as Wulf the Saxon A Story of the ( Read more... )
