Newbie. O that we now had here
But one thousand of those women in Wellesley
That do no work to-day!

Senior Shaker. What's she that wishes so?
My sister Shaker? No, my fair sister;
If we are mark'd to act, we are enow
To do our college loss; and if to live,
The fewer women, the greater share of honour.
God's will! I pray thee, wish not one woman more.

I know I haven't posted in quite a while...  So, here's the quick and dirty update ( Read more... )

Your rainbow is intensely shaded red, green, and violet.

What is says about you: You are a passionate person. You feel strong ties to nature and your mood changes with its cycles. Those around you admire your fresh outlook and vitality. You are patient and will keep trying to understand something until you've mastered it.

For my second instalment, I'm going to focus on two very prolific writers who used the same penname, E. C. Tubb and John Russell Fearn.

Some of you know that I am working at a certain library currently on a Science Fiction collection (I won't attach the name to these entries just because I don't know if they will want my possibly inappropriate comments about the material I'm coming across attached to their name...  Heh...)  This Sci-Fi collection is really awesome because it has a ( Read more... )

I just finished watching Hogfather, a two part mini-series based on the Pratchett novel.  It's been a while since I've read the novel, but the mini-series was really cute.  I enjoyed it, even if it wasn't the best filming in the world.  It still left you with that "the universe makes some kind of sense through the human lense" kind-of feeling.  I' ( Read more... )

I'm so glad I finally got to see Assassins staged.  Sam and I caught the last night of Company One's production and it was rather good.  The talent was impressive.  Apparently they made a few diversions from the staging in the script, but it was still a very effective and well put together show.  It's nice to have context for the songs.

Yesterday I ( Read more... )

October is Massachusetts Archaeology Month!  Yaay!

I had a sense of false hope when looking at this website http://www.sec.state.ma.us/mhc/mhcarch/arch07/arch07idx.htm, I thought that the events listed were for this year...  But no...  They were for last year.  I got all excited about the Etruscan lecture...  I can only hope that there will be cool ( Read more... )

My opinon of Stew has gone up.  When I asked about the thrown away groceries he apologized immediately, said that something had been spilled, requiring the entire drawer of my produce to be tossed.  He then volunteered to buy me replacement peaches and carrots which he went out and did.  So, points for him.

I'm going to have to speak to my roommate.  As much as I appreciate the refridgerator being cleaned out, I do not appreicate him throwing out my food.  Three perfectly good nectarines, a bag of carrots that only had one taken out of it, and four eggs (that were admittedly past the expiration date, but I had plans to make bread with them this ( Read more... )
