It worried me that I was spending so little time writing for my thesis. It also worried me that I was spending so little time reading for my English classes. Then it occurred to me that I'm studying Latin on a not-quite-daily basis, and I'm reading for my thesis like it's nobody's business. I've been buying and consuming books like it's my job.

Well kids, I'm back. It's St. Patrick's Day, and I happened to be in Dublin for part of it. Like most things that have a lot of hype, it wasn't worth the time. There were a lot of people, more than I can count using all my fingers and toes and bones and organs and pieces of clothing. There were a lot of people. I am not a people person. BUT, I did ( Read more... )
