Further note: new book obsession.  Author called Gorgette Heyer.  It's not so much the substance of her books, but the way she writes them, and the way she writes characters.  The woman was a genius!  And now I find that, exceedingly unexpectedly, my Mum has absolutely loads of her books! <3  Is fate.  Is clear ( Read more... )

 Also known as - I've written my dissertation!! Woot!!  I've still gotta edit, format and cut, etc, that sort of stuff, but the biiig part - the main writing, is all DONE!!  10, 425 words thus far ( Read more... )

Black Sheep is... for lack of a better word... DREADFUL.  I'd forgotten that I promised to watch it with some friends tonight so I wandered along to that before going to the library.  I'd rather have been writing my dissertation.  In fact, I'd rather be undergoing some form of torture.  When I go to hell, it's just going to be a forced watching of ( Read more... )

So, I've just had a very pleasant day.  Woke up ten minutes before my seminar and yet made it on time, as well as contributing (I think) very well.  Went with Bcs to buy her train ticket home, then headed back and did some dissertation work.  Around 2ish I went to a Shakespeare lecture (as a favour to Bcs who didn't want to go alone 'cause she was ( Read more... )

I feel much better today - healthy, wealthy (I wish), happy and wise and all that jazz.  Well, healthy, at the very least, and happier than I was, so it's all good ( Read more... )
