Update time
Good evening people of LJ land.
I am having such a nice, relaxing night. It's great. I've been doing something or other every night for eight nights in a row (not just going out, but CinSoc stuff too for example), and it's great to be sitting here doing nothing. I'm watching Animal House, picking my nose and eating flapjacks. It's amazing. I was supposed to go out tonight for a social thing, but screw it. I need some me time dammit. I can be afford to be selfish for once.
I've also decided to change my dissertation topic. This will be for the final time though. I'm doing...Hemmingway! It's basically because I've been reading a Pinter biography/criticism thing, and I'm not sure I can read his stuff for a whole term as it seems very samey. It's probably not, but I don't particularly want to take the risk. Although Hemmingway is not exactly going to be Mr Variety, I'm going to focus on a mixture of biography and his fiction (which is in itself divided up into short stories and novels...and some of these are more autiobiographical than fictional. And yeah, he's great too, and there's a bunch of stuff on him in the library, so it's all cool.
In other news, I'm going to see The Sound of Music in July! Yes, July. Tickets were more or less impossible to get until then. Yes, it's also an incredibly gay thing to do too. But I like to play around with the stereotype sometimes for sociological reasons. Who am I kidding? The Sound of Music is just fabulous!!
In further news, it's getting close to christmas! I am loving it. I looooove xmas. Do I have permission to sing xmas songs? And dress in red? And.....
OK, but I do love xmas so :-)
