OK, I admit it, I was bored. I was supposed to be reading about medieval children in London, and instead got sidetracked for half an hour doing the following. I realize that only three people tend to read this journal, however, I did it anyway. All the answers are in our web page. If you don't know where that is, I suppose there will be ( Read more... ) -
Washington, DC
Jeff and I took a trip to Washington on Sunday. It was a trip arranged by one of my professors. We met up with my class at 7 am for the trip down. After 4 hours on the road, we arrived at the National Gallery of Art and went downstairs for a bite of lunch. Expensive, but not so much as the Met here, which sells sandwiches that purport to be ( Read more... ) -

Miscellaneous nothings...
So, the Harry Potter movie came out two and a half hours ago, and I did not go see it. I was here writing about Berengar of Tours again.

What can ( Read more... ) -

I haven't really done that in a while, and I ( Read more... ) -
A day in the life...
First of all, the school board in Kansas is stupid. I quote the Kearney, NE paper "In addition, the board rewrote the definition of science, so that it is no longer limited to the search for natural explanations of phenomena." The concept of redefining science is ... staggering. The whole article is depressing. Of course, it ended on this note ( Read more... ) -
Meeting
I have a meeting in an hour and a half to discuss a paper I wrote with my professor and my semester project. I want to discuss my paper about as much as I want a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. We are having meetings instead of class today for this purpose, and it makes me fear that somehow, some way, something is horribly wrong with what I ( Read more... ) -
Dijon Swiss Cheesesticks
Dijon Swiss Cheesesticks are good. They remind me of the cheesesticks you get at La Madeleine, which is a restaurant I very much miss. Terribly. Outside La Madeleine, French food is generally overpriced crap or way too authentic. You have to understand that the French, in reality, eat some really weird shit. Although considered to be some of ( Read more... ) -
