Well. I had originally had plans to get a lot of things done today, including the various things ordered by my doc, but it was freakin' -32C outside so I just figured, no. I'll stay inside. Plus, I have no idea if the buses are running properly now. Give it maybe a couple days. But man, it's just so frustrating. Times like this, I wish I had a car ( Read more... )

Well. My plans for the day totally didn't turn out the way I had thought they would. I'd originally intended to be productive. You know, clean the house, get outside... haha, it totally did not happen. But that's all right. I can do some of that tomorrow.

One thing I did do today, though, was do a bloody epic roleplay thread with a friend. And by ( Read more... )

Archaic Mark is a 19th-century forgery, not a medieval manuscriptOn the one hand, it's a damn shame that it isn't real. On the other hand, I've always found forgeries fascinating. I like speculating about the motivations behind their creation, and the process that the creator went through to get the final product. It's just so neat ( Read more... )

Paris rediscovers its first medieval fortifications
"An excavation on the rue de Rivoli is currently uncovering the first Medieval city fortifications of Paris."

Today was absolutely unremarkable. I got some things done, but not enough. I have a presentation on Tomson Highway's Kiss of the Fur Queen Thursday morning, and I am stressed as fuck ( Read more... )

Today has been exhausting. I'm not even sure why, as I didn't do anything to cause me to be so tired. Maybe it's just the day. Either way, I feel as if I could fall over at any minute. I actually did fall asleep this evening accidentally. Woke up at ten o'clock or so. It's a pain in the ass, because I was roleplaying at the time - was waiting for a ( Read more... )

Today started off badly. I woke up full of absolute irrational rage. In my half-awake state just before rising, I'd been contemplating various issues that made me angry - I can't remember if it was because of a dream or not - and that resulted in me feeling rather not-good, to say the least. A brief conversation with someone before I went to school ( Read more... )

Before I start, I want to share something cool. While I was frantically working on my essay last night, I had to check something related to the Canterbury Tales, and the resource I used was the digitized pages of the General Prologue from the Ellesmere Manuscript. That's the MS that the portrait of Chaucer in my icon comes from. Check it out, it's ( Read more... )

I promised I would go to bed early today... wtf happened? Oh, right, I popped in a movie and lost track of time. Anyway ( Read more... )

Well. I was going to do the laundering tonight, but that plan didn't play out. When I went down I found that the machines were going, and I wasn't about to wait around until 10:30 just to get my laundry done, let me tell you. However, I did happen to notice that there was no water on the floor, which means they finally (after what, six months?) ( Read more... )

Today was utterly unremarkable. Though I woke up at a semi-decent hour in spite of fucked-up sleeping schedule, I still didn't go out and about much during the day, because I was expecting a package. Normally this company sends its stuff out on time, and it arrives either early or on time, but apparently not this time (was scheduled to arrive today ( Read more... )
