Let us say we have two cups and a bucket. Let us also say we are the world’s dorkiest waitress and that we have such a raging passion for a particular tea-tray that we always wish to carry it with us. Let us say the bucket and the cups are all exceedingly full. Let us […]
I can either post here regularly, or, I can do my course-work.
Course-work wins.
Arse.
Three coursework deadlines all at once. Which is mean.
Nothing a coffee-fuelled all-nighter, or two, can’t solve. It’s not like I have to be coherent and speakable and at work the next morning or anything.
No, wait, that was when I was 20.
Damn it.
I’d be posting on the 20th, in fact, I am writing this on the 20th, but BT has run gleefully away with the internet connection and who can say when you will be reading this.
[This applies in any case, as if, God forbid, this is all still up in ten years time, someone could […]
Library of Congress Subject Headings make no sense. I spent the morning wrestling with the definitive four volume 2005 edition, and they make no sense. Also, they make no sense to anyone else either.
I know, I know, I should have done my homework last week. But just think, if I had, I’d no longer be […]
Day in the life of a full-time mature student with a part-time job:
7:00 Get up. No, really, get up. Get up. Get up. Get the hell up already.
7:20 GET. THE. HELL. UP.
7:30 Drink tea in front of computer, with vague intention of reading emails. Find self staring transfixed at the weather report. Give up, brush […]
I have just found out, to my intense irritation, that some of my posts don’t appear in all browsers or at all times or on all computers. I swear, I really swear, I am posting daily. But the internet gremlins are clearly a censorious little bunch of toadstools [with excellent taste, of course - Ed] […]
[Reed wrote this in less than 20 minutes, on Thursday the 1st of November, in a complicated recess of the labyrinthine university library, near Paleontology. There were pigeons roosting on the window-ledge, iridescent in the autumn sunlight. And workmen drilling next-door. Possibly knocking Dutch literature through into Law Studies - Ed].
The man is patient, kind […]
I think I rather owe you all a bit of an update, but I don’t really have anything in particular to say, so this will be a bitty, somewhat under-structured post. Oh well. You love me anyway. Don’t you?
I have successfully endured the second week of term, and the first week of lectures. I think […]
Hang on. Wait. Now wait just a minute. It appears to be the middle of September. Who said it could be the middle of September already? I’m supposed to be enrolling on the third Monday of September.
Which is next Monday.
Which isn’t bloody fair already! I have novels to read! I have novels to write! [Oops […]
