I should not be making buttermilk pancakes and drizzling blueberry jam over them. Alas, when The Joy of Cooking said they come out best if the batter is refrigerated for 6 hours or longer - i knew i was doomed. Although i have to get up very early for school tomorrow (and the day after [...]

 I'm a student pursuing a doctoral degree in late medieval history. My main interests include but are not limited to Latin, Italian, cultural theory, educational curriculum, historiography, cognitive processes, language-theory, gender relations and THE WESTERN CANON (mwahaha); i am not particularly interesting, avant-garde or risque; My main hobbies include the exciting activities of cooking, baking, going to the gym, eating green apple-caramel lollipops, restaurant reviewing and acting as child-like and sassy as possible. I keep these entries from the years of my life - no matter how i feel about them today - available because i find it useful to revisit events i now interpret differently. My name is heather, i'm of Montreal and i was born in the nefarious, ominous year 1984. |
A slight oversight on my part - bringing only Camus’ La Peste to read on the bus as “break” reading from my school reading - the introduction to the Decameron when i am, myself, suffering from a bout of sinus cold. Loverly. just loverly. Wikipedia is, by far, one of the greatest innovations of our age. It does for the information available on the internet what Boyle’s innovation did for the scientific method (he got a group of reliable witness to attest to the “fact” of the vacuum created within his laboratory - the facts were now represented by [...] Ah. Harry Potter, Peter Rabbit, Curious George, Doctor Seuss, the Berenstein Bears, Clifford, Olivia, the Babysitters’ Club, The Borrowers, Watership Down - how i love thee. Supposedly if you’ve seen over 85 movies, you have no life. There are 240 movies on this list. Feel free to steal my “work-avoidance” material. This week began with the best intentions for actually getting work done - but i’ve since rec’d a curveball of minor car accidents, class cancellations and one horrible, dry cough [...] Last Sunday evening i helped Veronica study for her astronomy test. during the course of this very interesting task, the status of Pluto as a dwarf-planet came up for discussion. I loved this article, so i thought i would share. I might even look into some of the books this writer has published… I have been here for six hours…the only work i have managed to complete was the marking of two essays. Smack me. Please. i haven’t written ANYTHING in a week. The combination of Easter, commemorative slumming around and then a high fever has resulted in my being no further ahead today than i was at this time one week ago. The deadlines are moving closer, not just because time is moving forward but because they are being moved [...] uncomfortable chair and hunched typing posture can be overcome by the wearing of a very soft, knit sweater and the removal of a bra - if there are security cameras in the McClellan library, i bet the guards were laughing… |
