eveglassFirst and most importantly: If anyone was confused by my somewhat-cryptic reference to Topin Wagglegammon, the niftiest day of the year, Eric has actually explained what it is. I include this link only because I was instrumental in founding (or at least discovering) the holiday, and feel that if Eric is going to credit me, by name, the least I can do is send my readers to see it.
Next, I was feeling really good about the Origny Saint Benoite project yesterday. I was. I'd got 2 pages transcribed and was feeling happy about the whole thing. "What happened?" I hear you asking. Well, today my Prof. (for whom I am doing this paper) greeted me by telling me she wasn't sure if my topic was a good one. She hadn't had time to think about it. This, you might understand, annoyed me greatly, especially since most of the rest of the manuscript won't ARRIVE for another 3 weeks. I was extremely dejected through most of my morning class.
In the end, she grudgingly agreed to let me do it. So I'm back where I started now. Ah, the status quo. How elusive you have been lately.
As a point of note, I will be mostly incommunicado until about 9:30 tonight. So don't expect me to respond to anything before that. You have been warned.
