At the cottage. We have a little bit of internet, which is nice. I had some tiresome news, which was less nice. More tilting at the windmills of Swedish university bureaucracy, woot.
But I sat on the cliffs in the sun today and unraveled a couple of the really knotty thesis knots, and I played tennis and I cuddled with my cat, and I wrote about 800 words of a story, edited a friend's medical school statement that she sent me last week, and I got somewhere with the translation I'm working on (and will be paid for!). All in all, I can deal with the tiresome.
Also, my favorite meme is going around again.

Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.

3. Anne Carson, poet and translator
4. Jane Austen
5. Mary Woolstonecraft
And then a whole bunch of others. &feminists;

Date: 2010-08-07 09:09 pm (UTC)Okay, that does it. As soon as I get my loan, I'm going to pay off my library fines and get out the uni's copy of A Vindication of the Rights of Woman. Fuck any of the reading I actually have to do, I've been thinking about reading this for a long time, and you just clinched it.
&Jane Austen; indeed. But I will be checking out the others too. Just, y'know. After Woolstonecraft.
