YAY: I got "Bad Property" accepted for the York Graduate Conference (I suspect they take everyone, but still, first conference woooo. Now I just need to whittle it down to 20 minutes including jokes about...cholera, possibly. Or W.T. Stead, who is possibly more inherently hilarious).
NAY: It just took me an hour and a half to write the first 230 words of the Poetry of Loss essay. And most of those are taken up by the inscription on Keats's grave.
YAY: I will probably be the only writer ever to express sympathy towards Severn and Brown's massively-missing-the-point embellishment of Keats's intended self-authored epitaph, "Here lies One Whose Name was writ in Water".
NAY: My blood sugar levels are plummeting.
YAY: I'm going to go and get some ice cream from La Cremeria and walk around in the museum gardens. And then I'm headed to the Victorian Society Quadrille Social.
NAY yet also YAY: The fact that I'm going to a quadrille social definitively proves that I am an enormous nerd.

Mystery box on it's way, jeg skal bare bestemme meg for hvordan jeg skal pakke den først
ja, det er GANSKE spennende
Apropos:
Jeg har The Victorian NO 26 November 2007: Redundant Churches - Who cares? foran meg! The Magazine of the Vicotiran Society!
"Redundant Churches - Who cares" syns jeg er en utmerket tittel.
Lengst bak er en liste med book reviews, en hel mengde fantastiske bøker som er potensielle julegaver til meg. "God's Architect: Pugin and the Building of Romantic Britain", "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly: An Architectural Walk through Bradford City Centre and Little Germany" og kanskje først og fremst "The English House", en nyutgitt og nyoversatt utgave av Hermann Muthesius' "Das Englische Haus"!
