today II

Very very slowly, I wrote a proposal for "Crossing the Line: Affinities Before and After 1900" (which is held in 2010 - THE FUTURE!). (I have a paper that is perfect for this conference, but I have no idea whether that came across in the proposal; I was so uninspired today that I'd probably have been better off just writing "I have a paper that is perfect for this conference".) I marvelled at the fact that they never empty the rubbish in the CECS study room. I went to Warehouse at lunch and bought this bag, which I'm wearing with these shoes (but in gray), my pink silk dress, and a pink headband at the wedding this weekend. I listened to this conversation:

"Do you take your coffee strong, Ruth?" (This said in an incredibly rich and dramatic voice.)

"Well, if you put a spoon in it I want it to fall over."

I had "There Is A Light That Never Goes Out" on repeat. I discovered that I'd brought my iPod cable with me, and downloaded the latest two Pang Prego podcasts. I wished the thesis was a little more finished. And I wished it was this weekend right now, now, now.
