Knitting Content, yes, but Mostly Links
First things first: Knitting Content. Have finished a leper bandage. Am about half done with the vintage cardi. Have nearly finished the first thistle panel of "Margaret Tudor." Will be sewing up the glitzy Colinette pullover tonight.
There. I do too knit.
However, my knitting time is about to be Severely Curtailed, for a couple of weeks at least. In the next 10 days I must, besides all the regular jobs, both domestic and academic: 1) grade midterm exams and papers and turn in the midterm grades, 2) create that Perseus costume I promised the child, and 3) write the paper on Morris dancing I'm giving Very Soon at my favorite regional medievalist conference. Luckily for me, I found the abstract I sent in originally, and apparently, I not only had a thesis already, it's defendable. Cool. That'll expedite things.
In an earlier blog entry I extolled graduate students for their gifts of Wonderful Links, but I dunno, I may have to take this back, as now I'm getting more of them, and occasionally these things are dangerously seductive.
As for instance, this site, which can eat up a bunch of time, if you're not careful, and get yourself hooked into the exciting adventures of Cat Town.
But, hey! Academics! Did you know you could buy these extraordinarily impressive action figures? (I expect to be seeing them show up on the desks over in the graduate student office soon. Whap! Take that, Anthony Giddens! Eat chalk, Michel Foucault! Pow! Very useful, I'd think during exam time.)
