Short Post, No Pictures, All Over the Board
If you go and Google "pictures + stewed monkey brains," one of the links will be this page of mine, which contains a picture of the Zen shawl I'd just started, a reference to the noisy little monkey-brain we all carry around in our heads, and a discussion of what we were eating on Juneteenth, which included stewed okra. Now, if you go and Google the same thing, you'll get this page, too. Love the Internet. Just love it.
As you know, I did very well on the anniversary present -- that would be the worm farm -- but now Christmas is coming up, so I need to decide on another present for Sam. I had thought of some stuff, but it's gone right out of my head now, since I found this -- thanks to Rebecca for the link). I am SO looking forward to seeing this in action. Although Sam isn't a workman, he's got lots of workmanlike jobs -- building tree houses, planting herbs, tending the bees --
ok, well maybe not tending the bees in the workman's kilt. Nah. Maybe not.
Now I'm off to work, where I have meetings and a bunch of stuff to write. (That would be the technical academic term for papers, books, administrative reports -- "bunch of stuff.") Yesterday I went to the How to be a Graduate Student class, to explain my research and how I do it. (All the professors are going in turn; excellent intro to the department. Here we are! Take our classes! Or not!) I don't think anybody who was there is now burning with a fierce desire to learn how to read medieval and renaissance manuscripts (though I might have some takers for the Medieval Lit class in the spring) -- mostly I think they're all convinced that they have done the right thing, staying away from the archives.
So it cheers me to learn that, besides stewed monkey brains, you can also find out about "mad people and how Elizabethans viewed them" on this site, on a page that's all over the board -- Elizabethan manuscripts, East Texas haints, Valentine candy for the child. But, as with the googling for pictures of stewed monkey brains, this page contains nothing about the Elizabethan view of insanity.
There was a page on Elizabethan views of naughtiness, but the searchers never found that. Too bad.
Ok, enough of this. Too fragmented. I'll go fragment things that aren't on the Internet. Bye-eeeee.
