Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
(300 posts caught up on! It's amazing how behind one night at the movies can get you...)
Anyhoo.
Things I like:
Things I do not like:
ooh, once I get The Research Paper that Eats All My Weekends Starting With My Bottom, I will organize a dim sum outing! (after April 10) (OMG, my paper is due like in a month) (OMGOMGOMG)
Frank, have you been to Kowloon in Saugus?
Also, have you gone to the Thai place in the sad Salem mall place?
And, yes, we went to Marco, and it was SO AWESOME.
Nora, what's the research paper about?
I must have been not-catching-up for way too long. I had no idea that actually reading posts could make me hungry.
[Edited because "mamek" is not a word that I know of.]
All I want to do today is eat and nap. Work keeps getting in the way.
It's a comparison of the status of women professors in a global context, Nilly.
I don't know what countries yet. Or exactly what I'll be comparing. I *do*, however, have a stack of books to start my research and have conquered my university library fear! And now have geeky university library awe. I will be going to the university library where I work, today, for a book, and it's bigger then Boston College's (where I go to school).
And, they have a Women's Studies Reading Room! (my uni) Who knew?

You're Willow!
The research sounds interesting. Since you don't know what the focus would be, there's no point in asking whether it's women professors in specific subjects, or in general, right? So I won't ask.
At this point, in general, but that could change if I find a thread for, say, the science/math professorate that I want to follow.
I'm a-skeered.
YAY!
Actually I distracted myself from work to map out a movie schedule for Saturday. I think I am going to aim for 5 movies.

Frank, have you been to Kowloon in Saugus?
Never been there. I haven't been anyplace out on Rt. 1, other than the Hilltop back when I was a kid. Everything out there just seems so...Rt. 1-ish. Though the old Weylu's Mountain place always amused me in theory.
Also, have you gone to the Thai place in the sad Salem mall place?
I have been there a few times, and I rather like it - good pad thai - but it has been a couple of years at this point. I often have Thai with friends in Boston, so I don't usually crave it when I'm on my own - it's a cuisine I like but don't love.
I have not been to the Thai place on Washington Street in Salem.
