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.

Virtually jumping up and down and typing "you can do it!" in all-caps is not going to help, right?

I think I am going to aim for 5 movies.

Wow. Which movies?

Timelies!

Nilly! ::bounce::

I'm really messed up on my sleep. I either have a sinus headache or severe RSI pain or am generally exhausted when work is over so I end up taking a "nap". Which lasts 'til 9ish and then I'm up 'til 2 in the morning, then I'm supposed to get up at 7. This is not working well for me. Yesterday I should have been working on getting the resume together.

Well, I won't be able to escape tonight because I made an appointment to meet a friend to work on job stuff after I get out of my therapist appt.

I have a pink toolset. Some of the tools in it are less than great though.

movies

Joyeux Noel, Tsotsi, Good Night & Good Luck, Transamerica, and Munich.

I am intrigued by Rt. 1 cuisine, namely Kowloon and the German Sausage Kitchen. I also want a roast beef sandwich with a side of cheeseburger at the Kelly's that's on that stretch. It's possible I should stop travelling on Rt. 1 because it puts weird and dangerous ideas in my head.

Anyway.
