People keep saying that Sue. And i understand what you mean. But seriously? It's all a mystery.

I found when I listen it to it read aloud, I get most of it, if I follow along with the riverside edition. But damn. It's too hard.

Which is why I have a shirt that says, "Chaucer. Because Shakespeare Was Too Easy."

Has anyone else seen those "guy lives in his car for a week" ads? Does anyone else think they're kind of offensive?

I hate that guy.

House: House-Wilson-Coma!Guy roadtrip! With extra House-Wilson eyefuckage!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I hate that guy.

I watched a full ad for that online by mistake.

I don't see the point. I don't need my car to be livable. Drivable's much more important.

Finally bought ticket home for Christmas. Thank dog that's out of the way.

Thanks for the offer, Kristin. I need the kind of help that's a high-paying job on the west side. Got any? I'm about to become less picky.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I hate that guy.

Me too.

Kat, my dad did his thesis on Chaucer. Loves the stuff. I like it, but love it? Not so much. I did memorize the Prologue in Middle English for one of my undergrad classes, though, which is useful only so far as it baffles high school students.

Ummm....Unless I can talk my school into starting a krav class, I got nothin'. Dammit.

I know the first 18 lines of the prologue (as do my students!) and the prologue for chaucer's troilus. Oof. I should go work on my paper.

2 good things about today.

1) my brand new iPod which was Not SO Much with the working all day (grey face, would not reset), snapped to when I plugged it in to the iBook.

2) I just found $95 in my paypal account that I had forgotten to wire to my checking account. RAWK!

Oh, House is going to do something wonderfully awful. And if anyone thinks that's a spoiler, they don't know House.
