Feeling a bit better now. Thanks, everyone. Combination of you guys, chocolate chips, and "The Nanny" worked wonders.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Don't understand it. Normally a couple gulps of Coke keep me up for hours. But with ubber headache, it made me pass out, and now headache gone. Hopefully for good. It was only about 15 minute nap. During "Chuck".

Thanks, all that gave me feedback. It helped, and I WILL send the damn form tonight, just you wait...
And hairpets and {{}} and Health!Dammit to omnis, Stpeh (just got the Dalmatian story - I'm sorry, dear) and Hil.
Sail, I hope you had a great first day at work. Jess, that school sounds awesome.
Dante's Internet is so very funny. Here's the DickensURL I got when linked to it: [link] (DickensURLs are always right-on).
I'm kind of awake (damn you, channel 4, for airing China Beach that late at night w/o a normal rerun. You know I cannot resist this), but the only thing that makes me think of leaving the house and not going back to bed is getting a walnut-chocolate energy snack from the Holy Vending Machines of my campus. There's nothing in the world, besides getting channel 4 to air China Beach at a time that won't make my curse myself when waking up the following day, that I want more than that walnut-chocolate energy snack right now.
Well, I've bitched enough, for now. Time to make something out of this day. Cuppa tea, and I'm out of here.
I still love you all, btw.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
Calli, you are in luck. The only definite answer I got from the interwes is that Vorlesungen ¨uber den Islam was published in 1910, and was translated into English, without the approval of Goldziher in 1917. When that was discovered, the book was quickly withdrawn by the publisher. But, since it was translated in 1917, it means that the copyrights were expired, and you know what that means: it's available for free downloading on the interwebs.
I didn't get a clear answer whether and how much Introduction to Islamic Theology and Law and Muslim Studies are based of/translations of Vorlesungen ¨uber den Islam in their English editions. Some sources and reviews claim "a lot", others "not at all".
I hope that helps.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
My thought for the day: I hate supermarkets. They never have any good gluten-free bread. I'm going back to grocery shopping online.
Health~ma to all who need it.
Teppy, I'm very glad to hear that things are looking better for the doggy.

This. (Currently on third cup of Yorkshire Gold tea. It's not getting me going on the writing yet. And you should see my 'to do' list. I've got deadlines up until April and probably well beyond AND I'M NOT EVEN EMPLOYED. Hmph.)

Is true! Hee.

My office delayed opening until 11, due to icy roads. Which is nice of them, but I got up before 6, as usual, because I didn't know this would happen. I do like a leisurely morning, though.

Nobody warns people that academia is evil, ha?
ION.
I was on the grass, having lunch. I put it down for a second, to look for a book in my bad. The next moment, it was gone, and a cat near by seemed very happy. And with my lunch. In another time, I sat down to read a book and have a lunch. About 30 minutes after it, I'm looking up again, and 5 cats are staring at me.
So if anyone will ever tell you that cats don't like hummus and falafel, please let them know that they are laying lairs who lie.
I may have started today two hours later than I thought and unmotivated, but reading and thinking was good.
Right. Back to the library, away!
