Have two papers due tomorrow by 6 pm. I'm about 20 pages in, which is too bad, because I'm only 3/4 way done, and it supposed to be no more than 15. Editting is going ot suck. You guys all now I have serious issues with economic use of words. I can never get to the point. Bleh.

Second ones a biblio. I need to go through and lcean up all the grammer, what a messy pain. It'll probably take longer than compiling it did, seeing as how you need ot check the commas and periods. Definately not the part of lib science I am interested in. I don't see how anyone could be, its boring.

But it's done with tomrrow night, so got me alot of really strong turkish coffee and a ragusa chocoalte/hazelnut bar and I'm doing alright.

Lol...does absence not make the heart grow fonder? :wink:

I asked you to tell me like it is women...not how it is!! :wink:

You remind me of myself Writing too much (however, teachers here don't complain) and being a procastinator (apparently).

We need Wertham for that!!

affengeil

No, as every Moulin Rouge fan knows: Absinth makes the heart grow fonder

impressive

Nah, it's finals. I'm not that bad with procrastination, I just got bogged down on the biblio cause it was boring (took too long doing it, went very slow) and because my film class had a final paper due last thursday I was working on. I was a little late jumping the boat on this one, because I kept reading books trying to think what I would write about. Kept thinking if I read another book than I'd get an idea. Didn't happen. Now I'm stuck writting a kind of aimless paper, which is probably why its so freakin' long. I'm still not sure where I'm going with it.


Ok, how it is Miru. Hmmmm..

I think you're great mix of respect and flirtation. Nice to see someone that doesn't lay it on thick, and is veyr honest, but still somehow manages to be a charmer. Doesn't hurt that you're pretty good lookin' too. :wink:

He'll be in denial over that #-o

What are your papers on, Dolce?

There was much speculation that Shakespeare took a African woman of negro decent as his true love. And, though there was much aesthetically different about her to the women of his time in his dwellings, his love for her was a true and strong and pure as a mum with a newborn child. His sonnets about her were said to be his only recourse of declaring his love publicly to her. A desperate, maddening love masked behind living words.

Well that flew over me head. I'm not into Moulin Rogue. Sorry mate, wasn't my cuppa.

One of thems a boring bibliography. Its just 100 entries, having to specify which are sources, which are citations from those sources, if some of those cites serve as sources for other cites. I had to keep reshuffling around the orginatation because I oculdn't come up with a good way to do that. Even so I kind of slapped the info on there and now need to go through it and cite it according to "the turabian style" oooooooo. Ugh. I never really got why people were so picky about biblio styles. If you get all the info up there, and are consistent within one paper, I don't care if you use a comma or a semicolon after the publishing location. Anyways it on Edward Sheriff Curtis, who was an American photographer in the early 1900's. I was all psyched...thought I'd learn about him. Nah. You pretty much just go pull a book to skim it and find other books and then go pull those books. Didn't even take books home to read, it just has to be done onsite at several libraries. Very remedial. I still have to write up a description of my process...which was pretty much standing around flipping through books irritated. I think I'll try to say something nicer though.

The paper is on Historigraphy of the Conquistadors and is much more interesting. I'm writing about how they are being handled in special collections and ar tlibraries, and trying to weave in a bit of art history about three of them. One of them I spoke with neostorm about, the Florentine Codex....pretty fun. But I don't have a good "angle." I still respond viscerally to these travelogues and am used to talking about them art historically (or historically)...I'm having a tougher time tieing it into libraries. But I'm pretty much vcovering history of the book, and expensive facsimiles, and why they are important to have instead of just tons of cheap copies of these books. Pretty much cause I'm a classicist, and like the idea of perserving some physical sense of age. I think its very important to society today to have a concept of collective memory, and the Spanish Conquest is a big part of that. See? I'm already not making much sense. #-o Grrrrrrrrr.

Thanks, mate! His sonnets also represented a big turn, away from Petrarchan sonnets because they didn't glorifiy a woman's beaty, but much rather pointed out the imperfections, yet expressed love to that woman despite the imperfections.

Tell that to Zlatko

I almost fell asleep reading through the first paragraph and imagining how much "fun" it is (don't worry, the same would happen to you if you read through the dozens of Economy papers I learned by heart for my first State Exam that was yesterday )

The second sounds more interesting, indeed, even though I also think that talking about Conquistadors historically is most likely much more interesting than trying to write about it from the angle of library science (which I don't even fully understand).

Well, personally, I will spend the entire day revising for my State Exam in English tomorrow (nned to recap the topics of Shakespearen/Petrarchan sonnets, The Elizabethan World Picture, cloning/GM foods/genetic engeneering under the aspects of moral etchis, American dream/Westward movement, (illegal) immigrants, Colonization of the Mind, Caribbean and utopias/distopias.

Yes, exactly. She also apparently breaks his heart time over as she gives her love to other men (they are not exclusive..though methinks he would wish it so).

This ode (sonnet) to the Dark lady..is meant to be a parody of traditional love sonnets well known by Petrarchand used by Sidney. He mocks it in a light manner, rather showing the simplicities of his lover, than glorifying and painting her in a unreal or unmatchable light. A rejection to popular practice. He does however, embrace the Petrarchan structure in ending of one of his sonnets to her.

He's absolutely right. He posted his Economy papers in the GCT and the place went dead for a few hours :razz: :razz: :razz:

nein zweifel

Technical stuff and number crunching will suck the life right out of the most energetic people on the planet.

Good luck on exams tomorrow Arthur [-o<

A step above from sheep I'd say.

So, I'm here during your peak hours Dolce. Gimme some lovin'! :ivn:

Done!...til Saturday's stuff

But anyways, I'm hallucinating a wee bit too much now to bother trying to get anymore work done, so instead I'm going to going to lavish you with attention now.

What time is it over there? 5 am?

Australian girls are outstanding. Must be a great gene pool down under.

Survey says....

X X X :wink:

Too late my dear.

It's just after midday here...I can keep my stables waiting any longer...off to work I go...Hi-ho..hi-ho!

Lavish away anyhoo.. :razz:

And for but for one brief moment I was sure the vision before my eye was Miru resplendant.

But alas *tears*

I see now it was just just the eye, mind (and stomach0

playing tricks on my heart *more tears*

Oh wretched day!
