Feeling better.
Better enough, that is, to realize that it will only increase my personal store of bitterness and not even be amusing to relate the absolute ridiculosity of my attempting-to-get-well experience.
On the up side I've got 20 pages of the proposal written (good pages? that remains to be determined), and nowhere that I can go until Tuesday (sorry about 13 de Mayo, I'm sure you don't all want what I've got). So I have a chance of getting the proposal in by Wednesday with a minimum of hair-pulling.
So on to something more interesting.
Doctorice and I have been batting back and forth ideas for our school's English T-shirts. Frankly, some of them have been very funny.
So I'm compiling a list. Let me know if y'all think of any others.
University of ------- English
- I would prefer not to
University of ------- English
- Heart of Darkness
University of ------- English
- It is bitter, bitter... but I like it because it is bitter, and because it is my heart
University of ------- English
- Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn.
- provided that nothing like useful knowledge could be gained from them, provided they were all story and no reflection, she had never any objection to books at all.
University of ------- English
- for the stress of circumstances, Fred felt, was sharpening his acuteness and endowing him with all the constructive power of suspicion.
These are, of course from Melville, Conrad, Crane, Lovecraft, Austen, and Eliot
Perhaps we should have t-shirts made or something.
Anyway, back to convalescing

From the other Eliot:

I was just about to come in with many more Eliot lines, but I would totally wear Jett's contribution.
Also:
University of Chimera English
These fragments I have shored against my ruins
University of Chaos English
Hieronymo's mad againe
And, finally:
University of Imago English
There would have been a time for such a word.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day
To the last syllable of recorded time,
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death.
