oh my gosh dorm rooms are the same /everywhere/. even across the atlantic, apparently.
Not even a dorm - I live in a house of which I have slightly more control over how I decorate my room. It’s good to know that Americans had similarly pretentious faux-academic decorations, though. I’ll...

Tell me more about the stuff on your wall!
I love my wall. The rest of my home may be a cavernous dirty hellhole, but the wall’s remained intact. I have:
a) A postcard of Hadrian crushing a peasant; Alexander; and a Caryatid, all from the British Museum, a favourite haunt of mine;
b) Virgins,...
I’m so bored of puerperal fever.
Y’all should’ve listened to Semmelweis, 19th century medical professionals. It would have saved me from writing about the dangers of unclean forceps.
Though it did lead me to an article on Wikipedia about a woman who performed a successful caesarean on herself a few years back. That was both interesting and absolutely terrifying.

I hate vaginas.
I’m so sick of writing about them.
I cannot wait till these two essays are in.
Then I can be happy once again.

Good to see DW fandom freaking out.
Personally I’m hoping that they both go permanently. I’m in a bad mood with fandom rn.
And can the new one be something more interesting, like a lesbian or a lizard or historical or all of the above? Not that I really trust Moffat’s writing/showrunning these days.

I’ve written the essay title.
I’m feeling rather accomplished.
SHAME IT’S DUE IN NEXT THURSDAY.
Also, it’s an interesting module (Women and Gender in 18th and 19th century Britain) but the essay questions are so bloody dull.

I’m frying oven chips in the vague hope that they’ll best better.
I’m on a one way road towards an early heart attack.

A cautionary tale: Kony 2012 – The backlash →
….As I tracked the story shift on my Twitter feed, I saw a couple of tweets from Rosebell Kagumire, a Ugandan journalist whose opinion I value highly. I met Rosebell at a climate change conference but she’s a braver reporter than that. Back in 2005 she was reporting on the Joseph Kony story itself. Here’s one of her tweets that caught my eye.
I asked Rosebell to expand and here’s what she told...
Oh god I’ve just commented.
I’m going to have no one liking me in AMS by the end of the day, am I?
Lots of people off of my course talking about the whole Kony 2012 thing on tumblr, and saying things like “stop being cynical” and “it’s about awareness” etc etc, and claiming that people are only criticising it to seem ~individual~.
I’d get involved but I have to admit that I don’t know enough about it to be slugging it out with acquaintances on...

Also I now appear to have an official UMass online account, so I assume I’ve been accepted? I’m somewhat confused, as this is the first piece of communication I’ve received since submitting my application to UEA a month ago.
But it’s exciting nonetheless. There are vastly more History modules than I thought there would be. How exciting. Would it be cheating to take modules...
I like getting recommendation e-mails from Amazon.
Today they want me to buy 12 cans of Heinz cream of tomato soup.

Star Trek 2, even more photos
deareje:
Several photo agencies have updated with more pics, so here we are. I won’t lie. I’m ridiculously excited about Benedict in Star Trek.
I’m drunk and listening to Destiny’s Child.
What am I doing with my life.
