The Minor Excitements
Feb. 20th, 2004 02:52 amLast night, or early this morning really, I spilled water all over my desk. Fortunately, it all went away from the computer. But there was pleny of paper to get soaked. Including my checkbook. So now the register and my remaining checks have a nice wavy bottom. I also managed to get ink all over my hands from leaky fountain pens while I was in the process of cleaning up. Kleenex are not the best things to use to mop up spills, but that's all I had at hand.
Today I was accosted by the NMPIRG people before and after lunch. While on my way to lunch I managed to escape, but not without the guy commenting on my Lorien leaf pin and burbling something about Galadriel and the bosque. On the way back from lunch I was less lucky. But I still managed to get away without having to promise any financial contribution.
Yesterday I went to a dissertation defense (spelled it the American way this time...), which was interesting, and to an MSSA movie night, which was fun. Today Dr. O gave a talk on the movies Braveheart and The Mists of Avalon. It was just before Modern Phil., and I could have stepped out before questions and gotten to class on time, but I didn't. I'd have been fifteen or twenty minutes late, so I didn't go. I probably didn't miss much. This just means I have to actually invest some effort into studying now.
