Time Flies
Feb. 20th, 2007 02:40 pmSo. Lent starts tomorrow. That kind of snuck up on me.
Because I am a big, gigantic literature loving dork/geek/nerd, my parents got me (for Valentine's Day/making the Dean's list - excuses we/they are going for) The Riverside Chaucer. Because I've been going on about Chaucer and Masculinity and Koppelman suggested I look into it. It's huge! And wonderful. I'm currently geeking out over Middle English and glossaries and footnotes.
Also, randomly, I always feel weird associated "geek" with the literary stuff I'm into. "Geek" always feels more science/science fiction related to me. There's a very fine distinction between "geek" and "nerd" in my book.
Other than the bird incident, I can't really complain about this weekend. Kirby was fantastic. He's such a good dog. And, of course, the fish posed no problems.
