One's household opera never palls or fails." - James Merrill. Being the blog of a newly Ph.D.'d literature geek looking for a career outside the classroom. Why scholars are melancholy: Robert Burton explains it all for you. Continuing a train of thought about the academic lifestyle, I remembered the section on "Miseries of Scholars" in Robert Burton's Anatomy of Melancholy. And, flipping through it almost at random, came across the following:. Robert Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy. At the same time, t...

One's household opera never palls or fails." - James Merrill. Being the blog of a newly Ph.D.'d literature geek looking for a career outside the classroom. Also, via Burningbird. A post from Alas, a blog on "What to do with those "I'm not a feminist, but." women. See also this Guardian article. Way, of course, I'm not a feminist." And invariably I have to repress the urge to say "You're not a feminist? I'm feeling less aimless today. Probably because the sun has come out for a few minutes.). My mood hasn...

I always knew Walt Disney was a sinister guy. There's a great thread at little.yellow.different. About irrational childhood fears. Many of which involve TV moments that weren't originally intended to be scary. I don't think I was ever freaked out by the Muppet Show or the animated Edward Gorey credits on.

One's household opera never palls or fails." - James Merrill. Being the blog of a newly Ph.D.'d literature geek looking for a career outside the classroom. Epistemology of the postacademic closet: some very non-theoretical ramblings. Over the past couple of days, I've been encountering a constant parade of friends and colleagues I haven't talked to in months. Amazing how everyone reappears when the fall semester starts up. And it seems as if, in every "Oh, I haven't seen you in ages! How was your summer?

One's household opera never palls or fails." - James Merrill. Being the blog of a newly Ph.D.'d literature geek looking for a career outside the classroom. Random literary thought of the day. Has anyone every written anything connecting Frank O'Hara's "Melancholy Breakfast". With Sappho's fragment 168b. The moon and then. The night is now. Goes; I am. Sappho, translated by Mary Barnard). Blue overhead blue underneath. The silent egg thinks. And the toaster's electrical. The stars are in. Sets my teeth on...

One's household opera never palls or fails." - James Merrill. Being the blog of a newly Ph.D.'d literature geek looking for a career outside the classroom. Just blogrolled: The Julie/Julia Project. A blog by "renegade foodie" Julie Powell, who's on a mission to cook her way through every recipe in Julia Child's classic. Mastering the Art of French Cooking.

From my bedroom window right this very moment. Almost total. almost total. last unshadowed sliver of moon hanging in there, just barely. Seas of Tranquility et al. still visible in the shadowed part. oh, there it goes! It looks sort of coppery, only not. Posted by Amanda : 8:10 PM. My big pile of grading?
