Off to catch the bus for another thirteen hours at the library.

(Just looking at that sentence makes me die a little inside.)

Or: many of you east-coasters will have just gone to bed after staying up too late to RP. I will be getting kicked out of the library at the same time that you're leaving work tomorrow. Today. Whatever.

Conclusion: you should tell me/leave me nice things in the comments so that I can regain a little of my will to live during coffee-breaks. Bonus points if said things involve attractive celebrities, silly comment-fic, or animals adopting other animals.

No! No it is not! It is ugly and underheated and makes undergraduates jump through ridiculous hoops for the 99.9% of the collection which they are not even allowed take outside the library building once they finally get their hands on it! WE HATES IT.

But I am considerably more optimistic today, and I want to ring up a Professor Anthony Harvey and thank him for that, because he is a SEXY BEAST that writes about Goidelic lenition and Latinate consonantal gemination and the relationship betwixt in a way that MAKES SENSE and that I can UNDERSTAND and that is actually PRETTY INTERESTING.

(It is sad that finding an academic I can actually read is a capslock-worthy occasion.)

ETA: Though it probably doesn't help that a large chunk of yesterday was devoted to interminable tracts by this guy. Now I know: he's not only PART of mind-numbingly uninteresting and esoteric history, he WRITES it, too. And I have had to study both. God damn you, Eoin MacNeill. GTFO MY LIFE ALREADY.
