I have a new friend. Realizing I am going to be spending an inordinate amount of time at the library . . . for probably the rest of my life, I went out today and bought a thermos, the big green Stanley kind. This thing is amazing, not only will it not break or spill, it holds a whole pot of tea and keeps it hot. I put the tea in there three hours ago and it's still almost hot enough to burn my tongue. I mean, really, where has this been all my academic life?? It's really big, though, I feel hard core carrying it around campus, it and my well used Beowulf book, with my sweater. So scholarly. Yay. Hmm, except the copy of Beowulf that I got from McKay yesterday was previously owned by someone who thought fit to tell the readers of Anglo-Saxon epic that "Chanse has a nice assssssssssssss". This just clarifies everything in Beowulf.
