So, one of the perks of volunteering at Oxfam is first dibs on all the secondhand clothes that come in. I have been looking for another coat that I can wear, but so far hadn’t found anything in my price range. Grace, my store manager, pointed out a really nice coat that hadn’t made it [...]

Founder’s Feast
Posted in Uncategorized on November 29, 2005 | Leave a Comment »
I just got back last night from spending the weekend in Oxford with Thad. The highlight was definitely being able to attend Founder’s Feast on Friday! The evening definitely lived up to my expectations (based on what Thad had told me) as far as food and drink was concerned. Thad mentions a lot of the [...]
Happy Thanksgiving!

It really is a bit strange to be away from home for Thanksgiving for the first time, especially in a country where it’s not a holiday! I had a presentation early this morning, which actually went pretty well. It was definitely a bit of an out-of-the-ordinary presentation, filled with loads of images, and lovely dressed-up [...]

This is pretty funny. (click on the link to watch the video)
I still have not come to terms with the fact that this man is the current president of the US! Ugh…..
Harry Potter!

Went to the midnight showing of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire last night – it was great! All of the kids have definitely grown up a lot since the last movie, and there were a lot of cool special effects. Dumbledore threw me off a little, because I watched the Sorcerer’s Stone again [...]
Lectures and Term Papers and Reading, Oh my!

Today one of my tutors was particularly entertaining during lecture, mostly because he spent a significant amount of time bashing Anthony Giddens and making critical references to Tony Blair. He said at one point, “taking his argument apart is like stealing sweets from children,” (regarding Giddens) which was followed by a round of laughter from [...]
A fun weekend, revisiting Lewes, and dressing up!

Thad and I had a really fun weekend in Brighton. We both got a decent amount of Christmas shopping done, saw a few movies, and also made a trip to Lewes yesterday. After being there for Guy Fawkes last weekend, I knew I wanted to go back sometime soon and see the town when everything [...]
Endless entertainment

I have discovered something to keep me entertained if I’m looking to waste a little time (which I am doing tonight, since Thad’s train is late and I already have all my work done – wooohooo!)
Google Video is a wonderful (and strange) thing. You can see anything from this, to this, to this, [...]
Whew!!

Just finished writing the first academic paper that I have written in over two years! I would tell you what it’s about, but I am so tired of writing and thinking about the concept of “civil society” that I don’t think I can. I am done for now, and hopefully when I look over it [...]
