I think it seems unlikely that I'm going to make it in to Oxford today, which means that any day now the History Library ninja hit squad will arrive on my doorstep to reclaim 'A History of Lycanthropy' and 'The Art of the Byzantine Empire'. I'm beginning to feel deeply guilty about those books. They are now two weeks overdue, and I just seem to have no ability to return the bloody things.
On the other hand, despite my staying in London today and trying to load![[profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
pierot on to a plague cart regularly (he really is ill - shivers and some muscle convulsions, not to mention horrible icky stomach pains) I have had a fairly productive day. I now know much more about eytmology, I understand the significance of goats in Celtic mythology, and I understand why 'welsh' actually means 'slave' if you go back to the original meaning.
It's good to know such things.
I'm also having an internal argument with myself on social policy. This happens sometimes. I saw this article, originally in The Sun and then elsewhere and it's been bothering me, mostly because it has left me less able to scorn the Vile Littlejohn than I would like. He wrote a standard vile column talking about these three teenage mothers, who are living on benefits with their mum, after having gotten pregnant at 16, 14 and 12 respectively. He ranted about bringing back the workhouse etc, and of course he is fairly grotty, yet...
( A Sally argument with herself on teenage pregnancy, in which she expresses some dangerously right wing views )
And finally...fromsoullessflyer( a meme of relaxation... )
