the Dalaverse

So I'm writing my Seminar paper on the British Navy, specifically during the Tudor period. Before I start poking my nose into the monstrous system that is the Bodleian (our little Feneley Library has exactly nothing), you guys have any book suggestions? I think I'll ask over at kiss_me_hardy too, and in a few minutes I'll be off to the public library to see what they've got. If I don't have to spend the next two weeks shut up in the Lower Cam, it would be sweet.

The Mardi Gras party was good fun. We drank and made masks and played Twister -- I did not actually play, but offered commentary. And then I was stupid and went out to the Turf with St. Mary's People, and it only made me sad, and I should've just stayed in the JCR. But anyway, I watched a little "Firefly" after I came back, tried to go to bed with vicious hiccups, and had to go upstairs to get Annie to scare them out of me. So far today I've introduced Liz to the Big Damn Show and grumbled my way through chicken curry at St. Peter's. I plan to be more productive for the afternoon. I have cards to mail to both grandmothers, and I have to see about housing for next year, and I ought to start my ATJ reading...and somewhere in there I'll take a nap.
