Long I know. Pun-tastic I know. But I always like to amuse myself in titles. I may drop the last "Belgian Colonialism" thing and just stick it in my thesis. Oh don't worry, I won't actually do it. It's too cheezy, even for me. I'm not sure if it entirely makes sense in the title. Basically I'm not entirely excited to write this paper. I'm concerned I'll end up repeating myself a lot, but I want to write about irony considering this is a class on British Modernism. Hmm.
Not the most exciting post, but my life has been a bit dull lately. I've been sick and there's not much to do when one is sick in Oxford. Ho hum.
The parentals came up Friday night for the hockey game against Northern Michigan. My dad had never been to a hockey game so he was excited. It was a lot of fun. We laughed a lot at the student section. The cheers are hopelessly (how should I put this?) white. Of course, I know full well if I were in the student section I would participate in nearly all of those ridiculous cheers because it's fun. A sort of positive mob-mentality I suppose. All except that horribly racist Indian cheer "paying homage" to the old Redskins mascot. I can't stand that one.
Oh! And I saw the move "She's Just Not That Into You" with my friend Sarah on Sunday. Yes, I tend to fall victim to an indulgent chick-flick now and then. Don't make fun. You know you love them too. And I loved this movie. It was really entertaining and gave me those warm fuzzy feelings that makes chick-flicks so awesome.
I hope all of your lives are far more exciting abroad! I'm currently getting all of my crap together for this summer. The paperwork/loan crap is really obnoxious, but at least I'll be in London in just a few months!
1) In response to your comment on my blog, port cities are just weird. I'm a little nervous to go to Liverpool actually.
ReplyDelete2) I really liked "He's Just Not Into You." I actually borrowed the book from someone right after seeing that movie, and I am convinced that I have wasted years of my life pining for people who were...well, just not that into me.
Okay. I LOVE that title for your paper. Maybe that's saying something about the kinds of things I love (a.k.a. Puns). If nothing else, take pride in the fact that I absolutely love it...it pretty much made my morning when I read it. ;)
ReplyDeleteMiss you!!!
