Not much to report, save that I survived my Rome midterm (I would even go as far as to say that it went well) and that tonight I am having Real!Food with Friend-of-Parents, in town for something or other.
I also may or may not be coming down with what SoccerRoommate may or may not have had. Possibly the flu. Or something else. We thrive on ambiguity here.
And people still like my stories in Creative Writing! Whopee!

P.S. Check out my new "Helpful Quotes" sidebar.

Helpful Quotes

I may have acted like a soft dolt, the very archetype of a flabby Western liberal but I'd rather be my kind of fool than his. --George Smiley
Hector: The best moments in writing are when you come across something—a thought, a feeling, a way of looking at things—which you had thought special and particular to you. Now here it is, set down by someone else, a person you have never met, someone even who is long dead. And it is as if a hand has come out and taken yours. --Alan Bennett, "The History Boys"
There are fickle inexplicable changes which occur in us: for example I first of all found that radishes agreed with me; then they did not; now they do again. --Montaigne, "On Experience"
The only obligation which I have the right to assume, is to do at any time what I think right. --Henry David Thoreau
Angel: [The Virgin Mary] never got over not having grandchildren. I say to her, well, look on the bright side. What about Gothic architecture? With two thousand years of Christianity to your credit what are grandchildren? But, as she said to me in a moment of confidence, "You can't knit booties for the Nicene Creed." --Alan Bennett
