* Hayden-Harnett Hottie's Hangout! *

Marie de France is an enigma and died so young and was so brilliant.
I'm not writing about her...I'm reading Chevrefeuille with my class. We do a few pieces from the roman courtois canon.

I do, however, have two theses under my belt...one for graduate work in English at Rutgers (Dialects and Dialectics in Lady Chatterley's Lover) and one for grad work at at CUNY Queens in French where I was privileged to study under Paul Lonigan (L’interpretation d’une vie à trois niveaux : Les œuvres Napoléoniens de Stendhal.). The NYU connection is undergraduate.

I'd love to go back to school one more time and do some research in linguistics...language acquisition fascinates me, but that will have to wait another few years.

What aspect of her are you doing your thesis on? She's a bit of an enigma, right? And I assume you're writing it in French? I'm gearing up to edit an anthology next year; it's been sooooo long since I did any
scholarly work (outside the occasional book review and prepping for classes) but I'm really excited! I miss that deep, deep immersion in a topic. With my teaching schedule, it's only every other year or so that they throw me an upper division lit class (usually I do the upper division creative writing classes).

I think I'm getting dumber every week!
I just don't retain information like I used to.

Cho - that's called mommy brain.

 

[chodessa]

Oh, see?? I was too dumb to remember that! :lolots:

As my brain shrinks, my ass seems to grow. What's that called??

 

[jennirane]

Hawt!!

 

[chodessa]

 

[jennirane]

You tee them up so well!

 

[chodessa]

I'm your wingwoman for life!

 

[jennirane]

:lolots: Now WHY did that make me think of that lonely pleated Miu Miu sitting on that table, all abandoned by its too-cool-for-school owner?!

Wheee... thanks, chez.

Hey Sacc
It's available at both the NYU bookstore (Broadway) and at Shakepeare & Co. in Brooklyn.
They both have websites, and I think that you can order online. (Use the search function).

Gee MT, I hope you're OK.

Whatever it's called - I have it too.

Just checked; DH does have the Bruno Schultz...
Sacc, you might also look at Anne Carson's NOX and Cole Swensen/Thomas Nozkowski's Flare... I love both of the poets... Flare is a bit more art-book, although the Nox is an interesting piece (one long sheet, folded, in a box).

http://www.amazon.com/Flare-Thomas-...1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1291496927&sr=1-1-spell

ETA: Uber-frustration... this is the other book I wanted to get for DH. It's a "folio" edition of the Pale Fire poem, as if it was actually published... but Amazon's OOS!! And S&Co don't have it, nor Border's or B&N. Weird.

Cuz you're HAWT!!

 

[mishka]

LOL you guys!

MT - I am SO sorry about you and your car! THat sucks! I hope you are ok, that sounds like a nasty wreck.

During the sale I bought my Mommy and myself each a Butter Welles hobotote. I also got a snake celina and a poppy vesuvius cuff. I totally fell off the wagon, but I had Houpons, so I only spent about $80 total. I bought the Houpons So long ago they just don't matter I guess.

Chlöe and I are still at my family's visiting. We've been here since Thanksgiving day, and are here until Wednesday. It's been nice and relaxing, I think I'm going to make a habit of these long trips. My parents want to move to the Villages in Florida next year and so I want to live it up in their lake house with them as much as I can until they move.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!
