Man, I’m pretty nerdy. I just spent a bunch of money at Amazon on books concerning French morphology and French language history. I even got one on argot to further my research, which, I believe, will probably go into the spring since I think I missed some deadlines or something along the way. Not that that really bothers me since I’m going to be in the Haute a while anyway. It’ll just be easier to spend part of Winter Break working on it rather than pulling my hair out this semester to try and get it done while teaching two classes, subbing for another and working full-time especially since registration for spring classes starts next month. Yup, I’m looking forward to having more time to work on it because I want to avoid sustained infections and diseases like that lung infection I got last year from being overworked. I’ll e-mail my committee about it tomorrow if I have the time. I already talked to Tony about the mess yesterday for about a half an hour before he went off on an hour-long tirade about chemistry concerning sucralose and olean. I told him he should have been talking to my brother Tommy–he’s the chemistry expert. Kid outta be a chemist, in my opinion. Or maybe a chemical engineer. I could see Tommy doing that.

At any rate, I’ve lost my train of thought. Oh yeah, morphology books. So I ordered a few of these not for the thesis per se, but more to have and read at some future date when I’ve got the time so I can enrich my understanding of the history of the French language and its structure. Pretty nerdy, ain’t it? Even nerdier is that I’m pretty excited about the reverse dictionary of Old French. How lame is that? Yup, I’m a dork. Not that you all (the four or five of you who come here) don’t already know that. I mean, I have an entire page devoted to tea on my site, after all. Yup, lame and nerdy. Boring and weird. So many fitting epithets. Um, yeah, I need to go type more upstairs on the thesis. I just wanted to get those books ordered (done through the big sis’ link to Amazon, I might add) so I’d stop obsessing over the idea of trying to find them later. See ya!
