Meme and grad school woo

icepixieLong but productive day today. I met with the managing editor of the journal I'll be working for next year, and in addition to more prosaic things, like the job duties, I found out that they always try to let the editorial assistant publish a book review in their last issue, so I'll get a publication credit out of this gig in addition to the class release in the spring. Woot!
My thesis director also invited me and a doctoral student working on Irish poetry to have lunch with today's speaker, David Caplan, who was both informative and full of entertaining stories. We both came away with some more names and titles to add to our lists of sources for our respective thesis and dissertation. His lecture was cool too; it was on Anthony Hecht, a Kenyon grad of the '40s. Caplan teaches at Ohio Wesleyan, so we got to chat about Kenyon for a while too.
And now I am reading articles on The Odd Women, because soon I will be writing a paper on it. Everything will be ooooooover on April 29th. Hurray.

Date: 2009-04-01 12:44 am (UTC)I can't believe it either!
B5:
One True Pairing Ship: Can I have two OTPs that involve the same character? Because I can't decide between Ivanova/Garibaldi and Ivanova/Marcus. (...Threesome?)
Canon Ship: Ivanova/Marcus
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" ship: Hmmm...I had to think long and hard to find one that I would truly not like to see, and I think Londo/Garibaldi is it.
"You are one sick bastard" ship: Delenn/Lennier (and JMS is exactly the kind of sick bastard I am, yay!)
"I dabble a little" ship: Susan/Talia
"It's like a car crash" ship: Londo/G'Kar
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" ship: Sheridan/Delenn
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" ship: Ivanova/Na'Toth. Or maybe Vir/Lennier, although I get the feeling one might be able to make a case for it at some point.
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" ship: I know I used it above, but Sheridan/Delenn is the textbook example of this for me. I want to like it! I do! But I just can't quite manage to buy it on his end...
BSG:
One True Pairing Ship: Roslin/Adama. Amen.
Canon Ship: See above.
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" ship: The idea of Roslin/Lee always kind of creeped me out.
"You are one sick bastard" ship: Head!Six/Head!Baltar
"I dabble a little" ship: Billy/Dee
"It's like a car crash" ship: Helo/Kara (also, in a way, Lee/Kara)
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" ship: Caprica Six/Baltar
"Makes no canon sense but why the hell not" ship: Dee/Gaeta
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" ship: Lee/Kara, I guess.
