hmpf | Academic gratification:

So, I'd been reading this book on Stonehenge and there were a few things I just didn't get. Being intellectually insecure I figured I must be too stupid or something. So I go to my prof today and ask him about it (I have to write about this, so I better understand it!) And guess what he says? "You're right. That doesn't make any sense. It's a load of... nonsense." (I think he was about to use another word but caught himself just in time *g*)

So, now I feel less stupid. *g*

Fannish gratification:

I won two ebay auctions for more "Finder" stuff today. Together with the amazon.co.uk marketplace transaction I did last week that means I now (hopefully) own three of the five trade paperbacks. I only hope they arrive here and all...

I was quoting Spinal Tap lyrics above, but that be cool (arrrr! Pirate Druids, ARRRRR!). If you've not seen the movie This is Spinal Tap, well... you must.

That being said, I've been to England twice and still haven't visited Stone'enge, much to my friend's horror. She'd make it illegal not to visit Stone'enge, if she could. I didn't go because of sheer laziness. If memory serves it was an 1 1/2 - 2 hour trip by train from London, and apparently there isn't much else to see there. So it'd be 1 1/2 hours down, see the ruins, 1 1/2 hours back.

Of course any southern UK-ers are welcome to jump in and rend me to pieces for my ignorance about the area.
