also, happy Mardi Gras!
Mar. 8th, 2011 10:13 pmQuestion: if I am e-mailing an application (to this program, specifically) as an attachment, what do I put in the body of the e-mail? Would it just be "Dear ACE Foundation, Attached is my application for admission into the British Archaeology Summer School. Thank you for your consideration, [Bedlam]"?
The "How to Apply" bit on the webpage just says, "Please click the following document: [link] and mail it to [e-mail address," and I'm a little anxious that there's some e-mail application etiquette I'm not aware of.

In other news, I am still on spring break and I did not go to the parades today, but I finally got into the Tudors, although at this point (about five eps in) I have very little emotional attachment to any of the characters involved. They are not dramatic enough for me! There is no great doom or dirty politics! Also I already know how it ends. I did like Princess Margaret, who is an amalgam of the real Henry VIII's two sisters. I expect doom and gloom from the show, although I see that the real Princess Mary had a happy ending. GOOD I SAY. Also I am watching S1 of The Sopranos, although sadly the library only has S1 and I'll have to stop then. Alas.
Still reading about the Borgias, although at this point I have determined that all the secondary sources are biased and/or disagree with each other and now I really want to go to the primary sources, which hopefully my uni library shall have in translation. This is a good sign, as the Borgias are my honors thesis mark two idea. (Also, Strathern, in The Artist, the Philosopher, and the Warrior, is really obsessed with talking about how Cesare Borgia had syphilis; I haven't reached the chapter on Borgia yet (the first two are about Leondardo da Vinci, the artist of the title, and Niccolo Machiavelli, the philosopher of the same), but every time I flip through it's, "LOOK AT THE OOZING PUSTULES ON HIS ONCE BEAUTIFUL FACE." Although perhaps it's just those few pages. He also has to keep reminding us that Cesare Borgia is the Pope's son, and, like, I THINK WE FIGURED THAT OUT FIFTY PAGES AGO THE FIRST TIME YOU TOLD US, DUDE. ALSO THE OTHER FIVE TIMES. Am going to the library tomorrow to get more books, because it won't hurt.)
In conclusion, have a pretty, pretty wallpaper from Showtime (link goes to Showtime site), which I am strangely fond of. (Cair Paravel's still the background on my computer, though.) Also, links to more videos on that same page! One of my favorite bits is where the actor who plays Michelotto, one of Cesare's assassins, gets really intense and goes, "You're working for the Pope...which is like working for God...so it's like you're God's assassin. On Earth."
