(no subject)

One of these days I should actually get around to going to the Wednesday seminar series if only to see the cakes, because my department does themed cakes based on whatever that week's lecture subject is. I've seen pictures of some online and occasionally they're quite good. (I'd post a link, but I can't remember where I saw it.) Unfortunately I always forget to go to the seminar series because it happens to take place exactly at the time I usually make dinner. Awkward. Annoying. Maybe I will make it this Wednesday, since it's on technologies of the gibbet and sadly I got more excited when I saw that than I did about the hill fort massacre last week (which I did not attend). Apparently there's also going to be champagne, for Richard III reasons. Though I don't drink champagne, so there's that.

Perks of being in the School of Archaeology and Ancient History at the University of Leicester: you get all the freaking Richard III jokes in your e-mail inbox. ALL OF THEM. Wait, did I say "perks"? (Sometimes we also get 50 Shades of Grey jokes, too. *eyeroll* Though aside from job notifications for stuff I'm not remotely qualified, mostly the listserv tends to be various problems with the restrooms in the SAAH. Mostly the ladies, but there have been one or two e-mails about the men's, too.) Aww yeah, graduate school.
