to do list

[bedlamsbard]

Goals for the weekend:

School
Study for Age of Reformation midterm - skim chapters I have read, read the readings I haven't, make sure I know the five Ws for all the terms.
Study for Etruscans & Early Rome midterm - mostly looking back over the material and making sure I can identify all the slides.
Finish Latin homework, make sure the past couple chapters are written up in my notes
Do some more honors thesis reading -- start in on Pugh or Wilson-Okamura.
Read The Holy Greyhound. (He's a dog. He's a saint. The Vatican's confusion cannot be textually rendered.)

Not school
Work on sock
Finish rereading The Silver Pigs -- (done, I only had about forty pages left.)
Return to Lucrezia Borgia
Finish February fic -- so far I am unleashing my angst about meter on poor Rilian, but on the bright side I have figured out how to get myself excited about Elizabethan and Jacobean England. Make it Caspianic (Caspianan?) Narnia!
Bake cookies -- I have nothing sweet in my apartment. This must be remedied.
Get down to Borders. (Yes, my local Borders is closing, which sucks. It only opened two years ago!) -- (Borders is closed for the weekend because it's on the parade route. I found this out after I walked down (three miles) and got there twenty minutes after it closed.)
Send thank you and get well cards to Japanese grandparents

I am unleashing my angst about meter on poor Rilian

Is this a new story you're writing, or a continuation from the glimpse of your Rilian we had from the Narnia Fic Exchange? I'm kind of curious about what life was like (for the Narnians or King Rilian) as he instituted the Ban that's mentioned in Dust.

Hope you get some good deal at Borders. There are 3 closing in my area, but 2 others will remain open. I'd go to the sale but there's nothing I actually want at the moment!

It's a continuation of the NFE Rilian -- it's set about a month later, the funeral's happened, Caspian is in a horrible mood, Rilian is haunted by schoolwork, and a playwright who used to write masques for the Queen is trying to make Rilian his new patron. And Rilian's still running around after mysterious women in the forest.

The one back home -- "home" as in, "that city forty miles away" -- is staying open, but the one in New Orleans and the one in Metairie are both closing. I am so sad, because I really like the walk it takes to get to the NO one -- forty-five minutes, three miles each way, a nice walk. There are a couple of good indie bookstores in walking distance, but that was just a really great walk. Plus, you know, bookstore.

Much love for the term "Caspianic." :)

Well, what else am I supposed to call it? *grins*

(Golden Age Narnia: good old fashioned monarchy. Post-Telmarine Narnia: Tudor and Stuart England! Dust-era narnia: a hotbed of republican dissent simmering under the iron rule of a brutal foreign tyrant.)
