beyond the wide world's end

This is what my desk looks like right now:

( cut for images )

That's The Faerie Queene, The Spenser Encyclopedia, and the Fitzgerald Aeneid -- if I'd thought about it I would have pulled out my copy of the Metamorphoses, too. That's the Wikipedia entry for The Faerie Queene on my computer.

As you can see I have finished my Winnow socks and have moved on to a pair of Jaywalkers in Opal Handgefarbt (colorway: "Balsam fur die Seele"). Unfortunately I still have no idea what I want to write about for my thesis aside from "Ovidian and Vergilian references and structure in The Faerie Queene, specifically concentrating on Britomart," which is a little like saying, "Hey, I'd like to talk about images of the Virgin in late medieval and Renaissance Italy," or, "Hey, I'd like to talk about genderfuck AUs in SGA fanfic," to go for something that happened after the year 1700. Erk.

Picspam of stuffed animals! Because I finally found my camera cord.

( they only look cute and cuddly )

Stuffed animals, man...you never know what they're going to get up to when your back is turned.

No stuffed animals were harmed in the making of this picspam, though Pierre the Mardi Gras Rabbit has declared he feels left out of the fun.

ETA: And Gatorade the Polar Bear has decided to go on strike because I forgot to mention him. Oh, Gatorade, I'm sorry! *glomps him* (Does fandom still use "glomp" as a verb, or have we moved past that?)
