I spoke to my mum on the phone yesterday about where I should live next year and ended up with a rage headache and also chose East Oxford out of spite (except not really - it is a lovely college annex, and I do love the neighbourhood) and also had the worst essay due for today, and didn't sleep at all last night, gave up trying at about 3 AM, was at the library at 5.30 AM and basically hated life until I finished my essay and watched the new episode of Skins (o Season 6, why???). It's been a tough weekend.
On the bright side: my college will be flying the rainbow flag at the boat race this Saturday for LGBT History Month, I discussed poetry with a friend, there are no more two tute weeks for the next two weeks, tutorials with ♥Liz Fisher♥ always buoy me up no matter how difficult I find the reading, and I have Edward Said's Orientalism out of the library and also my copy of Dionne Brand's Thirsty arrived in the mail today. AND, when this afternoon is over I will have 100 times more clean clothes than I currently have. PARTY HARD!!!
Also, reviewing this book means I get to dwell on H.L.A Hart and his intellectual achievements and ambivalent sexuality and inferiority complex and complicated sense of ethnic identity and amazing wife and liberal humanism and Oxford in the 50s/60s, all over again:
A Life of H.L.A. Hart: The Nightmare and the Noble Dream, by Nicola Lacey.
( Biography of the 20th century's most influential legal philosopher. Stunning, stunning, stunning. Shoddily written review, too much effusion, etc. )
