Collateral damage

I'm slowly unpacking. Very little is damaged, but I have lost some of my favourite CDs - several Nick Drake and all but one of my Damon and Naomi albums, which is very strange. If you don't know them, they make a darker version of dreampop. They used to be in Galaxie 500: the other bloke, Dean Wareham, founded Luna subsequently. Highly recommended for the wee hours. Gotta love bands with songs like 'The New Historicism', which is funny because I'm currently reading that movement's founding text, Greenblatt's Learning to Curse.

It's been a long, weird trip…

I'm now exhausted - written several lectures (another one to write tonight), attended a stressful departmental meeting, gone to some introductory lectures and went for a swim. For a peaceful moment, I have to retreat to the loo - currently with Stephen Greenblatt's Learning to Curse, which I really should have read years ago.

I also got my Shazam t-shirt, in honour of the mighty Spaced.
