So I'm back from my semester off...of blogging. Don't worry, I was plenty busy reading about epistemology and trying to learn how to say "where are all your documents about slaves?" in Portuguese. In addition, I wanted application season to be well underway before returning to my post. So next semester you can expect a lot more chicken soup, and I'm hoping you all still have souls at the end of this semester.
A few things to look forward to. I will be live-blogging from the AHA (that would be, the American Historical Association) grand-high annual meeting, held this year in the balmy San Diego. This should be fun for everyone. Especially if the side-trip to Tijuana goes according to plan.
Also, stay tuned for my reviews of several films about college life in a hysterical countdown of stereotypes. Should we all be very, very afraid of our professional futures? I'll let you know.
But I'll leave you with these amusing tidbits. TIME went majorly nuts with Top Ten lists for 2009, covering everything from Top Wizards to Top Things You Didn't Know about Hanukkah. Here are a couple of my favorites.
Top Ten Ye Olde British Criminal Trials
Right up my alley!
Top Ten Toy Crazes
I remember all of these except the ones from the 80's, which I've repressed.
Top Ten Disney Controversies
Finally, "Song of the South" is going to be dealt with.
And for those who enjoy dumb people getting busted, this one's for you.
Pure awesomeness.
Enjoy these time-sucking top ten lists, and have a great holiday season!
Yay! You're back! ~L
