I am an equal opportunity offender: give me an opportunity and I'll offend everyone, equally: http://www.bibliobuffet.com/bookish-dreaming/1432-middle-aged-festivities-010211

I have run out of things I have to read for this chapter. No more books. No more articles. This means I have no choice. I have to sort my notes. I also have to write up the chapter. Words!!! Not tonight, though. Tonight is about taking hefty piles of notes and sorting them and working out how they fit together. An intellectual jigsaw.

You know what this means? In three days time the flat surfaces in this room will be visible again. What a terrible thought.
