[le-malaise-du-moment]

7.7.2020 // evening

I sent my chapter (what of it I had) to my advisor on June 30 -- he sent it back to me today. I was not prepared for the turnaround to be that quick.

He seems to be pulling me in a more theoretical direction -- encouraging me to take that jump. It would be a dream, but it's also terrifying.

I'm still processing what this might look like and what the possibilities and implications are. We shall see how this changes the scope of the dissertation, and how brave I'm willing to be.

updated, based on @pomrania‘s feedback :P  But yeah - it’s still rubbish!

I’m rummaging around in archives for photographs of radio use which - while mainly boring - sometimes produces gems like this.

Just three gal pals listening to some tunes.

I don't know if it's because I decided to stay home today, if it's the extra vitamin D supplements I took to make up for my deficit, if it's the impending spring, or a combination of all three, but I had a great morning. After waking, I did a yoga practice, taking some some extra time on the mat to stretch out muscles and areas that needed a little extra love. I then had a glass of kefir with honey, made coffee, and put on a few MuchelleB videos while I sat with my planner. When I was ready, I showered and got ready for the day, and now I'm sitting down for a more proper breakfast.

Next, I'll launch into the fellowship application I was working on last night, and that's due Sunday. I really need this kind of funding -- and then outside funding after that, just to keep myself paying bills while I finish.

I had a phone meeting with my advisor yesterday, and I think it was the best meeting we've ever had. That, coupled with that fresh-from-a-conference feeling, is making me so excited to continue working.

Current academic and creative projects include:

My third (of four) dissertation chapter. This one focuses on Tracy Deonn's Legendborn series and the meaningful ways in which Bree, Nick, and Sel subvert and extend Arthurian traditions.

An essay for a special edition of an academic journal on witchcraft on contemporary media, where I will speak about Star Wars's Nightsisters of Dathomir as Arthurian enchantresses (focusing particularly on Morgan Elsbeth, extending work on my second dissertation chapter, Asajj Ventress, Merrin, and a light touch on the coven on Brendok).

Fingers crossed my chapter proposal on toxic masculinity in David Lowery's Green Knight is accepted then it's a fast turnaround to finish that.

Proposing a joint workshop with a colleague for DeagonCon this year (there is an academic conference within the con I've spoken at twice now) about marginalia and imagery in medieval lit. It would have a bookmark to make and take with you after our workshop.

Journaling a run through a new two person TTRPG I backed on Kickstarter called Glatisant, where you play as a Knight Errant and Questing Beast. I think I'll be using it in my classroom in the spring as a journaling exercise so I want to play with it a lot.

I used to knock stuff like this out with a speed that felt unreal, now I struggle to put an hour or two in a day. Part of that is just working at the post grad level, part is that, as my dad helpfully pointed out, I'm older than I was before, and also the past five years have put me through a ringer..

No specific reason for this post besides getting it out of my head. If anyone wants to chat about any of these areas of interest I'm always happy for that, too!

You can't spell patriotism without riot.

This isn't a political or philosophical take. I just learned how to spell patriotism today.

Defended my dissertation proposal earlier today. I have some conceptual work to clean up, and the research designs and stimulus materials need some reworking (as always), but overall it went well. Officially moving on to starting the dissertation research.
