i think i might - or will - have to get von to teach me the art of getting money out of large institutions. i'm thinking of spending some the summer reading manuscripts in england - if i can find someone to teach me, of course - and if i can get my life in order to get the administrative matters in order so that i can get access to the collection either as a summer student or a visitor - although i haven't the faintest how these things are arranged and am too lazy to find out right now.

currently a little silly about manuscripts.

also i want to learn to make ink from oak galls!
