• 21:30 Almost time to break out Charles Williams' "All Hallows Eve" again! #
• 21:31 @ParrotKnight I haven't seen that, shockingly. I really ought to try to get to Doc Soc (though I get a free formal hall on Thursdays, ...) #
• 22:24 I dislike telling people I care about things they don't want to hear, but sometimes it has to be doneto avoid ending up in a false postiion #
• 22:25 Though I have a suspicion they may find it less of a shock than I think.... #
• 22:28 Also, next door is playing bizarrely loud piano music again. #
• 22:52 And I don't think the Death-Eaters in Oxford fic works, but I don't know how to fix it :( #
• 00:25 Actually, wouldn't it be great if Philip Glennister played the Doctor? #
• 10:55 And suddenly the MCR is full of philosopher rowers from other colleges.... describing it as 'classy'. Of course! #
• 11:15 Now one philosopher is talking about 'Ze purity of ze intellectual argument', and arguing engaging with the history of thought. Berk. #
• 11:37 "It's not just about drinking, I'm looking forward to making some civil libertarian arguments, too..." #
• 11:38 And now they've moved on to the Rothenburg cannibal... "The worst of it is, I wouldn't want to put that in my mouth." #
• 17:31 @GMWWemyss I've never had quince jelly with pheasant, but it sounds promising. The chestnuts are certainly good in combination. #
• 17:32 Note to self: do not attempt to explain the Facebook group 'every time you say mass without a maniple, God kills a kitten' to supervisor. #
• 18:11 Blimey, gel is harder to use than you'd think. Regret laughing at teenage boys! #

I don't know what possessed me. Well, actually, I do, it was champagne on an empty stomach, followed by two Gs&T, and it was at least partly her fault for reminiscing about the incident at a previous viva where the external, asking about a fourteenth century text about how Christ suffered more pain on the cross for every sin we commit here and now, got a bit fixated on the bit about noctural emmissions. "You're saying that everytime you have a wet dream, Jesus..."

:"Er - I'm not. The text is.....

At least the kitten-killing thing is obviously a joke (I also then had to explain to various people what a maniple is, which didn't help, although maniples are really very pointless anyway, and I don't actually know any priest who wears one).

I must admit that I had to google 'maniple' at first, although it seems to be more common in Catholicism than in the Anglican High Church. However, since it's mainly used for the Tridentine Mass and I have never been to one of those, I think that this is excuse enough.

Clearly, I should have considered a theology degree. I seem to have missed out on so much in my EngLit programme.
