We take a break from the assignment slog for Friday evening
I have been granted the incomparable boon of a deadline extension for not one, but two assignments. Pardon me while I breathe again.
*breathes*
Right, now. Only 1500 words of assignment required this weekend. I need good sources on the Mycenaean period so-called 'Mask of Agamemnon,' excavated by Heinrich Schliemann at Mycenae. Fortunately, there appear to be several reputable articles online. I thank various minor deities for the existence of Google, daily.

There are some downsides to feeding my music habit with Pandora. The major upside is I don't have to listen to crap (unless I run mad and actually start wanting to listen to Westlife, in which case I hope somebody euthanises me quickly). The downside is, of course, that I can't listen to any track on demand: I have to wait until the algorithm throws it up again.
This is an improvement over terrestrial radio. But I have a desire to listen to Loreena McKennitt right now, and this time it seems I can't game the program to give me more, now.
You win some, you lose some.

Criminal Minds is teaching me more about layered narratives than I ever thought possible to learn. They do it every week, and they do it well: it is immensely freaking brilliantly wonderful. (And no, I'm not answering questions as to how come I can watch it when it doesn't show on Irish TV. That's a secret)
When the DVDs come out for Region 2, I'm there, stat.
