But first....

Thanks to @FW_Medieval for tipping me off to the VIKING LONG SHIP DOCKING ON LONG ISLAND TODAY. drakenhh.com/greenport I’m probably gonna live tweet this like the nerd I am

Cute, Name of the Rose, real cute. (I’m teaching this movie in my Medieval Religion, Medicine, and Magic class next week)

I just did a last minute swap to the reading for my Medieval Religion, Medicine, and Magic course. I decided to put in some blog posts by doctoral students in various stages of research, to show students how ideas are born, grow, & get refined. Excited to see how it goes!

Wowowow I just discovered that Starship Titanic is on Steam. A lot of high school feels about that game. I played this for a bit this morning before getting down to my research tasks for the day, and it's very much a weird flashback to a very particular part of my life in high school. Douglas Adams sure did like to start adventures by destroying the protagonist's house, didn't he?

While reading aloud from a history textbook in 5th grade, I accidentally said "Fart Duquesne" instead of "Fort Duquesne." Twice. When the teacher pointed it out to me I ran screaming to the bathroom in embarrassment

Coda: this nearly literally happened again in grad school, I will never forget my my advisor’s face the first time I pronounced eminent historian Walter Goffart’s name out loud in discussion

I've watched a lot of Hannibal while working over the past two days, and I'm really curious about how one starts a career in the High Aesthetic Murder division of the FBI A double major in art history and forensic anthropology is my guess.

Taking the LIRR home after a shitty day. While driving to therapy I hit a bed frame that must have fallen off someone’s roof and blew two tires. Then my battery died when I left the hazards on too long. No therapy for Jenn today (when I really could have used it too, lolsob), but I have to say that seeing the RVC cathedral on my train ride home makes it a little better (small medievalist thread coming)

My sister sent a Fathers Day present to our Dad wrapped in “peak-late-80s-dad” wrapping paper (this is our dad, to be clear)

Same, Robin The coffee pot is Robin’s best friend

Hoooooooly crap guys. My sister is an art teacher in FLA, and she found this AMAZING document in her supply closet BOTHERED AGAINST DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
