Stuff and more stuff

I am so writing my first essay on comparing the presentation of mediaeval religious life in The Name of the Rose and Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Oh yes.

I was just going to straight-up write on The Name of the Rose and its relationship to historical and literary sources, but I want to save that topic for Becket, assuming I can contrive to watch it again. Alas, for the DVD will not be released until 31 December, although much rejoicing that it is finally being released at all. With commentary by Peter O'Toole, and much restored, I might add. *drools*

Sadly, my Vikings essay is due sooner, i.e., Friday. Curses. I'll probably take one of the topics that's related to our groupwork for the week to consolidate my research efforts.
