Storms, storms, storms. We are finally paying the price for such wonderfully warm weather. Fortunately, monsoon rain is exactly what I need as I crank out my dissertation.

Happy Monday! Continuing on yesterday's J.K. Rowling theme, here's a quote to get you going for the week. Enjoy!
Well, what a day it has been. I am now officially minus one tooth and in the throes of post-tooth removal pain. Fortunately, I can at least enjoy the amazing half-chipmunk look that I am currently sporting.

Hello lovelies! I hope that you all had a wonderful weekend. I've been sadly trading in fiction for textbooks and literary excursions for self-imposed study isolation - but, never fear, you do not get rid of me that easily. Ordinary service will continue (relatively) uninterrupted. As such, here is another Monday Musing for your enjoyment, brought … Continue reading Monday Musing: 13/05/13
Happy Monday everyone! I hope those of you in the UK are enjoying your extra day off and taking particular advantage of the spectacular weather. If not, grab a blanket and a book, and head outside.
