I haven't been keeping up with my blog recently. This is mainly due to my increasingly large workload. At the moment I am working on a rough draft of chapter 1 of my thesis, two entries for the Brill Encyclopedia of Medieval Pilgrimage, and revising the three conference papers I presented last year in preparation for publication. I also still owe a book review to the International Medieval Bulletin.
On top of that, it appears that Kat and I might have to start looking for a new place to live in, as we have just been informed that our landlord intends to sell the house where we currently reside. I don't want to look for a new place. I like where we live and I don't want to have to move again.
Despite all this I have agreed to be interviewed on camera for a project by some broadcast journalism students. They're doing something on paganism, and I agreed to talk about the history of paganism. We'll be filming at Kirkstall Abbey. Hopefully we'll be done in time for me to attend the IMS lecture this evening at 5:30pm, Sea-faring Saints and Land-lubber Painters. After the lecture, the Medieval Film Society is screening Erik the Viking. There's been a lot of other things going on, some good some bad. I'll only mention the good. I have applied for a summer course in Budapest on Late Antiquity. I haven't learned whether or not I've been accepted, but I think I've got a good shot at it. Also, Kat and I went to Birmingham yesterday to meet up with an old friend from New Orleans, who is in the country with her boyfriend. We had a good visit with them at the Birmingham Museum & Art Gallery, which has one of the largest collections of pre-Raphaelite drawings in the world. I'll make another post and include pictures in the near future. I must go and eat lunch now.
