Sustained Criticism

Hi, LJ. Remember me? The discontent Norwegian undergrad. Still malcontent, still so pale I reflect flash (and try very hard to stay out of pictures at parties), still drinking too much, reading too little and doing far too little work – not proper work, thank god, university work. I think better on paper, and I need to think. Medicine or law? (Kristine, don't worry, I'm leaning towards law.)

So, I think, and write sketches by hand, read fashion blogs, drink coffee with friends and tag along to friends' coffe dates with friends. All the while trying to figure out what to write my bachelor's thesis on. Oscar Wilde is currently in the lead, ahead of Joyce and Woolf. But Woolf or Joyce entail dealings with the Basket Witch: she's 4'9, has badly bleached hair in a short bob, stares at us encouragingly from under her fringe, showed up in something suspiciously like reworked curtains today, and thinks 'What did you think about 'The Tell-Tale Heart?' constitutes teaching at university level.
