Awww. Sorry for interrupting. Say something like boys are dogs, and off I go.I had a professor once. She was nuts about Virginia Woolf. All conversation led to Virginia Woolf. I think Woolf is a fine writer, and wouldn't have minded a real Woolf scholar; however, I suspect My (female) professor of a secret plot to clone VW with the express purpose of marrying her. If she could find her car keys.
One of Woolf's novels were among the
seven to read for seminar. Students had great fun inserting "Virginia Woolf" into Any reference and watch her run it to ground. I was so p*ssed about wasting my time in this class, I alternated between disgusted and amused.I decided to read one novel the entire seminar. Woolf's. I didn't care for the others, but more than anything, I had a Very bad attitude toward, again, the waste of time. I wrote all my papers on Woolf's novel. Now that did mean I read and reread it many times. But all I'd have to say is you know, I was thinking some more about Woolf, and she'd warm right up, yet look kinda' glassy.
Me and gender. Unless I mean sex. I'm not sure.
What were you going to say? You could start something perfectly fresh. Like if you went out last night.
I have to see if my smartphone will download podcasts. I hope.
