Going to watch the Kingston Pride Parade this afternoon!  I've never been to Pride before. so I'm really excited!  Have So Many Edits to do still, so maybe I'll bring by laptop downtown with me and find a coffee shop after.  Ooo, maybe I can find one along Princess and find a seat to watch from.  Hmm.

Do-Dads

As a huge Jane Austen fan and as someone who appreciates old books, this makes my heart just a flutter. The British Library has a digital copy on their website of The History of England, as written by Jane Austen when she was 15 years old as a parody of the history texts she learned from in school. Not that I need the procrastination right now, but it'll be my reward for surviving this week, I think. :D

And just to add to that list of Things to Read When I Finish My Work, there's this article on A Proper Cup of Tea that I received in a newsletter from the Jane Austen Centre in Bath that looks interesting.

AND speaking of procrastination, ExpandI went to my very first Thesis Support Group meeting. Cut for boring babble. :D )
Alright, enough procrastinating. I have a presentation to make and a whole lot of research to do!

Do-dads

You know, I always see people who make posts on silly, interesting, newsworthy, or upsetting things they've found online. I rarely do that, and when I do, it rarely works out well. Mostly because I try very hard to limit my "wandering around" time online, since Hullo thesis!

But today I came across the funniest link, and if nothing else but prosperity, I needed to post about it. Apparently, some credit cards come complete with concierge services, and this guy decided to test out their limits. He called them up and made all sorts of requests, including sending him to space, and they actually came through with all of them!

ETA: I should probably clarify that they do all the research for your request and get the information to you. They don't actually send you to space. :D

I wonder if my credit card comes with concierge services?

And never has this icon applied more than now.
