Let the Age of Badassery Begin
A year and a half I've been meaning to redesign this blog. There's no time in the academic year for such a thing. The first summer I got tied up with a Foucault seminar and family matters. The second summer I moved across the country. And sometime in there I started reading Joelle over at Tenth Muse, who's funny and smart and always has the best looking blog around. And it turns out she's in the business of making blogs prettier!
The Faust Owl* is from a 1914 Louis Moe print, and Joelle worked it into a wonderfully wintery design. She also upgraded me to the latest MT, improved my archive functions and feeds, installed Blacklist, and put the accent back in Arete. I never felt so good about sending money to a stranger on the Internet. You should all hire her immediately.
Such a lovely home can only improve the thought process. I'm certain of it.
*Perhaps appropriate for a grad-student blog, no?

Beauty!

You sure it’s not the Owl of Minerva?

Yep, I'm sure. It's carefully catalogued as Faust.
