gone down the rabbit hole
As of tomorrow morning there’s no more prepping, only doing. I doubt I’ll be here much for the next ten days, but I’ll pop in occasionally to moderate comments and zap spam. I’ll probably still post over at Waterlogged, because the cory fry are growing up so quickly.
In the meantime, I’ll leave you with this Tenniel illustration and a link to the very first entry on this blog, back when it was named Areté and I was a wee Master’s student:“I only took the regular educational course,” said the Mock Turtle with a sigh.
“What was that?” inquired Alice.
“Reeling and Writhing, of course, to begin with,” the Mock Turtle replied; “and then the different branches of Arithmetic — Ambition, Distraction, Uglification, and Derision.”
“I never heard of ‘Uglification,’” Alice ventured to say. “What is it?”
The Gryphon lifted up both its paws in surprise. “What! Never heard of uglifying!” it exclaimed. “You know what to beautify is, I suppose?”
“Yes,” said Alice doubtfully: “it means - to - make - anything - prettier.”
“Well, then,” the Gryphon went on, “if you don't know what to uglify is, you must be a simpleton.”
There’s more if you click through.

Break... um... ok, you did that already. Good luck!
