highlyeccentricI could update on a number of things, includng
1. why back-to-back conferences and finishing papers at the last minute is less fun than it used to be
2. fun times with trans medievalisms
3. Darkest Lancashire
4. The giant hiking pack I found in the basement is the most amazing luggage I have ever owned, and now I feel disloyal to my Tom Binh Aeronaut
5. An interesting way to divert one's moving / job hunting / phd defence anxieties is to hire a car and attempt long-distance solo driving for the first time in one's life
6. Re-reading LOTR for possibly the first time in a decade, which is a revelation both profound and amusing. Currently I am annoyed because I don't think JRRT understood how forests work vis a vis human _depopulation_.
All of these things are important, but also important: I have found the most wonderful YHA. YHA Tintagel, which appears to be basically an old barn tucked into the cliffside about 15 minutes from Tintagel itself. The access road is untarred and the satnav doesn't believe it even exists. The place is run by volunteers on work-away holidays and it must hold max 20 people at a time. Entirely self-catering, surrounded 180 degrees by sea and the ther 180 by steep grassy cornish cliffs. It's the tiniest hostel I've ever been in, and I love it a Lot.
