I’m not married. I feel the need to say that. Because i suspect over the next few months there might be quite a few tidbits about a chap named Bert, who I will speak of as if we were married. We are, I guess. But only in the way that intellectual-nerdy types think of when they’ve personified projects. Yep, as of the other day, Bert is the name of my doctoral thesis.
Here is the original “relationship” declaration – which took place on Facebook.***
Bert and I aren’t really on speaking terms at the moment. I figured we’d sort it out this morning – have a real heart to heart about everything – but my grumpiness was reinforced and he’s just going to have to wait until i cool off. I might have to do some reading of journal articles this after (i think of this like ironing his shirts) but in the meantime I’ve begun to wonder whether the way to his heart is through mine and other people’s stomachs! Cooking has been one of my sanity-inducing activities of late.
***Yes, there are additional nerdy layers of meta-meaning there…However, the take away is this: Given the insanity of the last few months (maybe chaos is a more apt description) the Goannatree Facebook Page has been seeing more of me than The Blog. So, go check it out…and meet some of the other lovely people who drop by to write snarky (read: they know me and my sense of humour), generous, insightful comments, or to leave me links to things i might find interesting.
