arrrrrh!

It's International Talk Like A Pirate Day. Presumably in commemoration of this, Ursula Vernon just says no to girly girly products.

In other news, my morning's lecture (Frankenstein and feminism) was invaded by a permanent member of staff, dragging a matric student who was job-shadowing her. Staff member said she was present because my reputation as a lecturer precedes me. (Unquote). If they think I lecture so bloody well, why the hell can't they give me a job? Keel-haul the bastards. Better still, scuttle the ship.
