If Music Could Talk

Apparently graduating from UNC with highest distinction doesn't make it any easier to get a damn job there, by the way. Have yet to hear back from anything I've applied to. If I don't have any luck, I will be going back to service & retail.

My fear that finishing the doctorate would make me "over qualified" for even more jobs was born out when I started applying for various editing positions. Over fifteen years experience, plus a PhD, and not a nibble. Part of it is my lack of French (always a problem in this town) and part of it is that most places actually want someone with a business/advertising background. But I'm sure that employers don't comprehend the kinds of skills that one has to develop to complete a graduate degree. Critical thinking, assimilation of material, clear expression. Instead, it's: We don't need a historian on staff. I can't help but think I'd have better luck looking for editing work if I only had the MA.

Overheard (by, I guess, our cats) in Castle Medulla: "We are not going to watch Three's Company!" Said by Dr. Mrs. Dr. Medulla to Dr. Medulla, who didn't actually want to watch Three's Company but wanted her to change the channel.

I smell a sitcom in the making, sort of Odd Couple-esque. We'll call it Doctor Doctor.

If you can get Robert Redford or one of the One Directions to play me, I'll sign off.

If you want to ooze sexual charisma, you'll want Harry to play you. If you want to be less charismatic, but more ethnic, you'll want Zayn. Plus he has the technical chops. Liam if you want bland but serviceable. Avoid Louis and Niall at all costs.

Their first album is still a classic if you ask me, but that's one unattractive band.

That's just first album era. He's a man now

You can thank his former musical mentor, now baby mama for that.

Not that snazzy going out in public with dirty hands. If you're going to play in mud, wash up when you're done, young man.

They're a quietly and artfully smart band. However, they seem no uglier than any Glasgow pub at midnight.

Saw a genuine photo of the real Arch Duke and Sophie taken right before their biggest hit. She was not as cute as I envisage an assassinated Sophie to be.
