Presentation: I win

[beccaelizabeth]

I stood up in front of the whole class and made words all in a row and didn't tie myself to anything and probably even made sense. Win!

Everyone said it was good. From inside my head it never seems particularly good. But it did seem okay, so that's nice.

Now I am in the UEA library having taken most of my books back. I have to decide if I want to finish reading the one with a Chandler chapter that's in the reader and last chapter on someone I haven't heard of... hmmm, it's abotu detective fiction turning into police fiction... okay, that's still interesting. I renew that one.

Tonight: Norwich Science Fiction Group at the Ribs of Beef pub.

I have tired, I have cranky, and I have no food because all the vegetarian places I know are daylight places. Reckon I could go to the Thai Dragon again and walk from there. Plate of curry triangles = win.

But today worked pretty good.


Oh, also? I was first to speak. Because of the alphabet. Yet I still did pretty good. :-)

Detective fiction turning into police fiction sounds interesting, because it mirrors amateur turning into professional, in sport, which happened remarkably late, in this country, and has (as you would expect) all sorts of race, sex and gender expectations tied into it.

Look at it; you have the "gentlemen amateur" (and occasional lady; Miss Marple etc) tradition of investigator replaced by people who do it because it's a job; where you contrast someone who doesn't have to worry about who minds the kids and the cats when they hare up to Aberdeen to follow a clue with someone whose partner hates the job and who is always having to negotiate work/life balance issue, one becomes "realism" and the other becomes "fantasy" (for strictly limited values of each).
