 Got the opportunity today to page through my college's fragment of the Nuremberg Chronicle from the 1400's.  It was surprisingly thrilling!  Apart from being extremely beautiful and relevant to the project I'm working on at the moment, there was a whole lot of freaky stuff going on back then, from siamese twins to bridges collapsing and a bunch of people drowning, babies that were half lion (?), lions being fished out of rivers (?)... Makes me wish my latin weren't so pathetic.  
Anyway, here are some sketches I did:



Now I what I would like most is to get over this godawful cold that's been hounding me for the past MONTH.

I'm posting to distract myself from the fact that I'm having a heckuva time with my dissertation right now.  I am in a pessimistic rut.  My only comfort right now is that I'm reasonably confident in the writing portions of the paper.  
All I wanted to do today was cook and bake.  For some reason I can't stop thinking about Goulash.  

( I'm not even gonna pretend...these are just some sketchy things that I happened to have scanned in. )
