transcribing old english by hand is painful, you know?
i photocopied my manuscript of The Order of the World finally today, and am swimming through the first step of creating what is known as a 'diplomatic transcription.' i go through and write it out by hand, it's a way of forming a bond with the text, a good relationship as it were, so that in the future it will submit more readily to my attempts to examine it. it's also a good way to ease me into the editing process. i will have to transcribe it, translate it and create a glossary. it's a lot of work. and this is all to be done by december 2nd. so far i've copied down the first page, and it's made my wrist rather sore. my writing muscles must be out of shape.

removed my long entries because i was sick of scrolling through them. i'm not sure why i needed to bother to see the bottom of my space... i guess it's sort of like how you want to be able to see your feet when you look down. whatever. i kept the watch one because of the reference to skinnydipping.
still very pleased with myself for my work on the radio last night. i did a short jazz set all by myself in which i played some songs i genuinely liked. a john coltrane version of Nature Boy, a cool song called Murfy, i forget the band... i also really loved playing the jazz arrangement of satie's gymnopedie no. 1, which i think was also in the Royal Tenenbaums... happily my mentor dj is going to dub me a cd of last night's show which i am sure i will treasure. as a bonus a couple cool people from my printmaking class were listening and they thought i had a good jazz radio voice. so i take it that means it's sultry and sexy. what a relief! at least when i am a disembodied voice i have some appeal. makes sense in a way. yes, about any format where i don't have to look you in the eye and speak to you really enhances my charm, i find.
