Here's what I did with my afternoon

I was so loamy with malaise today that when I sat down with K. for an online work session, I was sure that if in our alotted hour I managed to submit my lone request for funding, I would have done as much as I could possibly expect of myself.

(This is the request for funding to take the online course Reading the Odyssey with Bruce King, the same instructor I studied Gilgamesh with last spring.)

I did complete the request, despite many very stupid technical issues.

Somehow this led to my remembering that I'd wanted to write a kind of mock-but-not academic essay about how "Tigger is Unbounced" is an epic narrative.

All this to say that I spent the rest of that hour, and then another afterwards, amusing myself with the following:

( If We Look for this Pit, We Might Find Home: A.A. Milne's 'Tigger is Unbounced' as Epic Narrative )

Notes

1. I apologize profusely for "poohniverse." I couldn't un-hear it.
