Sleep No More

Immersive theatre. What does that mean? All I knew going in was that it meant a lot of walking, mandatory coat check ('nothing hanging off your body', said the polite but insistent ushers) and an ID inspection at the entrance queue. The rest was a weird but thrilling surprise.

busy, busy.

Dead excited about the British Library. Went yesterday and looked up my booklist on the Integrated Catalogue.

THEY HAVE EVERYTHING I NEED. Well, almost everything I need in English, anyway. Mountains of Anna Freud as well--[livejournal.com profile] z107m, thank you so much; I would have never had such good material if not for your posts. Downside is that I need to come back on Friday to actually be able to read them, as most of the books are off-site and need to be fetched.

In other news...
NOT the British Museum )

But my favorite story this week was from my History of Art teacher. She has a friend who works at the British Museum, and he told her that every week he goes down to the lower levels because a falconer comes in with a hawk to hunt the mice that live there.

Think about this carefully. Once a week, in the lower levels of the British Museum, a hawk hunts mice through the archive rooms.

Who needs other worlds? This one is awesome enough.
