New blog

Via Invisible Adjunct, I recently came across a new blog I've been enjoying, Household Opera. I have a certain resistance to reading academic blogs too often—some of the pain too familiar?—but I've enjoyed Amanda's posts. (It's like when I worked in the travel industry and couldn't look at the travel section of the Sunday paper without flinching.) I've had my copy of Richard Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy sitting on the cart next to my computer with a bookmark in the section "Overmuch Study" ready to quote here, but Amanda already did.
