Busy Weekend!

For something completely opposite of last weekend's bite-sized vacation, I stayed indoors, in my pajamas, and did not leave the computer's side pretty much the entire weekend. Wanna know why?

Lovecraft, Gold Award, and the Beach

Has anyone out there read any Lovecraft?

I just started a few days ago, and I still can't decide if I enjoy his short stories because of the 'weird' factor (coincidentally also the name of Lovecraft's type of fiction) or because his style is just so unique. They're scary, or at least I think they're scary. I get scared easily, so that might not be a good case to judge by.

The Big Kahuna

The Big Kahuna. The most dreaded part of senior year, both high school and college levels: it has to be none other than the research paper / thesis. And guess who gets to start that process on Monday?

Mee!

THE ASSIGNMENT

• Pick two books, plays, short stories, long poems, authors, subgenres (etc.) and compare them, as a literary analysis.
• MLA Format, seven to ten pages in length.
• Ten source notecards, fifty note note cards.

For my thesis, I am going to compare the styles of Edgar Allen Poe and his predecessor, H.P. Lovecraft.
