emma reads: In my own theorizing, the expectancy command system was deemed to be confluent with the trans-diencephalic self-stimulation system that arises from ventral tegmental areas, and projects through the medial forebrain bundle to the ventral striatum (nucleus accumbens) and various zones of the frontal cortex. Forty years of research on self-stimulation have demonstrated that the underlying circuitry is a positively valenced innate system of the brain that interacts strongly with cognitive structures.

emma thinks: hurhurhur, he said "self-stimulation"

Do any of you lovelies have a paper-copy of American Gods? I was listening to the audiobook when my laptop went kaput, and if I could borrow a copy to read to the end I'd be most obliged!

Next term's theatrical schedule is filling up apace... not only do I get the central and integral roles in the OULES Panto, Cinderella - "Buxom Wench" (a one-liner about "a couple of jugs") and "The Tree of Truth" (no lines, but I get to throw fruit at people), I also get to sing many songs and be party to necrophilia in Ruddygore.

So, expect to live in the Moser in 7th and 8th weeks, Emma-fans!

Oh, hurrah and congratulations! Much Moser fun will be had - I'm especially excited about the fruit-throwing.

Can you give me any more clues about who's who in the kingdom of... wherever it is that mingles fairytale glamour with hunting rahs, pirates and chlamydia jokes?

Looks like silly nicknames might have to be the order of the day. Tragedy :P

Hurrah for Helen! That's awesome.

(Am hanging out for Sunday, so I can point and laugh at anyone who has to sing/wear a silly costume. Not you, obv., as don't want fruit thrown at me during inopportune moments. Katie, who are you?)

Well if it comes to silly nicknames i'm just calling you Granny (especially since I know you still have me in your phone as Duchess - Magrat too for that matter). I am to be chorus and potential bride 6.

I can bring you a copy of good omens on Saturday, if you can't get one before then.

[anotherusedpage.livejournal.com]

By which I mean, of course, American Gods. I will also be returning foreverdirt's copy of good omens. Also, I have no brain.

I've got the audiobook burnt to CD. I'm on the third to last disc at the moment so if you can give me an idea of how far you are I could get you the CDs tomorrow or something...

i think i'll try to get a hold of the actual book first, because listening to audiobooks while nattering to people on msn was my order of the day, and without laptop i haven't the luxury of msn in my room.

however, if things change, i may well come back to this offer - thanks!
