Nerdworld Soundtrack: A Song For My Research Topic -- "Poison" by Alice Cooper

Alice Cooper's "Poison."

That is all that needs to be said, right? Research topics and I have a desperately dysfunctional love-hate-obsessive relationship. They can bring greatest joy and deepest despair -- and for me, the topic is usually some dead white guy. Currently I'm trying to write an abstract for an upcoming Nerdmoot, and as I told a friend, I'll beat my head against my desk until something useful falls out of it.

Golly, it's awful. Maybe I should really be listening to "Dust in the Wind" by Kansas.

This post is dedicated to Thalia, fellow lovely nerdette who understands the passion, despair, and dysfunction of it all.
