um, wtf...??
um, wtf...??
It was kind of a rough return to the darts regular season. We knew we'd be a bit rusty, having not played an official match in 3 weeks. But the venue made it that much more difficult. We were at The Garage Team - which is exactly what it sounds like - someone's garage. That would be OK except it's one of those garages that's full of of everything. The guy that lives there is kind of a pack rat, having collected all kinds of ridiculous items that served as quite a distraction. Then there was the one guy's girlfriend sitting on the couch, just within my perepheral vision all night. At one point, I was standing right in front of her - I could sense her staring at my ass - then she said "that's the best view I've had all night." I blushed and then couldn't throw well for a little while.
We actually recovered well after being down 4-1, and ended up losing 7-6. My highlight was getting what appeared to be a Ton 80, but upon closer inspection the 3rd dart wired out of the triple and I only had a Ton 40. Ton 80's are elusive. I f you hit on in a league game, they give you a little trophy commemorating your accomplishment. ...Man, I want one of those trophies.

1. Utopian Texts
1. Chronological List of Utopian Texts
Note: not all of these texts are necessarily 'utopias' in the strict sense (whether there can be said to be a strict sense of this term is another matter), but they all have elements of the genre - or are used in our course.
Several early modern utopian texts can be found in digital reproductions of the original editions on Early English Books Online (EEBO) and/or Gallica.
The compilers of the New York Public Library exhibition Utopia: the search for the ideal society in the western world have put together an even more comprehensive bibliography of primary texts, starting at 1516. See also the hardly less comprehensive primary bibliography of the exhibition "Utopie, la qu?te de la soci?t? id?ale en Occident" at the Biblioth?que nationale de France.

1. Early Modern Feminism
Note: there are a range of works written in the period 1516-1789 that debate the position of women in relation to education and society. Although perhaps not strictly 'utopian' in nature, they might make an interesting comparison with such works. Many are published in translation in the University of Chicago Press series 'The Other Voice in Early Modern Europe'. See especially:
