Moot Thoughts & Musings

Sometimes living in Louisiana just plain sucks. Would you believe that Patrologia Latina or access to the online database is not available in ANY significant university library in New Orleans or Baton Rouge!?!? The fundamental resource for basically anything in Latin that at least I am looking for. The sheer dearth of materials for basic medieval research is staggering. I am just astounded. The searches pull up practically nothing. And then I find one good source, and it's checked out!!! (well, of course, it's the one good source!) This is SOOOO frustrating!!! How in the world am I supposed to write a dissertation down here, if I can't even manage a term paper!!!!??!
