Field Trip City

It's a bit of a long road through the bush with that Moodie/Parr Traill book, though it does have some interesting information on what it meant to be a published writer midway through the 19th century. A lot of it was a correspondence game with Britain until print houses starting appearing on Canadian soil, and even then the success of a work was gauged by its reception overseas.

In between chapters I polished off the 30 Rock box set, watched some X-Files and installed Office into my computer. I'm trying to get ahold of Photoshop but the torrent is dragging.

Lots of work to do today.
