Phew. Last weekend, with Anna and Bob in town + Meade convergence was grand, but this week I've had to pay. It's nearing the end of the term (meaning deadline central) and I'm set to travel nearly every weekend in December. I'm finally beginning to come to terms with the fact that living at a fairly frantic pace is my regular M.O. I always seem to be running around, thinking I'm in an unusual phase of busyness; I trick myself into thinking that I just need to "get my life back," or return my life to its regular pace. And what life is that, exactly? But now that I think about it, MSG's been a good influence on that front: I've calmed down a bit, I watch some TV, and I generally waste much more time. Domestic Bliss at its finest, indeed.

One project that's keeping me busy is the first forum I'm putting together for UW's my job- that (barely) pays the bills.
