Hey, I'm back in Seattle. How about that? And it's Pi day! Give me a holler if you're around.
I've been kind of absent from any sort of communication in the past week due to confluence of midterms, essays, peer editing, and various other things. I did find the time to go see a fine production of Arcadia, by Tom Stoppard. I got much more out of it than I did when I read it - probably the best balance of comic/intellectual/emotional out of the plays of his that I've read.
Currently reading Jan Potocki's The Manuscript Found in Saragossa. Surprising number of incestuous threesomes for an early 19th-century Polish novel. It's very entertaining, there's barely a plot, just stories within stories within stories. The author was apparently one of the founders of ethnography, traveled everywhere, and blew his brains out with a silver bullet fashioned from his sugar bowl and blessed by the local chaplain.
Snoop blows my mind yet again.
