next up: here's luck conquers the world
1) I got a ticket to see Josh Rouse this weekend. Woo!
2) I stopped at the post office to mail off packages to various and sundry, and while there discovered these kick-ass new stamps with snakes and turtles and stuff, which I got because I needed stamps anyway.
3) As I was parking my bike, I noticed that my speed/distance tracker, which I put on the bike sometime in early August, indicates that I've reached 175 miles, which isn't bad for basic commuter biking. Now I'm feeling inspired to do a nice long ride this weekend to get it up over 200.
4) As I was coming out of the departmental office just now after a round of bureaucracy with assorted blessedly patient department staff, my diss committee second-in-command guy, of whom I am very fond, stopped me to say that I've been nominated for "a boatload" (his term) of teaching awards this year. To which I say: damn right, and about fucking time.
If I don't post again for the next few days, feel free to assume that I've been hit by a bus as part of a big ol' cosmic re-balancing of karma.
