AAR conference speech and insomnia
Today I did some editing work on my AAR speech, adjusting the language into something easier to speak and less like something to read. It makes me happy and terrified.
I also took a 5 hour nap which made up slightly for waking up at 3a.m. with back pain and sinus trouble and not being able to sleep again. I watched two Harry Potter movies and did the laundry before coming home to collapse. The rain helped considerably. For some reason I love sleeping during a rain storm. It's like nature's pause button.
I'm also excited to have recently acquired an mp3 of Still by the Geto Boys [né Ghetto Boys]. For those who don't know, it's the song played during the printer murder in Office Space. One of the things that has made me sometimes feel marginal as a queer is my love of heavy metal, hard rock, and rap. Who's the queer Public Enemy?
