It's nice to be home again
So I had a rather eventful weekend, and I think (hope?) that things have settled into some semblance of order. Here's the recap:
- On Friday I took my mother in for a minor medical procedure (don't worry her colon is fine.) But that took time and energy.
- On Saturday morning my mother and I went to a rummage sale at a fairly well-to-do private high school. It was amazing, and we some great stuff. Limited clothing, a tea carafe a tea pot (1.75 liters, in the Japaneese style. some books including "Paterns of Culture" and an Urusula K. LeGuin book I haven't read.)
- On Saturday afternoon I drove to Champaign-Urbana and talked for a BarCamp about some computer software that I think is really cool, and I learned from other people about some JavaScript stuff and some Agile development stuff. It was a good experience, for sure.
- On Saturday night I hung out with wildflowerfever and we talked about a bunch of cool things: publishing, writing, academia and academic careers, college, literary theory, poetry, life, non-academic careers, and etc. We also watched the video-blog nerdfighter/brotherhood 2.0 which is made of awesomeness.
- On Sunday I had brunch with wildflowerfever, edgydystonic, and thunderperfect. Which was quite nice. We talked about a lot of the same stuff, and more and it was great!
- Then I drove home like a madman and Morris Danced for a little while. Our hankie tossing dance is really rough, but our show dance for the ale will rock intensely.
- Then I woke up this morning made a bunch of tea and I've been chipping away at a bunch of stuff.
It's good to be home. There's a lot on my plate and some dark clouds, I suppose, on the horizon, but I can do it. For real.
Be in touch.
(ETA: I made this post with ljupdate.el the emacs livejournal client which rocks and works supurbly)
