albauk, you'll be pleased to know that I've been listening to Battle all damn day. :) I moved into a big shared office the day before I left for the Franztravaganza (it's basically a party when all five of us are here; nothing gets accomplished, it's great), and as a result I feel justified in clamping my headphones over my skull and listening to whatever the hell I feel like.
(but yes, in case there's any doubt, really this post is in lieu of more gratuitous wailing about how much I miss Franz. at least my coworkers are mostly impressed by my "dedication" rather than terrified. they're alright.)
eta: now my coworkers are talking about ST:TNG slash. agh. crisis.
