State of the Texty: Palate Cleansing Edition

[textualdeviance]

Way too many maudlin, self-pity-riddled navel-gazing posts here lately. Keep meaning to get back to this as a proper, far-more-diversified blog space instead of the endless whinefest it seems to be turning into, but I keep getting distracted by other stuff.

Sounds like life is moving along nicely for you right now(and seems you have it all well in hand). :)Also, don't feel *too* guilty about your trip. Life's way too short.

Yeah, I skimmed Making Room a little more this weekend, and most of that seems like what we've already gone through with the seminar and such. I can imagine it might be useful for people who aren't as hardcore about doing pre-research as we are.

Looks like the other one had to do with the guy they had some special event with recently. So maybe that's part of it.
