I survived Peoria!  And I actually quite enjoyed Galesburg, where the defense was held (awesome student - I look forward to meeting her at a conference someday).  I have many comments to make, concerning everything from Endicott to the WisCon debacle, but I've spent all weekend grading, and thus, I'm fluffy.

So! 

New York was awesome.  I spent one day hanging out with the 'rents entirely (there was shopping, oh, yes, precious: I am now the possessor of the World's Most Fabulous Red Velvet Dress, which none of you will ever see me in, as, hot damn)  (Also, as is always the case with my more ... scandalous outfits, I can say, 100% Mommy Approved),  and one day of hanging out with friends (there was flea-marketing!  and drinking!  and Cottage!  and dancing drunkenly to terrible, terrible music!  it was bliss), and one day of wandering around the Village with the 'Gnu (which was bliss of a different sort).  Needless to say, I am now terribly homesick.

Now that I am home, I am frantically, as I mentioned above, grading: I am revising the Alice paper for a July 15th deadline; I am writing a whole new paper on dystopian fairy tales and the novels of Kate Bernheimer for a June 15th deadline.  Someday, I get to breathe again, right?  I mean, aside from three-day weekends?

Now, the Lost finale.  Um, what?  Thoughts?  And possibly, pointers towards good sources of fanfic to tide me over until January '09?

alice_ayers:  your b-day gift of season one of Grey's Anatomy?  So the best present ever.  I am currently indulging in a rewatching, and appreciating the soundtrack that I was too caught up to notice the first time, and generally loving it.

Um.  Also, now, sleep.
