nothing like more debt, but there are some invitations and opportunities that are not to be passed by, such as presenting for the Association of Cultural Studies in Istanbul and a potential side trip to Iran.

random moments

There was the colleague I saw this morning who didn't moderate the emphasis: "You look like you could use a cup of coffee."

The professor who took pains to express in several different ways what I "need to understand."

The lecture that included details about the despicable events at Duke over the weekend.

The cartoon drawn for me by a student mocking my emphasis on parsimony in writing. I forgot to write down the sentence reconstructed to correct a dangling modifier. :-( It referred to "festering trolls in the basement" and was a genuine collaborative effort, with the adjective, subject, and location (I think) all supplied by different individuals. More of this!

The idea for a SNL skit on a PR firm specializing in dissertation titles for graduate students.

Finally, there were blini. (Delicious!)

So I joined up and get 'reminders' at various intervals regarding things I want to do. Today's reminder is "play more" - and I do do this a fair amount, but of course there are always spontaneous moments when it can be squeezed into the middle of other things. :-) I took a moment a look at one of the other 72 people who have also said they want to play more. mittenimraum's list includes two items which more than 3000 people want to do:

see the northern lights
kiss in the rain

Yea, sounds good to me! :-)
