I had a hard time falling asleep 'cause I'd been in work-mode all day and couldn't seem to shut it off. Ended up having to chat with first Kev, then Jed, just to slow down enough to sleep. In the process, Kev persuaded me that it really probably made more academic sense to go to AWP in New Orleans this year -- I knew that, really, but I was feeling anxious about it. What I really need to do is find out who else is going and who wants to share a hotel room and for how many nights. Then I can book plane tickets. Soon, I swear.
This morning I'm going to head into campus -- have to make copies of the two stories revised yesterday for class (specifically, for those people who didn't manage to make it onto the mailing list over the last week...sigh...). I'll drop those off, then buy some books (ouch) for the Renaissance class and then go sit somewhere warm with some hot tea and read, I think. I sort of want to take my computer with me, but I can't really think of a reason why -- I mean, I'm not planning on taking notes or anything. It's just nice that it's two pounds lighter than my old one, and that I could take it with me without much trouble. But still, it's snowing, and I think I'll just leave it at home. Will also go to the library and read in the Rare Books room, and read for this bio-bibliography project. Class at 3:30, home by 6-ish, more Buffy at 7. Life is good...
Oh, hey -- and congratulations to Tim Pratt -- new editor of Star*Line. It's a fine little publication, which I actually read (comes with my membership in SFPA), and I think he'll do a great job with it. Yay, Tim! (Who also sold a novelette to Realms of Fantasy yesterday -- very impressive. :-)
