(no subject)

I am finally emerging from the month of November (and look, it's only December 9). Thank you all for your supportive comments and emails regarding my meeting anxiety. The paper presentation went well. The Intellectual Hero turned out to be a Big Deal Scholar (tm) and didn't even show for my panel, being apparently both too Big a deal to come or send word about not coming. Still, there were 20 people in the room and eight of those people were my friends. So it was a great environment for a first paper. Whee!

I am working on holiday cheer. I made a mix tape and I'm throwing a Please Sun, Please Come Back party in my class today. Sort of pre-solstice, end of class relax day.

In other news, gacked from postholedigger. This was too good to pass up. Plus, it's kinda accurate. ;-)


You are a double espresso at three AM.

You are the tortured, nail-biting essence of
coffee. You see visions. You could change the
world if only you were up at the same time as
everyone else. You have created a programming
language that throws errors if the code is not
written in iambic pentameter, and you are
infuriated by the typos in the new edition of
Ulysses. You practice sarcasm as a
form of tantric sex, and your cats have
doctorates. You believe in virgin sacrifice in
a good cause.


What kind of coffee are you?
