Not sure what happened to this month. I can't believe it is Week 10 of the semester. I have been busy reading, and writing, and revising. OH, and I made Halloween costumes. Pictures forthcoming as soon as I find my camera and upload pictures onto my computer. It was EPIC. Especially when one of your friends is willing to dress up as the Labyrinth.
No, not a Labyrinth, but the one and only David Bowie/Goblin King Labyrinth.
I would like to point out that this year I did, in fact, complete the RIP challenge. You just don't know it b/c I didn't post that fourth review. And I ain't gonna. No time, no time. Besides, how am I supposed to review the first gothic novel ever written - The Castle of Otranto? However, I like to have completed some goals in life, even if in the grand scheme of things they aren't important.
I also importantly submitted not one but two grant applications. Neither are very good, but at least I turned them in. Another due on Wednesday, a paper due on Friday.... and then a small breather as we all gear up for the big AAA conference in the Big Easy (New Orleans that is). Maybe this year will inspire me to write another poem. The AAA in S.F created an ode to Talal Asad (which I won't dredge up as it was awful). He is my academic anti-hero.
Much love and happiness to you all, and happy November.
