Aug. 5th, 2002 08:23 amFour hours of sleep.
Ankle still in pain.
Presentation at the Theology School Online program this morning on the use of electronic communication in pedagogy.
In-laws tonight.
There's not enough coffee in the world for all of this.
On the plus side, at least I'll get hugs from my little girl tonight. It'll make the rest of this shit bearable (although it won't make me any less tired).

mid-morning ramblings
Aug. 5th, 2002 11:29 amWell, I survived the presentation. Which was to only four faculty, and some TAs. *shrug*. I did well, though -- connected with their issues, made good points, etc.
I needed that high -- I'm still in a little depressive funk, partially based on what I posted last night, partially based on some other stuff, and partially based on chemistry.
Had both a huge calf spasm, and a renewed burst of the depression right before 11. Am better on both counts now.
With my insomnia last night, I read the first 2.5 volumes of Starman. I'd only read the first 1.5 before. I'm really enjoying it. I'm amazed at how good Robinson's writing was, and how nicely he tied together all of the previous Starmen (although some weren't needed, to be honest). The only other stuff he's written that I've read are The Golden Age (which I loved, but which is almost like a long version of every What If, done with the All-Star Squadron), and the delightful Leave it to Chance. I'll need to track down some of his other stuff. Though you can't pay me enough to read Cable, no matter who writes it.
Oh, and the best thing about the presentation this morning was that I was able to snag two more cups of coffee and a poppyseed bagel.

Aug. 5th, 2002 03:03 pmI just got the following email from Dan's Chocolates:
Son and Daughter's day is this Sunday, August 11th. And despite the fact that little Johnny may have scraped the ice (and paint) off your car this winter with his snowshovel, or the "emerging" Rebecca went straight to her summer job from college without stopping by home, some Dan's Chocolates should be in order.
You must be shitting me. Haven't these people ever heard that "every day is Children's Day?"
(aside -- Elayna didn't buy the "children's day" argument any more than I did at her age)
I'm opposed to much of the Hallmarkization that goes on anyway, but this is just ludicrous.
