mid-morning ramblings

yendiWell, 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.
