visit historic Winchester!
After sixteen epic hours in the car yesterday, I made it home. Yes, sixteen hours, by myself, with only my increasingly disjointed thoughts for company. It was wonderful to see my family, and I actually got along with the youngest sister (we can only take each other in very small doses), but they're on the far side of a drive that involved an hour-long detour around a rockslide and another hour spent in traffic in Cincinnatti, so now I'm mostly happy to be back with Finn, whom I've missed.
Although I did see this yesterday. Yes, I totally stopped at this exit to refuel (gas for the car and coffee for me):
Trin and I decided that, ten years or so from now, "Historic Winchester" will actually mean "Come and see a motel where the Winchester brothers spent the night during October 2005." There will be numerous claims eventually proven false by scholars, sort of like how there are enough splinters out there to make a grove of True Crosses. Amirite? I think so.
.in other news: I'm still kind of busy this week, which is annoying; it's the kind of busy that is not "working on my dissertation." I'm doing a presentation thingy on Friday that, for some reason, has changed from "practice job talk" to "part of a chapter." WHAT PART OF A CHAPTER, ADVISOR? I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO ANYTHING AT ALL FOR WEEKS. *hands* Well, they're going to get the first version of my interview talk, and maybe by some miracle I will actually be able to present it to an actual school that might like to hire me. Once I'm done with that, maybe if I'm good I can start working on actual work again.
Speaking of busy and having hit skip=100 after a single day of posts, there is no way, no way, I'm going to be able to catch up on my flist, so I will just say... HELLO AFTER MORE THAN A WEEK I HAVE MISSED YOU ALL WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN UP TO??????
