Two months without posting. That's a probably a record. There are reasons, but they're mostly dull and slightly depressing. In other news, however:

• I realized during my run today that I will need new shoes soon. This does not fill me with the same happiness at acquiring a shiny new pair of runners that it used to. Mostly it just feels like one more thing that I need to find time to do. I sigh at the thought.
• I also am becoming increasingly frustrated with my phone and wanting to replace it. But that's just one more thing to go shopping for.
• I'm also really angry these days. It might be one of those stages of grief, though grief for what, I'm not sure. But I find myself increasingly annoyed at other people. Though, come to think of it, I've mostly been annoyed at other academics.
• Four conferences in 10 weeks. That might be why I'm annoyed and angry. 
• Then again, only three of those conferences required papers presented and the panels I was on were good (well, except for the one where I was the only presenter who showed up; then again, it was obviously fantastic because the presenter was so awesome!) 
• The fourth only required administrative/organizational work and a roundtable participation. 
• Three more weeks of spring term. I cannot wait for the end. Then again, the next three weeks will be the busiest ones, and I'm a little worried about how I'll keep up with the marking and prep.
• I won't if I keep blogging, now, will I?

May it be sooner than July when you next hear from me.
