So. Today. Not enough hours at work this week. I'm not getting enough done while I'm at home to make up for not being there, and Will is, frankly, honestly not feeling well enough to go back tomorrow. This sucks. It's going to take me months to make up all the extra time I'm needing to take off.
On the up side, had lunch with Brannon and Scott, late of MGS. His last day is tomorrow. Doing the contracter lunch thing seemed like a good plan, and it was good to see them both. I definitely need to get up to see Brannon and his boy more often.
Went to class. Left my paper at home (oops). S'okay, I got the argument about the theory essay we discussed better than more than half the class regardless, and he didn't insist on seeing the papers either. Also, my group presentation for the other class got pushed back to Tuesday through the kindness of my professor. Yay for kind professors. :)
I'm really digging my classes to an unseemly degree. I'm coming up with weird juxtapositions and branching off into things I'd like to do some research on, like:
And let's not even get into the implications of the Romantic notion of the Picturesque on Austen's novels, or the omnipresence, even requirement, of the cult of personality throughout the French Revolution and the Napoleonic era. It's just... fun. It's good to be a student again. :)

- H. P. Lovecraft and Burke's theory of the Sublime
- How does universality apply to the online world?
- The connections between Barthes insistence on the death of the author and the way we converse online, specifically on forums and message boards, where conversations have multiple random authors and are a snapshot in time...
