Wow. I've wanted to post several times this week but due to a massive computer meltdown last weekend was unable to do so. I'm still trying to put my computer back together, Humpty-Dumpty-style. I want to say here, in no uncertain terms, that Dell and Microsoft suck ass. For so many reasons, which I won't enumerate because that would take longer than the 5 hours I spent on the phone with tech support. Bleh.
Of course, all those things I wanted to blog about? Forgotten. Which tells me they were probably not worth discussing in the first place.
I'm sure I'll think of something else shortly. Not that it matters because, to my knowledge, only one person is actually reading this thing. (Hi, Kim!)
In the meantime, this is a big week: penultimate lecture for the course I'm teaching on the history of the Vietnam War, and major conference presentation on my dissertation research in Seattle on Friday (Organization of American Historians annual shindig). Among other things. Happy about the former, nervous about the latter. Glad this semester is coming to a relatively (so far) successful close. *knock wood* The conference could go any number of ways; it has been a few months since I've really thought much about my dissertation. I took a burn-out induced break post-defense. It's time to get back at it, however; I'm glad that the Seattle show is pushing me back to it, though nervous about how I'll be received.
Oh, and that lay-off I was talking about before? Safe till June 30. After that it's anybody's guess, but for now I'm breathing.
One of these days I'm going to blog about something substantive. One of these days...
