I'm also happy because local news has returned to our area of the country after a short absence because of the Denver Broncos. Because the Denver Broncos loss yesterday, thing are returning to normal and those of us who don't care about NFL football can get on with our lives (at least in Denver).

I'm happy because living next to a good art college (Calarts) and having friends there means I get to go to cool and interesting things. Last Friday I went to a lecture by Mike Mignola, creator of the graphic novel Hellboy, and tomorrow evening I get to go hear Mark Hammill speak (Luke Skywalker in Star Wars). And I'd never read a Hellboy comic before (though I think I wil now. He uses mythology, and I'm a sucker for mythology), and I'm not even that much into Star Wars (a little too young to be a true fanatic).

I think I'm going to these things partly to make people on this board jealous.  ;D Oh yes, I am evil.

Considering that Mark Hamill lives in Malibu, it really isn't all that bad of a drive to Valencia.

And yes, I am jealous.

Congrats!

Spent the afternoon hanging out with my department and my old boss, Peter. We played pool and ate really *hot* chili. After such a weird couple of previous weeks (strange medicine making me all jittery and emotional, still sick, strange guy stalking me, and annual reviews, all within the course of about a week and a half), it was so nice to relax and talk books and trade gossip on the industry.

Sheesh. How awful! Good thing you finally got some R&R time. I sure hope your meds aren't messing with you anymore. I didn't know that guy was still bothering you, either. :( That sucks. Makes me wish I could put a hex on him or something for you... Hope your weekend's been nice.

Not anymore, on either. Just saying it was nice for that to be over.
