AKMA’s Random Thoughts

Another Thursday

This term, Thursday is my Friday, if you see what I mean. I don’t have any classes scheduled for Friday, and my intense prepare-teach-and-read-papers week (with meetings and appointments wrapped around and infiltrated between) eases off a dite, until Monday begins it all again.

So I came home from school this afternoon after my two-hour Greek tutorial and evening mass, and after dinner with my academic hotshot spouse, I settled down and watched our Netflix rental DVD of Bowling for Columbine, which Margaret and I found nettlesome and powerful, both.

I’ll crash soon, then tackle the Board of Trustees meeting tomorrow, I have a couple of letters of recommendation to write, a letter to compose for some bishops, a keynote address to write for next weekend, two stacks of papers to mark, I need a haircut, and I owe the Disseminary some attention. After I get all that squared away, it’s back to work.

I wish I’d been able to go to eTech; sounds like it was quite the get-together. But when one puts inventive and passionate people into small quarters for concentrated time, exciting things can happen. I’m glad so many sharp minds had the chance to strike sparks from one another.

(I would mention that linklobber Bob Carlton put me onto Flikr, just when the befriending process was settling down on Orkut, but I don’t have time. Exactly what I needed — another social software network. But this one looks interesting: it’s by Ludicorp, the Game Neverending people. Hmmmm. . . .)
