Holy crap.
This cold is still kicking my ass. Remember how I said my classes were meeting online on Tuesday? About five minutes into the first class, I fell asleep (because of space considerations in my room, my bed doubles as my computer chair), and woke up with Kerry having about a 77-67 lead in the Electoral College. Oops. I'm still faring too poorly to go into classes now; I'm sleeping way too much, my throat is killing me and I'm going into these awful coughing jags that are just taking the life out of me. I shouldn't be missing these many classes now that I'm in grad school (the three years of my undergraduate career at UT I only took one sick day), but I'm in classes with TAs now and if I get them sick, they not only miss classes but their students do as well.
Oh, and how about that election, huh? I think when I look for schools to get my doctorate at, I'll stick to Canada and England.
Evan Coyne Maloney -- the Maloney who inspired maloneysbaloney.org -- actually e-mailed me last week. He seems a relatively nice chap, but I don't even want to think about responding to him until I can think straight.
Finally, I know I said the .org mailbag would get published today, but I'm nodding off here already (I've only been up for about three hours), so I may put that off for a day or two. Next week, though, I'm doing my tribute to Chad Dupree, and you won't want to miss that. Most of you probably won't be able to miss it, if you know what I mean.
