I wish I could tell you something more exciting than my getting a little rained on this morning had happened this week. But you wouldn’t want me to lie to you, now would you?

I am planning a short (business) trip to Maryland next month, and actually have a whole lot I want to get accomplished this weekend. (Like maybe a new issue of Kaleidotrope? There are a few elements there that still need to be squared away.) But until then, there’s not much to report.

Wednesday

We had a team meeting this morning and talked about fun stuff like textbook design and pedagogy.

Then this evening, I read several more issues of The Walking Dead and realized, as I did after the 12th issue several months ago, that maybe this comic just isn’t for me.

You know, it was just that kind of day.

Train of thought

Oh, Monday.

I sometimes worry I’m being too hard on the Long Island Railroad when trains break down, or are delayed, or are over-crowded. These things happen, and maybe I’m just aggravated, just trying to get to work or back home without too much trouble. I mean, most days, the trains run on time, right?

I really have no idea. They didn’t today. I got up this morning at Jamaica to catch my connecting train, only to discover it was running 16 minutes late, and so effectively wasn’t my connecting train anymore. I hopped back on the original train, where of course I no longer had a seat, and rode in to Penn Station.

This evening, my train home was cancelled altogether, and I had to get a slightly later (and hot and overcrowded) train on which a bunch of cancelled trains were squeezed.

In between those, I think I may have done some work.

Slow news day

My writing group is on hiatus for a little while, so I spent the day watching some Doctor Who and trying to read Kaleidotrope submissions.

It was an okay weekend, but pretty quiet.
