This is just to say:

I appreciate every single damn one of your comments, emails and texts, you are all fabulous fabulous people. I am not replying to things because my parents are here (which, by the way, is cool but EPIC DISCOMBOBULATE) and convocation is TOMORROW, ohmygod, and can you believe I still haven't quite finished my papers yet. (If you can see a logical discontinuity in the preceding, you're not the only one.)

So, anyway, gamesiplay is a total rock star who has dealt with 12,000 words of my academic writing in the last 72 hours, so a huge round of applause for her, please, and another for the South African Siren who came round last night at 10pm with a Bluebook on the way to the airport to pick up her dad(!) and tomorrow I convocate and Monday I pack some of my stuff, and give the rest of it to the Salvation Army, and I am trying to see everyone I want to see everyone I want to see before I leave as well, oh lord. If I manage all of this, I get on a bus to NYC on Monday evening, am there till the following weekend, and then I leave these springlike shores.

Fairly obviously, I haven't seen today's Doctor Who or last week's Doctor Who (and, let's face it, probably not next week's). All in good time.

kthxbye! See y'all on the long deep oceanic flipside.
