So’s I might stand a chance of not forgetting by next week, when I might actually have time to write again:
- Diss overwhelmedness, a la Bullet #2 in this post of Billie’s.
- The UMN caves. Which I’ve been meaning to write about for, no kidding, 3 years now.
- Fargo, specifically the Plains Art Museum and what it has to do with my Dad.
- The preponderance of Vikings in northwest Minnesota.
- Frustration with the U’s choice of wiki systems.
- Standing on Sinclair Lewis’ Main Street in Sauk Center, MN.
- The lecture on Digital Composition that I did last week for a grad seminar, and the related course I taught last Spring.
- Undoubtedly more photos. I’d love to be able to articulate what this shift toward photography has to do with my research and writing processes, but I’m not sure that’s possible just yet.

To close, one actual thing briefly stated in its entirety: If you’re the sort of person who picks up on other people’s moods and you’re in need of a boost, one of the best things you can do is make an airport run to drop off a friend who’s headed off to a long-distance rendezvous with a new love. I got a ton done after that, and I’m still happy for no good reason of my own.
