The weekend is approaching, and shockingly, I don't want to do any more work...

My meeting at Columbia regarding this project went well, though it did make clear that I have A LOT of work to do ... I spoke with Rebecca and she said that Podcast 1 can be as academic as I'd like it to be (vampire-land, here I come) but that the Podcast 2 should be very nuts and bolts and not just for "English professors" -- although thinking about the average English professor's acquaintance with technology is not a bad starting point to work towards. She also said that I can/will/should be thinking of an additional, third piece of this project -- the conference presentation/paper on this research, but that's a little too much for me to handle now.

The Cubs just totally beat the Sox! Yay!

While at Columbia the other day, I acquired Auerbach's "Our Vampires, Ourselves," as well as an old school vampire bibliography (published 1983 -- quite a find really), and a "The Female Thermometer: 18th Century Female Culture and the Invention of the Uncanny."

I fucking love my job.
