strange_selkie and darthrami to thank many times over for the actual print copies of the January 15th—21st issue of the Washington Post's Book World that they shipped to me, such that I was able to show off the review of Singing Innocence and Experience to my advisor, who happened to be waiting in the same line at the pharmacist's: that was simultaneously random and cool. The fact that this review was out there on newsstands for anyone to see really does blow my mind. I've acclimated my brain to the idea that people whom I do not know personally will read my stories. But that people who've never heard of me might find out through the Washington Post? I've got think about this one for a little.
Immense archaeological coolness continues to happen ingreyselke's neck of the desert. If I were a member of a team that had discovered a statue of Queen Ti, I'd be grinning, too.
Does anyone other thanfleurdelis28 want me to write about snails?

no subject
and the concept of ablaut ("those scary little noises in the night," as my advisor calls the effect;
groan. Rede nicht zu mir über Ablauten und Vokalveränderung--es erinnert mich an meine kommende Mittelhochdeutschklausur. (Nicht, daß es wichtig ist, ob ich durchfalle, aber ich soll trotzdem lernen...)
OK, I should also stop showing off.
