Today’s high of 95 made it quite clear that I wasn’t in the Great White North anymore. Which, my own enormous wonderful bed aside, was not altogether a good thing. I spent most of today sorting through the developing crises surrounding weekend after next’s [Media Studies conference](/what_is_media_studies/). All appears to be under control, but only after a full ten hours of non-stop palpitations and breathless sweating of details. If I ever mention that I’m organizing another conference, would someone… send me a really stern e-mail, or something. The bottom line of all this racing-heart business is, alas, that I’ve done, seen, read, thought, said, or experienced absolutely Nothing interesting enough to bother writing here today. Either that, or I haven’t been able to sit still long enough to get interested in any of same. Here’s hoping for more, better, soon.
