forestofgloryI've been meeting my word count goals of my thesis writing all week. This good. Admittedly I have mostly been stealing bit from other papers I wrote earlier in my grad school carrier. So if doesn't feel like that much of an achievement.
I got accidentally forwarded an e-mail invite to a party that I wasn't invited to yesterday. That really hurt. I thought the host liked me too.
My friend M and her boyfriend are coming to visit us. I'm very excited. Most people I know think Iowa is not exciting, so it is nice that someone wants to be here. Also I get see my friend which is excellent.
In other travel news I'm going to visit Seattle for few days this summer. I'm summer excited to get to meet my internet friend who live there. Plus I've heard good things about the food scene. I've love recommendations for things to do an places to eat while I'm there.
Students in the class I TA had a exam this week -- I now have pile of test to grade. Only 5 short answer questions, but it's still a bit pile.
I got all the Hugo nominated comics that are available from the library. So far I liked the 1st volume of Locke and Key, thought it is way more dark and creepy than what I generally read.
Also I just finished A Natural History of Dragons by Marie Brennan, which was excellent. It's about dragons and women in science and has great narrative voice. Recommended.
