Bits and Bobs

I finally heard back form my adviser earlier this week. Now aiming for thesis defense in late September.

Went to the farmers market yesterday start to see the 1st signs of Autumn. There are still lots of peaches and tomatoes, but also the 1st apples and winter squash.

R is away at GenCon for the weekend, and tons of folks I'd love to see are at WorldCon. Feeling a bit lonely, at least I have lots kitty snuggles form Ruby. Though she is making a bit harder to get stuff done. She likes to hang out with me while I work -- but sometimes goes after my hands when I type, or walks on the key board. Even if she's doing something else it can be distracting -- specifically when she knocks books off the shelf.

That sounds rather lovely, if it didn't also include the stress of the defense. I hope it's all going well.

Was there something particular about the Hugo ceremony that touched you?

[forestofglory]

I was squeeing for most of the broadcast. I enjoyed all the speeches.

The acceptance speeches?

I think a friend of mine was supposed to be part of the ceremony, but I haven't quite sorted it all out.
