ha ha ha, or maybe ho, ho ho

So I had this idea that now that I am back to working part time, I would be able to get back online more. I would update here! Maybe I would do some memes! Maybe I would even write something! What I forgot was that the nature of part-time academic work is that you are in fact doing almost all the work in only half the time (because of childcare) for roughly a quarter of the pay. So what has actually happened is that since starting work, I haven't updated at all. I often don't check my personal email now for whole days. I owe people mail like you wouldn't believe.

Of course as I type this, (while Spartacus naps) I really should be writing a lecture instead.

Needless to say, I will not be doing yuletide this year. Although that may be for the best, because I keep hearing rumors about how Yuletide has been taken over by the crazy this year. That seems so bizarre to me -- I mean, yes, of course it drives everybody crazy, but not usually in the anonymous flaming and trolling kind of way.

In other news, I will probably watch Spooks, although this week I had to dodge in and out of the room ( spoilers )

At this point, I am kind of hoping I remember how to code for LJ, to avoid spoiling everyone in the world.

In other TV news, regarding Strictly, my hatred for Craig Kelly cannot be textually rendered. And although I have no idea who is voting for Anton and Laila, I'm glad that they are.

Anyway, Spartacus will be waking up any minute now, so I think I will go ahead and hit post!
