well, i mean, literally-figuratively. it's not spinning like that crazy poltergeist girl's head, but it's spinning inside. such that reading makes me feel like badness. which sucks, since that's sort of my job.
too much crazy stuff going on the last few days. i've got a big presentation coming up on wednesday, and then a pretty solid wall-to-wall, hour-to-hour packed schedule for the next week after that...and then when i "finish" on thursday morning, i'm driving to san francisco to present at C's.
even though i'm going to be working for all of spring break, i still can't wait for it. that doesn't make any sense, but i find myself caring only a little.
i convened with our impromptu MLA panel on friday, but we decided to direct our efforts elsewhere when it became clear that we were a bit late on submitting panel proposals. also, when it became clear that the '09 conference was on december 27th in philadelphia, aka the armpit of the colonies. next year's is in january instead (thus giving me a chance to sleep off xmas before having to travel cross-country and be smart), and it's in LA. i don't like LA all that much, but it's closer and potentially more interesting than philly. so. MLA proposal next year. let's hope that MLA gets less pretentious and their application process and the related vernacular get less byzantine. i could also hope that i sprout wings and learn to throw lightning bolts, but whatever.
so we're applying to digra instead. it's a conference about video games...and it's in london. if we do in fact get accepted, i will essentially get to fly to london for a weekend for free and talk to people about video games. i love my job.
but right now i'm going to go home, keep my head completely still, and try not to vomit.
