Cobwebs

I'd like to be posting more--and more substantial--things, but the real world is pressing more and more uncomfortably upon me. The next two weeks will see a ratcheting up of activity that makes me anxious for the cause of my comps, but there's nothing to be done. Teacher camp is next week. A series of meetings with new students, faculty, and related planning happens next week. And then my parents descend right as the semester begins. 

In all of this I was reading Dana Phillips and Glen Love, and I'm delighted by their engagement with science and literature. For a fun primer on the controversies and who says what about whom, you should go read up on the Sokal Hoax if you haven't already .

Also, judging by the lack of response to Wendy's name--and recognizing that there are only two readers out there (hello, Jenny!)--I'm going to announce that we're going with the "Wendelynne" spelling. We think it looks and sounds good. There are no pictures of that spelling, so you're seeing it first here.

But there are pictures of Cthulhu plushies. I'm ordering one for her tomorrow. And a stuffed Meeple. D can't be the only source of fun stuff. And maybe a D20 plushie, too. The girl's got to get her geek on.

Cthulu plushies are always a good thing, mentioned a lot in blogs at the minute too

I approve. And recall incredible amounts of time spent on our names. My new Rule #1: Do not ask anyone else's opinion--esp family.
