It’s been over a month since I posted, mostly because work has been extremely hectic in the last month. At some point last year my old department chair took a job in a wonderful European country and I ended up taking over his post. (One of my college advisors called it “the curse of competency, and, well, just being in one place too long.) Couple that with teaching slightly beyond normal load and having a total of four preps—we had a very welcome increase in enrollment as well as an additional elective this year, both wonderful things that necessitated more staffing—I’ve been mostly swept over by work. Not only did I not update my blog but I haven’t really read most of my RSS feeds in a month. So I’m behind on random recipes and stuff as well. I’m getting back on track, though; I’m actually caught up on grading with 60% of my classes! The other 40% I’ll deal with tomorrow.

I actually have five drafts of almost-finished blog posts that I had to stop writing in favor of sleep. At some point I’ll finish and post them. In the meantime I’m going to be listening to my college roommates’ exceptionally popular podcast (so famous people are writing homoerotic slashfic about them; esp. hilarious since I lived with them) and deal with placement issues. Also, eating toast with bacon jam. Mmm bacon jam.
