Having a paper accepted with revisions on the first submission is reason to celebrate, yeah? Reviewer 2’s (and 3’s, I’m the scholarly equivalent of a hatstall!) comments can wait until next week…

Me, writing my comps about cosplay: I’m almost out of space and I haven’t even mentioned Butler on performance or Bakhtin’s carnivalesque!
Also me: REMEMBER YOUR SCOPE. FINISH THIS CHAPTER.
I attended my first dissertation defense yesterday. I came home and told W. that we’ll be doing theater warm-ups before mine.
I organized my closet and now I’m too tired to cook dinner. This is peak Kimberly.
Trying on a new epithet: librariacafan.
Still drafting the first chapter, but it has a cover and a summary…
The Watchers Council had made certain promises. First, that Rupert Giles would have no trouble getting his cover job as the new school librarian at Sunnydale High School. Second, that this role would require minimal actual librarianing, which was a good thing, as he had been rather distracted during his library studies coursework what with all the simultaneous advanced Watcher training. And third, that he would not have to deal with teenagers other than the Slayer herself.
The Watchers Council had lied.
Miserable human beings who you wouldn’t want to spend a second with in real life are capable of making something great that is beautiful or useful to you.
Making a note to myself to come back to this Austin Kleon blog post and write about it in relationship to connected parenting.
I’ve fallen down an internet rabbit hole! My current work = reading about cosplay. Cosplay is part of fandom, and I feel disconnected from fandom so I started listening to Fansplaining to get me back in touch, and that took me to Wattpad, and then I started reading a Wattpad blog post that linked to Fanlore (which I already knew about but have never explored in-depth) and now I guess I’m going to just die of starvation while reading all of Fanlore? But also, please stay tuned for details about my upcoming fic, Rupert Giles, Actual School Librarian.
