School starts up again next week. I'm probably not as prepared as I should be, but I've still got time (the first week starts on Tuesday, so I'm only teaching once--on Wednesday--and that's just the intro/calculus review, which I'm prepared for). My first actual lecture won't be until the week after next. Meh.

Been doing some work on my current novel project--which has been under way for about a year and a half now, although most of that was research broken up by school. I'm happy with the way things are currently going--style wise--and we'll see what the future brings. I think I'm actually going to get a chance to write during the semester this time, but we'll see....

C.O.R.P.S.E. did another training session at the ruins across from the SB Mission last weekend. The site is not active--at least from a 'legend of haunting' perspective--but it was the only site in SB that we could come up with to get all the trainees out to that was open to the public. Of course, we didn't get anything--and this time there was no grave desecration et al.--but it was fun nonetheless.

I just finished reading House of Leaves by Danielewski. Frickin' amazing. Just frickin' amazing. Prior to that, I'd read Pelevin's Buddha's Little Finger which was also amazing, although in a completely different way. I'm currently working through Beckett's Malloy. I'm still on the second paragraph, somewhere around page thirty-five.
