If you are looking for a good reason to celebrate tonight, look no further: Stewie is out of the nursery!! (and, yes, there was much rejoicing.) I don't want to take up to much room with this but I do want to introduce myself. I am first and foremost a lazy scenester (I'm not proud) and I fund this lifestyle by teaching intro courses at a university in Ohio. I signed up for this list so I could make good use of the hours I spend sitting in my office in case any of my students decide they want to chit chat. I also read and write papers with ridiculous titles like "Processes of Embodiment and Spatialization in the Writings of Paul Auster." Furthermore, I want to praise the idea of the nursery. I have been on too many lists that have no such feature and the list members suffer greatly from it. My mandatory lurking time really did its job and gave me a great opportunity to see exactly what goes on here but it left me with a burning question: why does everyone have a runny nose? At first I thought it was just a weather thing but now that I have been allowed to post, I find that my nose is suddenly runny as well. Honey, what gives? Well, all this non-sense is unfortunately a decent enough introduction for myself. I hope my message finds everyone well - if a bit stopped up - and I am looking forward to Sinister filling my dreary office hours with ... uh ... well, all its sinister goodness.
