sanet-Sept. 13: I find out that yes, I am presenting at the Schoolgirls and Mobilesuits conference on Sept. 25. I writewritewrite, Greyhound down to Minneapolis, and have a wonderful time hanging out with old and new anime aca/fan friends like ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

-Sept. 25: I find out that I'm invited to attend the symposium on Borderlessness and Youth Culture in Modern Japan(Oct. 15-16), where my host advisor from Japan will be presenting. I email the organizer to get set up for that. This means a visit witheacherown, yay!
-Sept. 29: I find out that there is a job posting in my field at a good Canadian university, and yes, I am a viable candidate who should apply post-haste. Deadline: Oct. 15. First application for an academic position, here I come.
-And finally, all my books from Japan have arrived, so I can start reading them for that little thing called my thesis. Which I WILL finish before Christmas in rough draft, so help me Dog.
This is all an elaborate way of saying that I have no reviews to post this week and no time to clean up anything from my field notes. I'm watching a little anime (at least, I rented Hoshi no Koe), and reading for pleasure at mealtimes (Larissa Lai's new volume of cyberfeminist poetry, Automaton Biographies), and writing fiction til the early hours of the morning (the less said the better), but damned if I also have the time to do the metawork of reviews and blogging about them.
How do you blog, you blogging people? Where do you get the energy to do so much and then post about it? It's not even noon and I'm already tired!
