Partied Out

We threw a great fundraiser for Kalamazoo Pride last night at Metro. It was a date auction. We raised a good sum of money, everyone had a good time: it was a success.

That said, I am totally wiped out today. I am just lying in bed, watching The Matrix, and I am done for the weekend. Which is not to say that I won’t be working on my papers and presentations for the end of the semester.

This week has been really full, otherwise. Dr. Bruce Lincoln from the University of Chicago gave a talk here on Wednesday night. I skipped the Kalamazoo Pride meeting so that I could go out to dinner with him and some of the religion faculty and graduate students. It was an excellent time. I really love being part of the academic world because everyone is on the same level. Sure, there are some academics out there who are terribly competitive, snooty, and mean-spirited, but the vast majority of those that I have come into contact with are brilliant, manganimous people. I think, though, that this might be the result of being in a religion department. Apparently, religion scholars are a little odd. Go figure that I would end up with the odd folks.

But, then, if being odd means that you are approachable, amiable, and you make good company, sign-me up. For now, I am off to a long nap. Today is going to be excellent.
