Very Brief

The home internet has been exceedingly flaky this week so I'm checking in from work. The Buffy class went well and I'm quite hopeful for the semester.
Am currently reading Partners in Wonder: Women and the Birth of Science Fiction 1926-1965 which is an excellent history, easy to read, but with irritating citations. I keep coming across things I want to read and then have to play citation detective--a problem in the SFS field is that there have been lots of journals that come and go but use the same name!! There were like five Science Fiction Reviews over a thirty year period in two countries, and if it is cited, I have to play in multiple catalogs to figure out exactly which one I want!! Sigh.
Research.
Which reminds me, I officially joined the Science Fiction Research Association this week. Whee!
