Stuff I've Been Up To
So, it turns out that my computer which wouldn't show anything on the screen had absolutely nothing wrong with it. *sigh* Time for a reformat, I guess.
Other things I have been up to these past couple of days:
- Press Release for the Regenstrief Institute integration which finally went live the other week. Basically, paramedics can pull an abstract of a medical record from a network shared between 27 hospitals in Indianapolis. It's about as cool as it sounds.
- Researching fashion theory for my research paper. My god! How do people do this! I can barely get six to eight sources straight in my research papers, but now I have fifteen books on my table and still not sure how to put together ideas from all of them!
- I inherited a plastic toy gun from Elie when he moved. I plan on doing something to it.
- I also finished reading Secret Identities: The Asian American Superhero Anthology, within 24 hours of receiving it from Outside the Lines. I posted the previews if you're interested. Worth every penny. I cried about three times. Maybe more. There are even girl superheroes, for chrissakes, who give the good fight without needing a horrible history to drive them. They took the stereotypes and really played with them. I may not like how American-centric it is (still hoping to get some issues of The 99 which has a more international slant), but seeing people who look like me, on every page, in every panel, doing superhuman things, being superheroes - it gave me joy.
- I have also gotten With Her In Ourland! Yes, Gilman's sequel to Herland. It was pricey, since it's Print On Demand, but I'm very pleased. I haven't read it yet, saving it for when I have more time, but if anybody wants to borrow, let me know!
Anyways, back to work!
