Think of this as an Appetizer Post

So, today is the last day of the Public Memories conference in Syracuse. It has been enlightening and interdiciplinary and conversational and delicious-martini-ful. And today I am taking the Greyhound to NYC with dear E; we were going to take the train, but the scheduling did not work out, so now we are hoi polloi-ing it back home, bitches.

When get home, I will post something more substantial about the things I got to see and hear. Right now, though, here are a few tantalizing tidbits:
1) New Crush! = Yummy Cultural Interventionist
2) Rejuevenated Crush! = Cara Finnegan continues to rock star her way through life.
3) Crush Maintained! = My dearest E--awesome as she ever was.
4) People who say that they have never been below the Mason-Dixon line are not my favorite.
5) Gumball machines are cool.
6) My love affair with Jean Baudrillard may be turning me into a disillusioned douchebag. And I'm kind of okay with that.

Happy Easter, ya'll

Since it is too cold in NY to actually wear new Easter shoes, I am playing online and listening to Pilate's Dream.

70's rock operas about zombified religious icons = Always Awesome (although, now that I think about it, there isn't really a zombie bit in JCS, which is why so many people got so pissed about it, I think. Well, that and all the dirty dirty with good old Mary Magdalene. Man, I love her.)

And here is a little Easter thought for you
