I need to get a new photo taken, because the one at the foot of this page (and which serves as my bio photo over at geoffreylong.com<\/a>) is woefully out of date. I have once again grown in my winter beard, my hair is getting longish again, I am well and truly enrolled at MIT now, and I am presently dating a wonderful woman (who is, alas, still in Chicago) named Caitlin who is an award-winning playwright, a librarian, a masseuse, and skilled in the use of Sharp Pointy Things. She kicks much ass. I have not yet mentioned her in these pages because I’ve been trying to keep her all to myself, but Monday afternoon, when putting her on a plane back to Chicago, I made the somewhat foolish mistake of asking, “Does it bother you that I haven’t yet mentioned you in my weblog?” To which she replied, “You have a weblog?” Oops. So, consider her mentioned.
\nOther things. I made a little progress today on my novel. Not a lot, only a few pages, but I still consider that a breakthrough, since there hasn’t been much happening on that front in a while. I think I’m finally entering the endgame on this first draft; at the very least, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel without a telescope now.
\nI need to head to bed now; it’s 12:43 AM and I’m going to be spending pretty much all day tomorrow on campus watching a series of dog-and-pony shows put on by the profs at the Media Lab, explaining what they’re up to and what directions their works are taking. I’m very<\/i> much looking forward to this. It’s like Christmas for media geeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
