I'm dying for the weekend to arrive. I took a wonderful mini-break last weekend and went out of town to hear a professional symphony performance and see a concert, but playing catch-up with my classes and grading has been hell.
Does anyone else find the fact that it's already October a bit staggering? Yikes.

Only two things in life are infinite, the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former.
-Albert Einstein
I for one would rather regret the reality than its phantasm, knowledge than hope, the deed than the hesitation, true life and not mere sickly potentialities.
-A.S. Byatt, Possession
If it were possible to scrap the whole of existing literature, all writers would find themselves inevitably producing something very close to science fiction... No other form of fiction has the vocabulary of ideas and images to deal with the present, let alone the future.
--JG Ballard
