covarla | Life, Communities, and Research (Reply)

So, my search for permanent employment continues. Have now had three job interviews... The last one was this morning at People Inc with people I worked with before, so I'm hoping I have somewhat of a better chance at getting that job. Will see. Forgot to ask when I should expect to hear back about the job... Oh well. It's been nice having some time off, as the last time I think I had more than a weekend off was maybe last summer, but I'm ready to do something again and would very much like a paycheck...

Still plugging along on the website I've been renovating. Should have it done in another few weeks, I hope.

I've also been slowly poking at my dissertation research. In an effort to digitize and collect my notes, thoughts, etc, I've revamped and renamed the old covarlaabroad community I had into From the Ether: On Fandom and Anthropology. The community is set up on both Livejournal From the Ether and Dreamwidth

fromtheether. My intention is to post field notes, papers, book reviews, links of interest, and general thoughts/discussion as I work my way through my dissertation. Hopefully blogging about it will help me to get into a routine of doing something with my research every few days... One can hope.

Started dating again. Actually been on a couple dates with a guy named Bill (not the one most of you know) for the last two weeks. Went to the Allentown Art Festival for the first time with him on Sunday. There were a lot of nice displays there, though I could have done without the crowd.
