Ordinary Life is Still Pretty Complicated Stuff

I ran in another mate today who asked me for the same advice that the other mate had asked me for a week ago. Who suddenly made me the family planning guru? I'm waiting for the third.

Finally caught up with NW but we couldn't exactly talk.

"You know who it's about, I guess. There's a problem which I can't talk about and we haven't had this talk. Do you get it?"

Yep, that's about it.

CFP: SF and the Canon

An intriguingly positioned set of speakers.

SF and the Canon

Proposals for 20 minute papers are sought for a one day conference to take place at Anglia Ruskin University on Saturday 24 March 2007. The conference seeks to explore interfaces between the genre of science fiction (often studied in isolation or not at all) and more traditional, canonical literatures and discourses. There will be panels on SF and the classical tradition, SF and Shakespeare and SF and the Victorians. Confirmed speakers include Michael Bywater, Joss Hands, Tony Keen, Genevieve Liveley, Nick Lowe, Katy Price, Jonathan Sawday, Peter Stockwell and Rowlie Wymer. Please send proposals (approx. 300 words) to Professor Sarah Annes Brown, Department of English, Communication, Film and Media, Anglia Ruskin University, East Road, Cambridge, CB1 1PT. (sarah.brown@anglia.ac.uk).
