A quiet day of laundry and tea, before classes start tomorrow. Friday was "Faculty Orientation." It seemed to me there was a good deal of "flavor of the month educational schemes" flying around, but then I'm fairly old-school about teaching. I came home exhausted, ravenous, and with a splitting headache... to find in my in-box THE BETA-TEST FOR DIABLO III!!! Whoo-hoo!
NOT something that's adviseable for the first week of classes.
But, there's NOTHING like a good dungeon-crawl.
Add to this the difficulties of First Draft ("Oh my God! I've forgotten how to write!") (Actually, ALL my first drafts are this bad...). I'm coming up on the first big Town Ball game (since the story involves the early stages of what was called town ball or base ball), so I guess I'll be trolling around YouTube looking to see if anyone has actually filmed a re-creation of the sport - which sounds like baseball played with cricket equipment and cricket-style underhand pitching.
In between getting my notes in order.
