some self-noticing
two days ago the desktop went from 62 items to 6 items. Antidesktop got an even thorougher cleanup - from 300-something to zero. Who needs an antidesktop!
i confess i'm borderline stuck. which is why 17tPP isn't preparing as swimmingly as it could be. here! an escape! a midnight barefooted staggering walk around the block!

The Prince Myshkins / Nonsense Company were just here. That was wonderful, although rushed. I really surprised myself at my inability to publicize, or maybe the Rice community surprised me with its ability to be extremely busy. Which I should have expected.
