What has been happening

April 24, 2008 by Gavan Leave a Comment

OK, let me do a quick re-cap. Last week? Boston for the AAG. Week before that? Austin for Leesa’s project. Up next? Two weeks at Rondeau Provincial Park, collecting data for my dissertation.

I would have liked a bit more time between Boston and Rondeau, but no dice. So I’ve been spending this week getting prepared for next, editing book reviews for the CJEE and getting ready for my next gig. It’s been–and will continue to be–a busy spring. I’ll be back in Toronto May 11th for three night before I’m off to direct the Camp Arowhon Outdoor Centre. Ollie gets to come with me to camp, so that should be fun (and Heather gets a break looking after the dog).

OK, back to work–tonight’s task? Clean the desk so I can find my “research in provincial parks” permission form. Whoops!

Being in my thirties

February 19, 2008 by Gavan Leave a Comment

I was reading about this guy’s “biggest Star Wars Collection in the galaxy” when I came across this gem in the Q&A:

  • JD: What’s the oldest [Star Wars toy in your collection]?
    RF: The oldest ones are the first series of vintage toys that came out with the movie in 1977.

Flashing across my brain: “I played with the original Star Wars toys. Am I considered vintage now?”
