post-conference life reboots

Robarts Library, Toronto, Canada (Photo credit: Wikipedia) - and I have not set foot in it this trip...

Back from the CAC, and spent the day editing my notes, adding scans of the handouts to my notes, and generally allowing perfectionism to get in the way of productivity in every possible way.  I'm surprised I didn't decide that collating and typing up all the bibliographies everyone handed out at their papers was a useful and sensible way to spend my time. Somehow I managed to draw the line.  Looking forward to reading the paper on Cherrie Moraga's Medea, and wondering if I should try to go to a European conference or two; there is some very interesting research going on there lately and I feel quite cut off from it.

The idea was that I would spend a couple of days at Robarts Library before I head back to the coast, but in fact I'm not ready to do that yet; still tracking down the Homeric references in Oswald, which I plan to resume tomorrow.  Then to revise the paper I actually gave into the Ideal Perfect Conference Paper that exists in pure form only in my mind, and which I naturally had no time to produce before the conference; and then to figure out who to send it to for comments.  Ideally someone who can tell me whether I ought to pursue the project, or just accept that it was an interesting conference paper, now get back to my regularly-scheduled Euripides research.
