Conferences!

Good God, am I going to be busy this semester! I'm going to be out of town for:

• The Midsouth philosophy conference, giving my dream paper, Feb. 18-19
• The Princeton-Rutgers graduate philosophy conference, giving my fictionalism paper, Feb. 26-27
• The Rice Light Opera Society Patience, performing Bunthorne, Mar. 17-19 and Mar. 24-26.
• The Association for the Study of Dreams conference, giving (a version of) my dream paper, June 24-28.

Yikes! I also have this idea for a paper I'm considering submitting to the UT-Austin grad conference on possible worlds -- an anti-Lewis discussion of 'true in the fiction'. Submissions are due the middle of next month -- I have until then to decide whether I think I'll be too burnt out to try for another conference in April. I'm also auditioning for the MIT Gilbert & Sullivan Players' Yeomen next week. I think I'm insane. Overlap is starting to be an issue, too; I had to decline an invitation to present on dreams at Harvard/MIT, because it's the same time as that Patience. Darn, I was really hoping to get to go to that one, too. Oh yeah, I'm also taking three courses, and TAing for another.
