When your computer won't wake up you either reenact this scene or you're disappointing your parents, your friends, and for sure the ghost of Gene.

Currently reading this excellent collection which I found, completely by chance, at The Old Book Barn near Decatur, Illinois. And as I read this and realize how great it is, I am struck once again by how badly the construct of scholarship operates in modern times. Searches are flawed 1/*

That moment when you find a quote from 1988 that directly backs up the approach of your research in 2025 the peer reviewer nailed you on because you were "all over the place" historically. (Yes, yes it will be much improved because of their feedback and I'm grateful...but also still salty)
