I finished my conference paper on Taboo Collections this evening, and it’s actually shaped up a lot and took an hour less time than I had allotted for the final drafting.  So I spent the rest of the time reading bits of Dolls, which I haven’t looked at since sending the polished draft to bluechrome […]
