I'm still as busy as usual. A couple of exciting developments:
:bulletblue: I had a meeting with Noam Chomsky today. He's a professor in my department, so I know him -- but this was my first official one-on-one meeting with him to talk about my research. It went very well and he wants to meet again in January, after I get back from visiting Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas and he gets back from Turkey and some other countries in Europe.
It was kind of funny ... I have a sinus infection; went to the doctor yesterday and got some antibiotics, but they haven't kicked in yet. I'm pretty miserable and can't really think straight with the press
