up too early...

[rivendellrose]

Am up too early this morning. Going to work early so that I can go see Richard Dawkins speak at my lovely alma mater this evening.

Hoping for no falling asleep at work, no stupid protesters at speech, and, perhaps most importantly, for him not to make one of his occasional blindingly awkward statements that make me go "oh, dear, I do like you, but could you maybe stick to things you know, or at least not phrase things you don't know quite so stridently?" Every now and then, as an anthropologist, he does hurt my head a bit.

Aaaanyway. Must go catch bus. *Shuffles*

Have fun!

And don't let him abuse any poor Ninja Turtles for me! ;)

Thank you! No Turtle abuse - he did get a very cute little stuffed Husky (our mascot) from the group running the event, though. :D

Dammit, I forgot to bring my book with me. He's stopping by Amazon to give a talk, too!

I'm jealous - your group was probably a little smaller than ours. But we got good seats. And I picked up the new book from the bookstore beforehand.

I would really like to read one of his books, maybe you would loan me one?
Have fun tonight.

Sure! I've got the new one, and so far it's really good - I can pass that one on to you when I'm finished. :) (Oh, and I can return The Enchantment Emporium to you, too - I finally found it a while ago and read it. It was very good!)
