I mean, I'm already traveling heavily this month, but you knew that already, right? Ah, but I got word today that I'll also be doing a bit of air travel this fall: my paper was accepted – along with its entire invited paper session – to the Big Giant Pseudology Conference for this year! Since I got in on this via an invitation from a kind and supportive senior colleague, I am mindful at this moment of how much academic careers can depend upon precisely these displays of professional and personal generosity.
In honor of my thoughtful colleague's invitation, please allow the Muppets to serenade you with a Beatles tune. I've always held a soft spot for this sketch: this was my first exposure to the song, even though my parents sometimes played Beatles records on the stereo in my early childhood. (Sgt. Pepper wasn't as big with them as later albums were.) Bonus points for the classic, if Orientalizing and anti-porcine pseudology-laced setting!

Congrats on the paper acceptance! Conferences are so fun. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's been a while that you've posted something musical on here, and I've always appreciated (if not always agreed) with your musical taste. So be it from the Muppets or anywhere else, keep 'em coming!
