Can you imagine what it would be like if Kenny G was literally your neighbour? Cripes! Can you imagine making small talk with him? "Uhh. Hey there, Kenny. I heard you playing last night." "Actually . . . that was my four year old nephew. I'm teaching him to play." Awkward silence. "Well. Isn't the little prodigy just learning in leaps and bounds?"
But congrats on the err . . . important-sounding thingy. I agree with Tom - elucidate please.
I think Tom's ribbing my over use of the word "annual." Yup, I am redundant.
I submitted a proposal to present a 20 minute lecture on part of one of my dissertation chapters at this bog conference at the end of May. I was just accepted. The lecture will (likely) be on David Lean's Oliver Twist and post-war anxieties about children.
The first part was ribbing, the second part was genuine. Who are the Film Studies Association of Canada, why are they important... on a scale of 'so' to 'ridiculously', how awesome are you, etc...
Tom: FSAC is like a big club of film profs. You have to pay to be a member and they keep you posted on job positions at universities, stuff like that. Professional associations are a big deal in academia. Anyone can join, but its mostly about having a forum to exchange ideas (or stroke egos).

Oooo!!!
congrats!
do they complain about the noise because you were jumping around and yelling when you found out the news?
Actually, I'm the neighbour complaining. Someone around me is playing crappy music (I'm at work) and it's annoying me.
Seriosuly, did Kenny G move in here?
Maybe they want you to join the Department of Redundancy Dept.
I don't know what this means! It sounds really good?? Please enlighten this uneducated troglodyte...

Sweet... I'm marking that down as a 'stupidly', which if you don't know ranks even higher than 'ridiculously'
