I'm mostly fine, really - strangely elated, some of the time, actually, while at the same time (although that should seem impossible) kind of desperate. But, in the balance, I think I'm fine. Mindficcing like crazy, sleeping at insane times, and about to start on the real thesis writing phase (probably about a week from now, after I'm back from my trip to Britain). Not that I have any clear idea what to write about, but my advisor is confident I'll figure it out as I go. If only *I* had that kind of confidence...
The mindficcing is good for relaxation, but sometimes gives me writing urges that I then have to strangle, which is a bit frustrating.
Re: Farscape: have you reached the epic angst yet? It slowly and innoccuously starts to creep in near the middle of season one, gets more pronounced in the last quarter (or so) of the season, and grows to full force in the final four eps of the season. After which it's the All Angst, All the Time show. Though again, you have to wait a bit for the full-on *insanity* to set in (which happens around the middle of season two).
Remember to drop me a note if work should send you to Frankfurt again! I'm insanely busy myself, and will remain so for the next eleven months, mostly, but I'm sure I could spare a couple of hours to have lunch/dinner/a cup of tea with you. :-)
