Dear CBC Daybreak,
Please do not call my home at 7:15am looking for other McGill professors. They do not live here. Most professors have their own homes and do not reside in communes. Also, we are/were asleep.
Thank you.

I just returned the copyedits for MP3: The Meaning of a Format to Duke. That was a ton of work for my RAs and I. I have no idea how I would have done it without them, given the intensity of the last month. Thanks to their help I was able to do some last-minute rewriting and prettifying, and hopefully the text will be nice and shiny going into page proofs. I also added an epigraph from Lewis Mumford (he’s perfect for all occasions, like a good white wine), which I allowed myself since none of the chapters have epigraphs.
Next up, putting The Sound Studies Reader to bed. Oh yes, and grading. And an end-of-term potluck for students.
