Commence teh brooding!

Update on what I've been doing these last few absent months soon, but first...

This just in from the New York Times: Some of Franz Kafka's papers may be available for study in the near-ish future.

Reaction from the NYT Kim Department: OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG ME POOPS THERE MIGHT BE LONG-HIDDEN KAFKA BOOTY IN SOME OLD WOMAN'S APARTMENT AND SHE MIGHT GIVE IT UP OMGOMGOMGOMGOMG.

A little background: Kafka was a major area of focus for me in college, and is a figure very near and dear to my heart. I don't pretend to have some unique, deep, brooding understanding of his work (okay, maybe except for Brief and den Vater, or Letter to My/His/The Father, but who wouldn't?). The idea of more of his personal papers becoming available for study really does make my Hopkins-hardened heart beat a little faster and warmer.

You can file this under "things that make Kim twitch in her brainhole, in the good way."
