Lent 2022

 I'm not Catholic, which means I don't have to give up anything for Lent. But I do have a budget to stick to (and a waistline to mind), so for the month of March I am giving up the following:

• cakes (Tous Les Jours, 85ºC Bakery)
• chocolates (See's, Lindt LINDOR)
• cookies (Girl Scouts, Hapa)
• cupcakes (Hapa, Patty's)
• donuts (Donut Star, Dunkin')
• ice cream (Baskin-Robbins, Rich Farm)
• Katsubos (apparently this is a thing of its own)

I like how tempting things start with the letter C... like crepes. Or coconuts. Or crack cocaine.

I jest.

Call for Special Sessions: PAMLA 2022 Conference

Apparently it tires my brain so much to come up with post ideas, that I'm resorting to publicizing conference CFPs on my blog...

Regardless, here is a call for Special Session Proposals for the 2022 Conference of PAMLA, the Pacific Ancient and Modern Language Association! The conference will take place at UCLA, November 11–13 (in person).
