Living in a Vacuum

I am officially living in a vacuum.

Walking around campus this week, I've heard nary a peep about the financial crisis. Not one word in my classes or corridors. What's the small talk before class? "Boy, that was some wind storm we had Sunday night!"

I was able to start a small conversation about it briefly with my 19th century opera class during our break, but our discourse quickly returned to the far more comfortable world of music. Pretty funny.

I am living in the twilight zone.
