Too many fandoms, too little time

After my year spent away from totally-mad!fandom activity (1/2 year depressed and dealing with job stress, the other 1/2 year spent sedated and medicated), the whole madness seems to have caught back up with me with a vengeance.

I barely know where to look and what to do! Of an evening, do I:

Catch up on my SGA series 4 viewing?

Revise Ichor, the wraithfic from heaven?

Read scanlations of hot porny manga action?

Post and comment and surf on t'LJ??

Write Desert Prince?

Write orig?

Watch one of the three Bollywood DVDs borrowed from t'reference library?

Play The Sims?

Visit Second Life?

Spend trashy TV time with t'family???

See what I mean? When medicated, I was very into Second Life and The Sims but these have now totally been relegated to the backburner.

Not to mention, people sidetracking me with pics of Panic at the Disco or links to hot John Barrowman bum and kissing action.

Things are hotting up.

T'h has been courted by Stanford University in California, United States of America, for quite some time now but yesterday things got serious and serious emails got exchanged and we are actually now in the position to decide.

And, of course, we can't. Because, as t'younger son says, 'this is too big!'

Before I weigh in with my pros, cons and irrationalities, what does anyone on my flist who lives in California or has other experience of California or has some strong prejudices either for or against, think??

Because this is a really, really hard one.

For them as don't already know: I live in England currently, in a venerable university town, and have lived here since 1991. But I'm German. :-)

P.S. I have also lost all interest in matters academic, career-wise, for the moment, so I'm immune to the siren call of STANFORD OOH. Hm, it occurs to me I may not even have posted on my mental holiday from academe but that's OT!
