the wheeling signs and the new year

Ξ Tuesday, 03 Jan 2012 at 02:00 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Normal |

    It’s still cold here. Not as cold as it’s been, but definitely cold. It’s my last week here in Eugene, and I’m enjoying it to the fullest — hanging out with family, friends, and catching up on pleasure reading. I’ve not gotten as much work done as I would have liked for school, and the textbooks I brought have been largely untouched, but that’s about par for the course. Oh, and the Ducks won their first fucking Rose Bowl in the course of my whole life (try in 95 years, since 1917!!!). GO DUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (more…)

 

oneiric malaise

    It’s been a nice time in Oregon with the family thus far. We had a good [s/Christ/gift/ig]mas, of course, seeing family and all, and it’s been fun to see friends and everyone else. I’m loving the generally gloomy weather, and perhaps I’ll post some pics at some point. I’ve hung out with Claude and Anna a lot as usual, and seen Vanessa, who is absolutely lovely as always! Still more people to see, though. (more…)

    hi everyone. it’s been (ut solet) a long time since I last wrote. I’ve had a busy, busy, hectic, crazy semester. Not always crazy, but crazy enough that I’ve not always found the time (or desire) to write. I’m essentially ABD after this semester, although my prospectus for the dissertation is what I’m working on next semester (defence ~13 March or so). Stress off yet stress on. Old worries have died and been replaced with others of a different kind. So it goes. Most of that’s under the rug until early January. (more…)

    Gods, it’s been a long fucking time since I last wrote here. No particular reason except that life got in the way, as it is wont to do. This summer was a blur of dates, meeting new people and others falling by the wayside, and a lot of nothingness. I’ve been busy with school since it started in August, of course, but not as busy as I’d like to (or should) be. It’s been pretty insane. I also haven’t been in the mood for writing very often, or as contemplative as usual; the words have stayed inside for the most part. (more…)

    I’m dreaming of the Black Lodge, those fluttering red curtains, and the heart of the forest. I’ve done a whole lot of nothing throughout the past few weeks, but seen friends and been enjoying summer, as well as soaking up loads of new, lovely, wonderful music. I’m off to Oregon in 5 days from now; it’s kind of hard to believe, really, that the time has passed so goddamn quickly. (more…)

 

ennui of summer

Ξ Thursday, 09 Jun 2011 at 23:29 | → 0 Comments | ∇ Normal |

    I know I’ve not written in a long while. Life has been pretty crazy lately. This year has been vastly different than any year before, mostly because of the new people who have come into (and gone out of) my life. School kept me fairly busy overall, and it still is; my class I’m teaching ends next Friday, which will be a welcome end, even though I’ve enjoyed teaching. The class hasn’t taken too much of my time, but getting up early has been annoying. I know there are far worse things, though, than an early morning wakeup, and I’m thankful to have a job, at least for the first part of the summer. (more…)

  • about me

        These days my entries have been more fractured and less focused. Such is life. I do what I can to give a glimpse into my life, a snapshot if possible. I hope you enjoy it nonetheless.

        talk to me if you'd like to know something about me, or keep reading. I'm still a poor grad student and working on my PhD. I don't really know whether this will become a book anymore, but it's not wholly improbable.
