wall of static and distortion

    I’ve been sick for the first time in months, with a cold that’s left me feeling tired-out and gloomy throughout most of the week. I won my way through to Friday, though, and I’ve been recuperating since then — I think it’s almost gone. It’s been a long week, even though we had Monday off — I know, it seems strange to say that. Ah, January, how I love and hate you. (more…)

    welcome to 2010. I’m not going to call it Twenty-Ten or Two Thousand and Ten, but the way I’ve always pronounced it, Two Thousand Ten (like the movie 2010), so let’s get that out of the way right now. None of the other pronunciations, while perhaps more correct (at least Two Thousand and Ten) sound appealing to my ears. I’ll be 26 this year. This happens to be my eight hundredth entry, as well, a landmark that I told myself I’d celebrate in some small way. This is also going to be the seventh year I’ve been writing all of this. It’s been more sporadic of late, I know, but that’s because things have been rather busy, as they are always wont to become. (more…)

 

shortest day, longest night

    and we’ve passed through to the winter solstice, and nearly beyond. the week has started out without much fanfare. Two packages arrived from my family, one at least from my sister, and I hear there are more arriving later this week. I didn’t peek, surprisingly; Nicole assured me that both were presents. a long, aimless, lazy day today. somewhat cold but not too cold. I need to go to campus tomorrow and take care of a $5 library fine, unfortunately, as well as mail some packages at the post office — I think I may ride my bike to get some goddamn exercise.

    and hello there. the end of a very long but fulfilling (and dare I say it, generally fun) semester. I finished everything up yesterday after taking my last final. things are looking up, we’re gonna make it after all, all of that stuff. (more…)

    I’ve felt kind of under the weather this week. Not sick, but just out of it, tired, fed up with this year. The semester’s almost over; I’ll have everything finished by Thursday, most likely. I need to take a big exam by Tuesday, and another by Friday. (more…)

 

fall cedes to winter

    it’s almost the end of the semester. I’ve got one more paper to write — rather, to finish, thankfully. It’s almost there. then an exam in my Roman Tradition class, to which I’m not really looking forward. perhaps an exam in Tragedy, but I’m not really quite sure what that will entail. Nicole and I are having a Thanksgiving get-together tomorrow, which will be awesome. I’m really looking forward to it, especially since neither of us can go home, and we were cool with providing a place for others similarly stranded for the holiday. (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.

    feel free to drop me comments on here, or even an email at:
