I left the house today to learn about my new job assignment. Today is one of the april days referred to in the childhood ditty, and remarkably crappy. While doing the dishes, I decided to put on Kiss It Goodbye’s only lp, called She loves me, She loves me not…. Understand that when I first [...]
We went to see Neko Case on Friday night in Tarrytown. Eric Bachmann opened for her. It was an excellent show and just reaffirmed my giant heart for Neko Case, the fact of which made Sarah feel less like a spazz. Which, admittedly, was a good reason for me not to have told her…
The theater [...]
In a seasonally-unprecedented move (at least for a good long time), I have been digging me some songs–not compositions, not improvisations–actual, honest-to-goodness songs. Lots of good old Dischord bands, Smart Went Crazy, Lungfish, Shudder to Think as well as the golden age of mid-90s midwest indie rock–Rodan, June of 44, you know, that sort of [...]
First blog post of the year–it’s hard to believe that we’ve been doing this thing (at times painfully sporadically) for a year or so. Dang. It has been quite a ride the last couple of months: we have gotten a little bit used to sarah teaching and made our peace with being truly adult with [...]
Involving the South as an entity and just listening, all John Cage-like. I don’t know how true the story is, but as i understand it, as his life went on, Cage stopped listening to recorded music, choosing rather to sit and listen with his windows open to the world as it sped and roared and [...]
This is, of course, after a good hour plus of watching bonus features on dvds of Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Gilmore Girls. I just finished watching the last season of Buffy for the second time (i’m only three or four behind Sarah b), and the sixth season of GG is on loan, so i’m [...]
It was a successful day, i think, based on the fact that we were in and out of the city by 1 p.m. Brunch with a Hopkins friend, and home to get things done. I’ve got an excellent first draft of a poem (the first in quite a while), which stems from my being pissed [...]
Hello to all! How has it been going! I have been slightly underslept for a long enough time that I’m considering just drinking tons of caffeine over the course of the entire day (as opposed to stopping before noon as per my rule for moderating caffeine intake) so as to be slightly high and better [...]
(One week and one day of teaching fellows left!)
Alrighty, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader was excellent. Unfortunately I cannnot remember much about what I was so very excited to write down about it. Also, I have returned the book to the library so I can’t just flip through it to remember. It’s [...]
When I decided to do the whole Teaching Fellows thing, teach full-time and concurrently take part-time grad classes, I didn’t fully understand what “Not Sarah Lawrence” would mean in terms of education. I will say this of graduate school at Mercy College and never speak of it to you all again. I figured school [...]
