Well, so much for R&R.
Instead of devoting the weekend to a concerted bout of chillaxin’, I found myself intensely focused on a new poem for most of Saturday and intensely focused on preparing my last batch of September submissions for most of Sunday. I’m one trip to the P.O. short of finished, and then the slate [...]

Yesterday I was a diligent monkey and (again, despite my plan to simply plan) completed a set of revisions and prepared them for submission. I’ve got to slap a few stamps on the set and drive to the P.O., Eudora Welty style, but I’m feeling pretty good about my productivity. With a little luck I’ll [...]
Through Houses or Graves; or, When Antipodes Attack
Posted in amor fati!, evil twins, vagaries of verse on July 20, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Let me begin by confessing that I am inexplicably exhausted, inexplicably because a) the most strenuous thing I’ve attempted today is brunch, and b) I have 3-6 shots of espresso circulating in my system (I have sown discord among the baristas). I would not attempt to operate heavy machinery right now, nor would I strike bargains [...]
The Salvage of the Second Self

You know the day is going well when you’ve got three shots of espresso in your system and you’re still flatlining circa 11:15 AM. Faulty wiring may be involved.
All things considered, it’s been a decent week. I’ve got a rough script for the upcoming academic year in place; I’ve devised a spine-tingling new way to [...]
Post-lapsarian

(NB: It seems a lot of folks arrive at this post whilst searching for the terms “lapsarian” or “post-lapsarian.” If you’re hunting for something like a working definition, I eventually mounted one over here.)
Were you to see me on the street today, you would probably put your spare change in my hat. Heck, you might [...]
Life to the Lees

I attempted to blog yesterday, but at the tail end of grading 70 essays my prose was somewhat less than scintillating. This is the only arena in which I try not to take my writing ultra-seriously, but I do aspire to something akin to zesty coherence.
Grading aside, it was something of an odd weekend. On Friday [...]
True to Form

Last night I was the victim of an instant earworm (which, I must say, is one of the most bitchin’ of German loanwords). I was checking the top 30 list of our university radio station, seeing what the youth of America is into these days, when I spotted a new release from a band I [...]
Hasty Pudding

Well, so much for spring. It was nice while it lasted.
Since I’m icebound this morning, I thought I’d squeeze in a hasty post. After that I must climb down into my essay-grading bunker, from which I may never return. I just happen to like the MRE pudding.
Over the past week I’ve enjoyed a handful of reassuring professorial moments, which [...]
