hiatus
yes my friends – i have taken a long and ridiculous hiatus in order to adjust to my new life – find a job – “slow down”- figure out how i feel about being an academic – about york – about my diss – and i am slowly but surely doing that – but i meant to get back on the blogging track pretty quickly – and instead i got on the 40 hours a week on my feet track really quickly and i spend almost NO TIME online at all anymore when three short months ago i couldnt be teared away from it – i am losing track of dooce and kaybeeblog
I can’t even deal with what a bad emailer i have been – like really really bad – that is SO NOT LIKE ME -
at any rate – i must accept these things – and fill you all in on the info that is relevant while i am sitting at my computer -
1 – i live in a house of 10 other people – yes there are 11 of us – and its awesome – three apartments – and all of them are incredible people that i LOVE – we make music videos and watch alot of lword – yes its true i got into lword – but its easy to suck you in -
2 – i work at Vosge Haut Chocolat and i eat ALOT of chocolate – like pretty serously amazing amounts – and its awesome – i also work with the mayor and julia martin – which is pretty stupendous – i couldnt have asked for a more reassuring job when i am in transition – chocolate makes me feel better -
3 – me and eric finally live in the same place and its awesome – we sleep in and dont have to worry about going back and forth to buffalo – he meets me in soho all the time and we hang out and watch twin peaks and giggle alot – he is a gem and its been incredible to be with him all the time -
4 – probably the biggest change has been not being a student or teaching or affiliated with a university in any way – the leave of absence is working out in a BIG way – all i think about while i am working at vosges is how fucking burnt out i was with school – and how good it will feel to go back well rested – i need to stop treating it like a rat race and start treating it like what it actually is – something i enjoy doing. {you’ll notice i used a period there – that means business} we shall see what else comes from this break – time will tell
so thats it – my life in brooklyn is a whole other ballgame now – welcome to the show
Stumble it!
