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!
