For the past month and a half my life has basically consisted of waking up at noon, watching the food network, and playing Grand Theft Auto 4. It is not exactly what I'd call a meaningful existence, though my GTA 4 sniper skills have improved markedly. The high points of my time in Florida have been finishing a paper that will be published in early 2009, seeing Saw III (and, by implication, Bahar Soomekh in a mind-blowing role which smashed my face). For the last two nights Sebastian has awakened me roughly every two hours to take him out. Not fun. Oddly, beginning the night after he spent the day at the vet/groomer, he began suffering from a particularly annoying intestinal ailment.
But there is light at the end of the tunnel. On Thursday I head up to Saratoga Springs, NY to reunite with friends and teach for 3 weeks.
Recent thought: the coolness of the resurgent knitting craze and roller derby is lost on me.

Todd, I don't understand your comment. May be your confusion arises from a misreading of what I wrote. Had I written what is contained in your quote, I might see where you're coming from.
I never was aware that roller derby became cool again... around the time this entry was made I encountered some people in town who wanted me on their roller derby team... I didn't know what roller derby was and I didn't know how to skate. I went to a "practice" anyway. I figured out how to skate pretty easily and then learned the rules of the game. I quickly was asked to not come back to a "practice" (skating in circles with the public including 8 year olds) because I had too much drive and was a bitch... It's roller derby... I don't get it. I can still skate though!
