Long time, no see

Since my last post I fractured my radius skating. Now when I see a half-pipe, I have PTSD. Professional skating is not in the cards for me, it seems. My new backup plan is to save up my money this year and if I don't find a job, then I will move to Tbilisi and live for a year basically doing nothing except studying Georgian and writing philosophy. I'll scout for possible there jobs when I return in May of '09, but I'd be content just to hang out for the year.

Other news...

Nothing. Lewisburg is a place where nothing happens except arm breaking. I'm now nearly fully recovered, and now I'll have to find something else to do. In November I'll be in Pittsburgh for a conference. Matt will be there as will other grad school buddies. I'm looking forward to that. I have mixed emotions about Pittsburgh, however. Primanti Bros. with their pastrami, coleslaw, and french fry sammiches are calling me, but Pittsburgh represents some of my biggest failures in living up to the expectations I set for myself. So, going there will be a bitter-sweet hiatus from this place where nothing happens.
