Not Sure

Why I suddenly decided to start blogging again. Guess I'll go with it.

Lobster I Have Eaten

Since August 9, 2011:

-2 boiled lobsters for dinner first day home
-post-wedding lobster roll at Capt. Carlo's
-lobster BLT (BLLT? BLTL?) at the Landing
-2 lobster tail dinners*
-4+ homemade lobster rolls (after lobster tail dinners)

*Thanks to Mom, and Cherry St. Fish Market

The Best Offense is a Good Defense

I am literally stockpiling gear for my eventual return to Seattle. In the past couple weeks I've bought:

-Sunglasses with amber lenses (that make gray days look brighter)
-Thin puffy jacket (to wear under rain jacket)
-Yellow rain boots

I am still on the lookout for a waterproof bike commuting backpack and new rain pants.

How many MFA students does it take to change a lightbulb?

A: It's unlikely they would be concerned with such quotidian matters.

Update

There was much less drama in Wednesday's class than I hoped. There was actually no drama at all, unfortunately, save for me climbing a large window to pull down the shade. If you're wondering how one can climb a window, picture a really large 30-foot window in a classroom in an academic hall-type building. The window shade pull cord was probably 15 feet off the ground, so it involved me stepping on a chair, climbing onto the windowsill, and reaching. If you're wondering why I did this, it's because I was challenged. I believe the professor made some comment about how I should be able to reach it because I was a rugby player. I used to think that I climbed things because I was drunk, but really I can't turn down a climbing challenge, even if it's midafternoon and I'm sitting in a graduate literature class.
