summer br8k

the one-two punch of my birthday and the calamitous end of the spring semester led to abandonment of my proverbial post, and this website laid dormant in my absence. cut to, three months later and i accidentally click the bookmark. welcome back to the world ppf. im spending the summer at home and it's about as uneventful as that description implies. the original plan was for me to get a job, restoring some girth to my cavernous coffers, but everything fell through so i'm basically just letting the days go by. it's a pretty peaceful existence - been playing a lot of video games - but i'd be lying if i said i wasn't excited to get back on campus. in spite of my flakiness i enjoy having this blog, so expect more posts in the near/distant future. counting the 40-odd days until i can move into my new apartment

tragedy plus time

i feel bad about abandoning my child such as i did, so have a bonus post - the poem from last semester's poetry workshop that i feel is best/the poem i am most comfortable with sharing. it is called "tragedy plus time" and it is a villanelle which it turns out are really damn hard to write
