yes, i've missed all of you too. i haven't had the time to respond the emails, return phone calls, much less write on my blog. regardless, this also means that my life has mostly been filled with teaching, as opposed to what i'd prefer to do with my free time...which involves writing my book and engaging in functional alcoholism.
some fun times have been had in the last month...we went to the bright eyes show in charleston at the beginning of november. as always a good time (from what i remember)...i do know there was a late night party that involved a mechanical bull. also, tim long came to visit, which was good times as usual, with late night beach walks and inexpensive brunches.
i have decided after much deliberation that i am in fact applying to a doctoral program for next fall. this wasn't my first choice, but seems to be a good idea for me now. of course, i change my mind just about every day and one of the lasting dreams is to be a tour manager a la murray from the flight of the conchords.
moving on...this is my first thanksgiving as a vegetarian. i made the fatal flaw of mentioning this to one of my classes...and then spent the next 15 minutes trying to explain to my curious class what a vegetarian eats. "uh, duh, vegetables?" regardless, it reminded me of the scene in everything is illuminated (see below)...as someone actually asked me "do you eat turkey?"
something else you should check out...tim has a new food blog, you can check it out here: www.biscuitblog.com
