Just so you know…
I’m team Peeta. (I watched the film today and thought it was quite riveting. I look forward to checking out the books.)
Thank you New York, thank you. One day in and this is already the best trip of my life!
A brilliant and stunning exhibition of what the male body can do. Not mine, of course. But this guy’s. Wow.
Would have been DFW’s 50th birthday, and the good folks at The Awl have come up with 46 Things to Read and See about him. Check it out.
The man, the myth, the legend. I wish we still had his luminary vision to view the world through (beyond the books themselves, of course!)
How I feel about applying to PhD programs.

Love it, if only for the fact that Hillary Clinton looks a helluva lot like Brenda Hillman in this picture!

Thesis Draft #3 Done!
Maybe it was the sudden infusion of new D.A. Powell poems into my life (please, please, please get ahold of Useless Landscape, or A Guide for Boys if you like poetry, even just a little!) but I finally put the finishing touches on draft #3 of my thesis, which is the core of my (potential) book manuscript. These are exciting times! I am pretty happy with the manuscript as a whole, thanks in large part to feedback I’ve received from dear friends, dear friends who don’t mince words and want the work to be as good as I want it. I’m excited to turn the manuscript into my advisor and see what he thinks (I was touched to learn he liked the last draft quite a bit!) Anyway, I think I’ve earned a few hours rest now, before I have to get cracking on grading papers and working on my annotated bibliography on the general subject of poetry and new Modernism. Something will come to me, I’m sure.
