lately

i’m not sure why but i’ve been putting myself through the ringer as of late.  i spent most of the past two weeks applying for jobs i don’t think i really want and submitting things that don’t warrant submissions to committees.  i’ve made myself tired when i shouldn’t be.
i’ve been doing a lot of work [...]

moving on

i’m having one of those “i’m so tired i could puke” sort of evenings.  it is the end of a rather busy week (a rather busy three weeks, actually), and I’d be quite content to sit here on the couch the rest of the night and be sleepy.
work and school has kept me busy latelly.  [...]

45. olive trees

things are well.
in the past while, i’ve networked, met, brainstormed, and debated with (too) many people from (too) many disciplines and fields.   The programme is keeping me busy, and assignment duedates are beginning to appear on the horizon, but it’s a nice kind of busy.  unlike this time last year – the second week into [...]

35. killing time

Here’s another one playing on the idea of time and the manner in which its effaced. I mentioned yesterday, you might recall, that my time this past week had been eaten up by work. Sometimes our time is swept up by activities, while at other times, time languishes (or is even left [...]

11. sweetness

so the money is rolling in (soon). I picked up more piecemeal work for the summer, marking my number of short 16-week jobs at three. this one seems like a real deal, though, ranging somewhere around twenty pesos an hour for ten hours a week through the rest of the term, followed up [...]

9. Killing time

9. killing time.
i’m killing fifteen spare minutes before running off to shower and then to work.  it appears that i may miss out on the toronto fc game this afternoon, given the timing of my shift at the restaurant, but there’s a chance i’ll catch the last half.  this isn’t so bad, since david beckham [...]

The last two weeks (and then some).

Alright, where to begin? First, I should be at WalMart right now, buying, amoung other things, an ironing board. I have not yet washed however, as I am unsure when the painters will be back to finish painting the outside trim of the bathroom window. We have recently moved (more on that later), and have [...]
