dbdsn: learning to navigate
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2015/01/learning-to-navigate.html
Wednesday, January 28, 2015. It's been a hard couple weeks. There is a job application looming. Our neighbors. Have left the building. The weather has been blustery and chilly, for Georgia, and we got the flu the day we came home from Wisconsin. I miss sunlight. And the dog that attacked our dog last month, while we were out on our daily walk, is still chained in its yard, likely to attack another animal. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I sort of know how to use the internet. Before I came home naked.

dbdsn: these things are fading
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2015/07/these-things-are-fading.html
Sunday, July 12, 2015. These things are fading. Sometimes I can barely remember what it was like to live in Michigan for three years. It seems so utterly far away now: what it was like to be able to step outside and head out on foot to a library or restaurant or neighborhood, shaded by the trees that line the streets of Heritage Hill. Most often, I miss being able to distract myself from myself by simply taking a long walk around the city. Or what passed for one. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

dbdsn: au revoir, 2014
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2014/12/au-revoir-2014.html
Friday, December 19, 2014. Au revoir, 2014. It's the annual year in photos review time! You know, I do this purely for myself, and every year I feel a little like a goob when I start, and then by the time I get to the December folder, I'm always like THIS IS SO IMPORTANT IT'S GOOD FOR ME TO REMEMBER ALL THE THINGS I DID THIS YEAR GOOD JOB, ME. But then again, that's keeping a blog in 2014, huh? You know the rules. See also: 2009. To the new year, but first- goodbye to the old one. Before I came home naked.

dbdsn: up nort
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2015/06/up-nort.html
Wednesday, June 17, 2015. Sometimes, after a long year. You gotta get on a plane and fly to a place where summer still exists, where the sky is high and blue and the peonies are still blooming and you think a lot about those Minnesota summers you had in 2004 and 2005 and 2006 and 2007 and it's good to sit at a table outside with very old friends and drink beer and be glad, so glad, that you made it.

dbdsn: it's dark out
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2007/11/its-dark-out.html
Monday, November 5, 2007. This morning I awoke to the sun streaming in the windows, and NPR was playing, and the dog was licking my face. I'd slept about ten hours, full of sage-rubbed pork and pumpkin ice cream, and it was Monday and the prospect of work seemed exciting. There's a passage in Heat. That I dog-eared the second I read it, and though it has little to do with the book, it has everything to do with my life right now, and I have read it no less than ten times since I started the book last week:.

dbdsn: rivers + roads
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2014/12/rivers-roads.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. I would like to tell you that we met our next-door neighbors on our second day in Georgia. On the day we moved in, a sweltering July day in 2011. I will. Tell you that, actually, because I think it is true. I know that I was sweating profusely after moving all of our possessions into our house, the lease on which we'd signed approximately one hour after arriving in this town on a Friday afternoon. A Buffalo Bisons t-shirt from the 1980s. We had a community. Here's the thing: wh...

dbdsn: smell you later, 2010
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2010/12/smell-you-later-2010.html
Sunday, December 19, 2010. Smell you later, 2010. Well The grades have been entered; the presents have been purchased; the Christmas roadtrip to MSP is only a day away. I have given my little be good citizens. Speech to the students and dumped two strands of Christmas lights in the fireplace for that warm holiday glow. Bring it, holiday season. To the new year, then- but first, goodbye to the old one. December 20, 2010 at 10:42 AM. And I really love the August towels. SO AUGUST. Ah, yes, lovely August.

dbdsn: would you look at that
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2014/09/would-you-look-at-that.html
Sunday, September 7, 2014. Would you look at that. Would you look at that. As soon as I stepped away from this space, I had things I thought I might want to say here. Mainly, because I. Am the biggest narcissist of all time. Possess a healthy ego, I missed my own voice. Summer 2014 was a good one, though pretty work-oriented. There were a couple conferences, and an online course, and I agreed to freelance for my department and. Into a new manuscript. What else is new:. Work is up here. There are job open...

dbdsn: last days, with [editorials]
http://dbdsn.blogspot.com/2010/12/last-days-with-editorials.html
Tuesday, December 7, 2010. Last days, with [editorials]. This semester is a blur, a tiny train. I don't know how it is that I'm sitting here on a Tuesday, looking at the window at snow, my feet freezing in slippers I need to replace. I have taken ten baths in the last two weeks. I hate baths. But there is no faster way to return the blood and feeling to my extremities. So I draw the bath, and I fill the tub with Aveeno, and I slide beneath the water and contemplate my genitals.]. Dear 2011, be kind.].
