Variations on the Search for Fresh Produce, scribbled in the margins of 3/8/09. Not really a poem or anything much. Queen of the peppadaws. Now it's turnips and fingerlings. As far as the eye can see. The market reminds us. That nothing is timeless. Hydroponic red peppers and mesculun mix. I looked up into them. In the elevato...

Labels: banging my head against a brick wall. Blogging about things to make them go away. I want to coincide with someone. What would it be like, to coincide? As I was leavi...

http://onemorepseudonym.blogspot.com/2009/03/new-set-of-plans.html

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops. On being the other woman in New York, academia, and beyond. New set of plans. My options for next year are something like the following:. 2 I don't get any fellowships. In this case, I move back to St Louis by mid-June. 3 I get Fellowship B. This one is less money, but more prestige and no strings attached. 3b I get Fellowship B, continue to teach at Not-NYU, and stay in New York, at least attempting to negotiate a rent reduction or move. If #3 happens, I will se...

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops. On being the other woman in New York, academia, and beyond. It might just be worth my noting here, for posterity as well as myself, that it is sometimes disturbingly, depressingly easy to have sex in New York if you're a straight girl able to steel yourself to play the game.

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops. On being the other woman in New York, academia, and beyond. Both for myself and my mother). I need to get this place cleaned up before my party on Wednesday.
