You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops: February 2009

http://onemorepseudonym.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops. On being the other woman in New York, academia, and beyond. For it is with this world that we shall always have to concern ourselves: the world is not to be learned and thrown aside, but reverted to and relearned." - Browning, "Essay on Shelley". I want to write a story or a poem about using numbers as metaphors. Something like that is my prayer for the next few days. In the archive of the evanescent. Walter Pater, "Joachim du Bellay," from The Renaissance. He's ...

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops: Words kicking around in my head makes it hard to deal with composition papers

http://onemorepseudonym.blogspot.com/2009/03/words-kicking-around-in-my-head-makes.html

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops. On being the other woman in New York, academia, and beyond. Words kicking around in my head makes it hard to deal with composition papers. 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...

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops: November 2008

http://onemorepseudonym.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops. On being the other woman in New York, academia, and beyond. My favorite piece of gym equipment has always been the elliptical machine. I wonder what it will take for me to feel safe in the world. I wonder what it can possibly mean to be gracious with these stories, to be gracious with myself. 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...

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops: New set of plans

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...

weekend of not much | it's probably phd me

https://probablyphdme.com/2015/07/19/weekend-of-not-much

It's probably phd me. But it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. L. Carroll. Sunday, 19 July 2015. Weekend of not much. While my week was promising, my weekend was decidedly dull, I’m afraid. Maybe dull isn’t the right word, though: ordinary? For some reason, it felt much more like a semester weekend than a summer weekend, which I suppose speaks to my efforts at actual academic work. Today was me computer at home. I’m ashamed of how long some tasks have been...I prefe...

it's probably phd me | "But it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then." L. Carroll | Page 2

https://probablyphdme.com/page/2

It's probably phd me. But it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. L. Carroll. Sunday, 14 August 2016. As much as I enjoy editorial work, I won’t be too sorry to step down from my current editor position, as witnessed by the existential pain of forcing myself to get through my work today. I’m serious when I say I enjoy editing work. It’s not easy, of course, and there’s plenty of eye-rolling and “oh, good lord! And when I step down from this, I’ll have yet another...

I don’t even believe my life at this point | it's probably phd me

https://probablyphdme.com/2015/08/12/i-dont-even-believe-my-life-at-this-point

It's probably phd me. But it's no use going back to yesterday, because I was a different person then. L. Carroll. Wednesday, 12 August 2015. I don’t even believe my life at this point. If I’d had a time machine twenty years ago and had jumped forward to see what was happening at this point in my life, I would not have recognized myself. I may look like the same person but I am most decidedly not. This is all just weird. Why didn’t I know this twenty years ago? The Gentleman is very deserving of his name ...

You don't meet nice girls in coffeeshops: Also

http://onemorepseudonym.blogspot.com/2009/04/also.html

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. And it's incredibly hard to find a boyfriend once you realize that's what you want. Going to try to stop thinking about this right now, though. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
