The Monumental Heap


For the end of March, I do not have much to report. It snowed and it turned summerly warm and then it snowed again a couple of times. The photo is out of my office window counting snowflakes. The other one is out of the English Department's bay windows...







I am apartment shopping, but evidently wasting my time, because it is hard to find an affordable place with a similarly nice view!
Easter day was more productive than the other days of Spring Break, but it was terribly lonely. I don't like being lonely on Easter.

One of my major papers is done and presented, but I don't know how I feel about it.

Talking papers, my article "Ben Jonson's 'To Penshurst' - The Artifact of a Divided Mind" will appear in the University of Bucharest Review 4/2007 issue this May. The announcement is on our department's website: http://www.english.ttu.edu/, in case you want to verify the news.


Other than that, I am fighting a stalking nightmare who still has too much power over me. See photo below for an attempt to direct my anger towards something inanimate yet symbolic. The relics of the "orange book." Maybe I should repeat this cathartic shredding of pages until this from borderline personality suffering being is purged out of my system for good.
