it's birthday eve! and in the next several days, i have a bunch of paper type things to write (one of them is a LECTURE, eeeek), which seems like a bit much but is the sort of thing i'm always setting myself up for, so who knows. maybe i subconsciously love it.
this morning i woke up and it was (a) cloudy, (b) cold, and (c) the day for driving emily to the airport so she can leave for a month.
it also happened to be the day for new contacts, new contacts which are stored in a big bag of toiletry type miscellany that i keep in a corner. i found the right-eye contacts. check. then i was rummaging around for the left-eye contacts, and i found out that the small bag for razors and tweezers -- the one that lives in the bottom of the big bag -- had been open, and there was at least one razor down there where i was rummaging.
anyway, i'm down one right index fingertip, which puts a serious crimp in my plans for writing paper type things. writing this entry, for example, took me like four and a half hours.
also it is still cloudy and still cold. on the upside, i know i have a wide variety of internet friends who will console me with comments (ahem), and a wide variety of local acquaintances who will be impressed with the gory mess i have made. go me!

by day a political scientist! by night a significantly less intellectually responsible political scientist!

welcome to my blog. i'm a ph.d. candidate in political science at yale, a native midwesterner, and a happy californian. right now my research is about armed organizations and how they organize their violence against noncombatants, or fail to. i'm also interested in intentional community, gender in the academy, grad school pedagogy, fat politics, the religious left, my partner, our local farmers' market and idiosyncratic capitalization practices.
