I’m going to make this quick.  If you don’t know already, I quit my job in New York and moved to Chicago to start grad school.  Sociology.  PhD.  OMFG.  

I’m doing my best to get readjusted to the academic life, and finding it a bit difficult to effectively manage my time. That is to say that I’m procrastinating quite a lot.  But once I get back into the swing of things, I hope to have a little time (and motivation) to update this site again.  Moving forward, my posts might be a bit shorter than they’ve been in the past, but it has always been nice to have a forum to share whatever has been on my mind with the world.  Also—and this is especially true when I was in college and writing papers on cultural capital and dialectics and whatever—it gave me a reason to remember how humans actually write to one another.  A few people actually read my silly little notes, too. 

Looking to the future, I’m still contemplating what I want this site to be. I’m well aware of the potential professional hazards of revealing too much about one’s self online, especially in the academic sphere, and I don’t need some stupid rant about how much I hate dislike love Matchbox 20 to someday come back and bite me in the ass.  You never know what kind of unearthly academic powers Rob Thomas will wield 10 years from now, after all.

Anyway, hi again.  See you soon.
