I haven’t written in a while. Things have been a little nuts. Nuts in both good ways and bad ways.
I’ll skip the bad ways. They’ve involved unforeseen apartment crises necessitating the destruction of all our belongings and immediate vacancy of said apartment + acquisition of new apartment + spontaneous bout of quasi-homelessness/nomadic transience which will be remedied shortly. This has been both unexpected, very expensive and highly, highly annoying. Don’t know why I’m writing in my professional voice. I will stop.
The good ways include MIT being awesome, my intergenerational mobile video media project with a Kenyan community kicking off this week, proposal moving full steam ahead with the German fellowship I am applying for, and summer being, well, sunny and pretty and pleasant and full of oceans and bluejays and french fries.
I’ve spent a lot of time in my office. DD and I have done a lot of driving to and from Rhode Island. I finally swam in the ocean for the first time this year and it was great, just great. My 11-year-old stepbrother-in-law stood next to me in the water this entire time and, as his transition lenses faded from light purple to blue, he explained how one can hack one’s PS2 to allow one’s anime characters to have superpowers. And how one time he beat this game in like 11 minutes. And how one time his friend came over and they did this thing. And how he likes reading and he wants to go to Japan real bad.
That is all for now.
