Getting more positive feedback on the teaching end, which is really re-energizing me. A good thing, too -- spent the day at the Columbia library re-reading Machiavelli and George Eliot's *Adam Bede*; need energizing. Am I showing my age if I complain about the size of the print in Penguin Classics? *shudder*

M.'s illness drags on and on . . . very frustrating, particularly for people who are him; I was all excited about him not working Friday night, but now it looks like the movies and dinner are probably not happening, except in that modified "video and take-in" format.

Eep. An old boyfriend emailed me, Mark the Modernist Furniture Dealer; his friend L., who was also a very close friend of Kim (the ex-bf who died after we broke up), is doing a reading at the Tribes Gallery -- a place where I used to go with Kim. M.'s off that night but doesn't want to go; I'm toying with the idea. Hell, maybe Eban the Painter will be there too (he was sort of an unboyfriend, which really worked for me, at the time) and I can have a complete Awkwardness Full House. Say, anybody in the NYC area free Sunday? Wanna watch me blush and stammer? I would like to see L. read; she's a good person and I probably would have tried harder to keep in touch, but our whole relationship was based around mourning Kim.

What do you teach? I'm guessing English, but then the Machiavelli kind of throws me ;) (Are you reading The Prince or Mandragora or something else altogether?)

I'm in English, but the college I teach it is small enough that I teach in the Department of Humanities and Social Sciences -- so one of the courses I'm teaching is a mix of history, literature, and political theory, taught by a mix of historians and literature people. I'm actually loving the political stuff -- a happy surprise!
