In unrelated news, my dissertation proposal has moved one step closer to approval.

In related-to-that news, the dissertation itself is progressing nicely.

In news that is somehow related to something, head over to The Splinter Generation, where my poem "The garbage man will make it all all right" is one of the pieces representing my fractured 15-35 year old demographic.

The poem is dedicated to Nandra Perry. She popped into my office today to say that since the poem appeared in The Texas Observer, she's been getting contacted by people she hasn't heard from in years. Ironic poetry, bringing people together in totally random ways :-)

Of Anticipation and Assholes

Dear Bryan, Texas:

Just because Hurricane Ike is coming in does not mean that you suddenly get to

A) cut in front of other cars at the gas pump
B) cut in front of other people at the grocery store
C) then try to cut in front of yet another person when you realize that your previous cut was actually moving slower - that's called short-term karma

Sincerely,
JeFF
