So I'm in Blacksburg staying with
marthamarina79 atm and it is good. I'm working on my paper, visiting old friends, looking for housing and a job, and generally pondering existence. We put on a big Easter party on Sunday with wine and Easter eggs and a 60 lb. lamb roasted over a fire for 8 hours. It was a blast. My dog was in heaven full of lamb scraps and bones. The party was all molecular biology grad students, and it felt great to talk shop for the first time in nine months.
Blacksburg is mostly like I remember it. It's interesting though: when I left here before, I was thick in the fog of post-divorce depression, and that affected the way I viewed the city. Now instead of feeling oppressive, walking downtown feels...fine I guess. Neutral, and mildly positive tinged with old memories. When I first came here I promised myself I would not get sucked back in, and now I find myself pondering life here again, viewing professor profiles to see who needs PhD students and the like. Well, it's sure an improvement over life as a hermit in Creedmoor.
All the paperwork for the divorce has been submitted to the courts. Now I'm just waiting on the court system to finish processing it. Should be any day now.
BTW, I dunno if we got any breakbeat/electric funk fans here, but I just found a new podcast by atomic hooligan that's free on iTunes. Just type in "menu sessions podcast" in the search window and you should get 5 podcast links, about 8 hours of crazy British DJ antics and electric goodness.
