Weekend slipping out of grip
So, my previous report was ill-informed-- My dog Tango is indeed a father, but not of 6 puppies as previously reported. Nope. Instead, my powerful stud of a labrador breeding machine fathered NINE (yes, count them! 9!) little puppies. Seen here with their mother in their first couple days of life, the puppies are now a little over 10 days old. They are much less sticky now, but still as confused as previously reported.
Click to viewHere's a video my sister and my dad made for me. See? They're still in their eyes-shut skinny-little-mole look. This of course means I'll be greeted with a flood of adorable labrador puppies trampling over me and licking my face when I get to Barranquilla in a little less than a month. As if I wasn't excited enough to visit my family already.
Would it be ridiculously cliché of me to point out how quickly the year passed by? It would be, wouldn't it? It hit me a couple days ago when I realized I'm less than 30 days away from my trip. I thought "holy shit-- we're in November already?" and panicked at the thought of all the shit I got to do before my trip. Also the fact that while time seems to rush by at a ridiculous speed, my station in life is very much unchanged. But I guess this is what it's supposed to be, right? College. The in-between years. "Twennui" and all of that. Or at least that's what I'll tell myself for now.
So I realize I haven't really been posting a lot. Or at all. I'd love to say that this is because I'm extremely busy but that would be a bold-faced lie. Fact of the matter is, although I HAVE been flooded with work, school, social and creative commitments, I've also just been feeling extremely... blank. I mean, shit, I've been writing a lot. I've been writing for the website, I've been writing scripts, I'm involved in a poetry workshop. I've been writing a lot of fiction. But I just feel like my ability to be grandiloquent about my tiny little everyday victories and defeats has greatly diminished. I'm not sure exactly why.
But fuck it. I'm gonna make an effort to write here more often. Maybe it'll come back to me. This is not gonna be that post, though. For now, I'll fill this space with some recent pictures of the awesome people who surround me.
Gay communists!
