(no subject)

It has been too long since I have written anything but bureaucratic obscurities (an oxymoron, yes, I know), such that I scarce know how to describe my thoughts. It appears to me however, after further reflection, that I am disgruntled not only by what appear to be irreparable flaws in my character but also by further disillusionment on my perception of my gender. Though neither of these things would matter if I were only able to (had the balls to?) use both to my advantage. On the upside, I have been reading more about American history of my own volition than I did in all of my time in academia, so I suppose that is a boon. Or just aging.

Otherwise, life is normal. Since the beneficiary form in the event of my untimely demise is secured, the admins were subject to my handwritten print and found some of it illegible. Why I bother sending originals anymore, I hardly know, and I am tempted to just send them a copy with the "correction" in ink. Back taxes to my current state of residence are owed and I hope I will find out why it is so high once I receive the forms in the mail. My father's States-side for a visit and is unmistakably trim and fit; we compared weights the past week and he only weighs about ten pounds more. Sadly, this is not enough to alter my diet and it seems my Lenten resolution is give up moderation.

I saw the King's Speech with N. the other evening and it was quite good, though it puts me in mind of the previous administration and how awfully convenient it would have been for this film to have come out during that time. Such interesting times as these are now, it is no wonder that our thoughts turn to a steady hand, stiff upper lip and abstemious humor. You ever notice how no one writes about Isaac the man, as opposed to Isaac the father or Isaac the son?
