mmm. just dropped off my friend L at the airport, and i'm now house and dog sitting for her in west seattle until wednesday. it's so quiet here, and lovely, sidewalks galore for walking the dog--a little buff-colored terrier named mitzi (sp?), aka miz biz--and running myself. my plan is to stay in west seattle for the entire 4-5 days, mostly in seclusion, so i can finally finish a good prospectus draft.
there's a PCC less than a block away. easy street records is within walking distance. i can walk to some breathtaking views of the sound. i think i can walk to alki too, where they probably don't allow even little dogs in the sand but where there is probably a nice sidewalk for the walking of dogs.
i'm sitting on the couch surfing the news sites while mitzi snores next to me.
i brought my juggling balls with me; also a knitting project and my running shoes. but mostly i'm going to be writing while i'm here. for the first time in a long time i have both the time and the strong inclination to write. i actually feel inspired by my work, mainly because i have finally figured out how to approach a key problem that i have with intellectual work in general: how to make it DO something; how to make it engage more immediately with my political and activist commitments. (more about that in a future post...)
( beware: boring dissertation topic ramblings ahead! )
