Tonight marks the end of updates to showcat and the start of updates to clare.overt.org, the space Bryan has given me on his server, where I'll be running a Movable Type blog that Ali helped me set up (many thanks, Bryan and Ali!).
It's been a good almost-year here on blogspot, minus the outages and the ads etc. etc. Hopefully Blogger will let this site live on as an archive of mediocre blogging.
Go look! Update your bookmarks and your blog links!
So:
The disappearing ex from last semester apparently only broke up with his "ex" for a week. In between visits to Austin. How'd I find out? She called me in mid-March, having just found out that I existed. I find it gratifying and hilarious that an absurd story actually got more absurd. Plus I got to bitch him out on the phone. Apparently they're getting engaged.
My Peace Corps invitation packet arrived: Senegal, West Africa; Sept 16, 2004. "Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture Extension Agent."
Complicating the decision: I'm currently in CA visiting Berkeley (and Leslie and Bryan) and the campus is painfully beautiful, the program utterly perfect, the weather amazing, the mountains and trees and Bay stunning. "Delayed gratification, delayed gratification... AAAAARGH!"
I'm surrounded by green paradise, but all I think about are dusty huts and bicycle rides through African savannah.
