So I have been off of the air of late. Like 6 weeks “of late.” Sorry about that. A bunch of stuff has gone down that has prevented me form being able to blog, and here it is in recipe form:

1 Cup of homesickness

1 Cup of crappy work schedule (2:00pm-10:00pm) that prevents you from going out or talking to anybody outside of your office for long stretches.

2 Tablespoons of heartbreak

1 Quart of Immigration fuck-ups and paperwork delays, mixed.

Combine these ingredients in a large bowl one after another, mixing thoroughly (try not to cry too much)… and viola! In no time at all you’ve got yourself a perfect concoction that will guarantee that you are unable to maintain relationships, engage yourself in the present in any meaningful way or focus on the future.

At any rate, I have finally finished off this steaming shitburger (for the most part). I’ve got some distance from the final act of my summer romance; my work schedule has changed to the overnights (10:00pm-6:00am) which actually affords me the opportunity to leave my house during the week for something other than work; and, finally, I was able to get all of my outstanding paperwork wrangled together and apply for my 1-year work visa. (Fingers crossed that it gets approved!)

So I’m back. The last 2 weekends have been action-packed for me and the next couple of weeks promise to be even busier. I’ll have time to blog and -even better- I’ll actually have a lot to blog about. I’ve got notes and photos from the few disperate events and activities that I have participated in over these past 6 weeks and I’ll be putting them online in the coming days.

Stay tuned, readers!
