indeed.

well, it's coffee time in the lovato house and that means blogspot time. i started my final semester as an ma student last night. it was great to see people after the long, lonely summer. i'm jealous of a few people who spent the summer out of the city, especially the one who spent it in california (returning with a glorious tan). my class last night was amazing and really the reason why i came to new school in the first place. critical theory today. or something. next week i start two more classes: just war theories and on ideology. both of those should also be amazing. i'm really excited about graduate study right now, and hopefully this final semester will help me figure out what it is exactly i want to do.
wherever life takes me i know it will be quite an adventure. the fact that i get to go on this adventure with my lovely wife is also totally rad. she's been working a lot the past few weeks, but the time we do get together is precious to me. we spent most of last weekend just laying around the apartment. i'm looking forward to the next place we live, as that will probably mean settling down for more than a year or two in one place. i've loved new york, but i'll be glad to say goodbye. california is calling (and i think i hear some faint noises coming from oregon, washington, and arizona as well). i know that i seem to focus on the future a lot right now, but that's really what's on my mind.
if we must discuss the present and/or past i shall tell you that i did get a chance to hang out with (former roommate) mark howard this past weekend. that was pretty amazing. we hung out in the east village, eating french fries and milk shakes. the next day mark, kaleena, and myself hung out and then went to bay ridge for some pretty amazing greek food (and wine) served to us by a delightful middle-aged greek woman. it was like eating at home -- if my family was greek. alright. peace.
