Things are looking up, poorhouse-wise: I'm editing a book on architecture and thought, and now have a part-time job as a tutor in the Writing Center of a local arts & design school. I'm looking forward to it - the designers I've worked with have often had an almost organic relationship to their work, saying things like "this almost wants to be black" and "it feels like (noun)." Mostly "it wants to be X." I like that, because I both believe and don't understand it, and I'm interested in seeing how arguments get constructed around it.
The Writing Center is part of the Critical Studies {amorphous segment of college}, so I don't know how often I'll be helping people write about their own work, but we'll see.
Plus maybe discounted classes. And just being in an academic environment again, reading flyers pinned up on walls is like crack to me.

Woo hoo! Academic crack!
So lovely to know you're updating a blog again; I've oft wondered how things were going out east.
Sorry about your Pats. Even though I was rooting for Eli and the Giants.
Who is this karitas person? I thought this blog was just for me.
I was rooting for Eli and the Giants, too. The Pats were getting a little bit cocky, inviting Giants to their parade, their party, etc.
I am excited about the Pats' loss because of the inevitably awesome headlines: Giant Disappointment; Giant Let Down; Giant Embarrassment; Giant Squid.
Yes, I'm sure today is the absolute Zenith for sports headline writers everywhere.
Perfect Ending
Nodoby's Perfect (typo intentional)
Or perhaps the obscure 'Boxeed'
etc. etc.
who is this karitas person? i am this karitas person! her one and only karitas!
if i may say so myself.
Mark, I pity you, that you haven't met Karitas. Really. When Karitas speaks, butterflies alight on her shoulders.
What if the letter sequence in the 'word verification' section isn't a word. For instance: dofodq. Even I know that isn't a word.
This keritas person sounds interesting: Tell me more.
Dofodq (n): A black marketeer specializing in burqa-porn.
If I were to enumerate Karitas's charms in this public forum, she would be even more set upon by swains than she is now, and she has scholarly pursuits to uh, pursue.
I like how I have to word verify comments to my own blog.
