pugnacious pinoy skip to main skip to sidebar wednesday january 03 2018 i ll bite here we go 2018 so the rumors of this blog s demise have been greatly exaggerated truthfully life got in the way kids job changes etc all took time away from what had been a joy and when blogging started to feel like a chore i bailed then came facebook and the novelty of it which has also gotten a bit stale for me so here i am what s old is new again so here i am and i m going try and be faithful so what s new last i blogged my second son was born i ve got three now and it s been a crazy life full of love frustration temper tantrums and hugs i also left western washington university for a job at the college of the holy cross there are dozens of reasons why i left a tenured full professor job for a tenure track associate professor job but the number one reason is for the kids i just mentioned i miss the hell out of the west coast though and i miss my friends and colleagues since my last blog posting i co edited a face to meet the faces with my dear friend stacey lynn brown and published my fourth collection post subject a fable still working at two manuscripts nocturnes and synaptic labyrinth outside of all that i m a bit heavier because of all the life changes and the craziness that comes with children recent things flurry of family activity kids are being treated for a variety of things it s no secret to many of you that two of my boys are on the spectrum whatever and however you understand it probably applies so we ve been shuttling back and forth from appointment to appointment ot s and other therapies fill our days there s a big gigantic nor easter that s headed our way and everyone s freaking out i m thinking about buying a generator but of course a generator s damn expensive and it ll only get use on the occasion that the power goes out so it s like buying an insurance policy do i have the cash for the damn thing and also i have to put the damn thing in storage when it s not used guilt i should work on my syllabi new prep and all that plus i should take advantage of this longish break by writing so here we are bloggers i m back at it posted by oliver de la paz at 11 25 am no comments monday february 08 2010 the end of the line img_2833 originally uploaded by odelapaz so as i ve hinted i m retiring from blogger and migrating to my new and refurbished website www oliverdelapaz com i ve been reluctant to leave blogger because i made a lot of friends through blogger but i do hope to continue the same spirit and tone of pugnacious pinoy over at my new site that said it ll be hard to quit you so do drop by my new site and write me a note my web designer s migrated a lot of my links etc so i m attempting to keep the flair of the place on my professional site ooh professional i promise to remain as goofy on my professional site as i was here okay really i must be going it s been real it s been fun i leave you with the arcade fire as my blog s sendoff song adieu posted by oliver de la paz at 6 02 pm 3 comments thursday february 04 2010 new marching orders so i received word from the provost at my university that i am now officially an associate professor people have asked me how it feels to be promoted and tenured short answer the same to be honest and perfectly blunt i had always expected to reach the rank of associate professor and i never saw the rank as some kind of validation or license if anything i ve got more work to do what with wider campus responsibilities beyond just the department level and the continuation of both my creative and scholarly work i also think that such a rank affords one the opportunity to become a more dynamic and inventive teacher so there s that the small boost in pay will be nice but it won t compensate for the loss of income we suffered early in the year overall though i can say that i m relieved that i don t have to have annual evaluations in the manner that i had had that s one less headache for sure my time is so compressed what with the coming baby the advisory duties for my department and for this forthcoming book sometimes it s just good to chill with the kid and watch yo gabba gabba last night we sat on the carpet eating unsalted popcorn i really should be grading right now my students wrote short responses to anne carson s autobiography of red i m 1 4th through em all egad current spin a little dream pop for your thursday posted by oliver de la paz at 3 20 pm 6 comments friday january 29 2010 mid quarter check head present fingers all ten feet tired but functional ankle slightly swollen but functional eyes tired the lovely and talented monica ong is busily working on my new website which will include blogging capabilities i d let you take a peek but i think i should let the maestro do her work so far in our long poem class i m sensing fatigue students are tired of working on the same project which is part of the problem of mandatory obsession so stuck are they in the realm of narrative that they don t understand a long poem is more than its narrative a long poem is about resonance tone the only way to understand these concepts read more long poems we re on carson s autobiography of red right now and so far they seem to embrace the book the problem with the book the way the bulk of it models the novel as a teacher of the class i m more invested in them understanding how the apendices and the interview contained in the book are even more tonally significant than the actual novel but i m not sure that lesson is sinking in and i m not seeing the change or variation in their own work which in the end is okay it s a foolhardy exercise to expect a long poem from 20 23 year olds in a span of 10 weeks ultimately i m more interested in the exercise we re doing studies before we tackle the huge canvas so i bought mass effect 2 cinematic very cinematic do i have time to play the game hell no but like i said in the previous post i bought the first game got hooked and enjoyed myself for the months that i played sometimes when the kid s asleep i need a little me time outside of letters superbowl scenario peyton manning and the colts are up big on the new orleans saints in the fourth quarter up by almost 20 points manning decides to hand the saints defense the ball on consecutive plays this he does willingly being archie manning s son and having lived much of his young life in new orleans the superbowl ends in a draw and all proceeds go to the rebuilding of the 9th ward current spin musical crush posted by oliver de la paz at 1 54 pm 2 comments tuesday january 26 2010 book orders are due omg i can t believe it four weeks into the new quarter and i have to turn in book orders for my classes next quarter holy cats remember how i was going to teach that groovy ekphrastic writing class zzzzzzzzzt nope because someone s already teaching such a class this quarter and if i want people to graduate i can t teach the same class so it looks like i ll be going back to the tried and true short prose prose poem course ah well someday i ll teach an ekphrastic poetry class a bunch of books came in the mail over the past two days i got copies of the new mississippi review poetry series books as well as several chapbooks from son volt fan fun times and these are coming just before awp when i spend all my money on books and food speaking of awp i m staying at the hyatt i m worried about this generally i try to avoid the conference hotel it s too hard to hide at the conference hotel i posted on my twitter account about blog tours i know shaindel ran a pretty extensive one to promote a brief history of time i m not sure this is the right thing for me to do but it might be the necessary thing to do once the new baby gets here tax time yeah it s a video game trailer but i played the first mass effect and i was hooked for months will i get this game probably will i get to play the game very little posted by oliver de la paz at 4 06 pm 4 comments thursday january 21 2010 cool exhibit at the whatcom art museum img_2304 originally uploaded by odelapaz bloom posted by oliver de la paz at 5 28 pm no comments wednesday january 20 2010 being a bad blogger and reasons why when i started this blog i thought i d be profound i thought i d share you some thoughts about poetry life other stuff that didn t last the truth of it is i get tired of thinking about poetry in the ten to fifteen minutes i take to blog i generally think about things outside of poetry because frankly i think about poetry every day for long stretches of time i bought lots of poetry books and my wife doesn t know alas i m teaching summer school because i need sign up for my classes will you i ve been thinking about preparing for a mini book tour i don t think i did a good job of this when furious lullaby came out in 2007 around that time we found out that we were going to have a baby well guess what 2009 i m in the same predicament i wrote a book it got published we re going to have another baby i ve decided to stop writing books because of the repercussions so there you have it the real reason why i ve been a bad blogger i ve got stuff on my mind that i wasn t exactly prepared to share with the world so now i ve told my secrets what about yours currently eating a very weird taco salad wrap prepared by campus food services i also just appealed a gigantic parking ticket i know i was parked in the right zone perhaps i should take pictures gather witnesses current spin rabbit light movies it s not really a spin but i ve been watching all the videos posted by oliver de la paz at 6 06 pm 15 comments older posts home subscribe to posts atom about me oliver de la paz i teach creative writing at
