Tonight in NYC: The Hives, Webster Hall, 124 E 11th Street  


I've missed them twice before. Once in DC. Once in Dublin. Each time by a cruel twist of fate. This time its personal. Tonight, by the grace of God, I will bear witness to Sweden's greatest Rock 'n' Roll band ever: The Hives. Their new album hasn't exactly rocked my world. But I expect that they'll put on a great show nonetheless.

Proposal Passed! 


Well, just to let you know I passed my thesis proposal. So it is now official. I am ABD (All But Dissertation). The questions were fair. However, I somehow felt that my answers did not even nearly reflect how much work I put into this over the past six months. Six months! Can you believe that? Still, what matters is that I am through and now I have to write this thing.

My Second Entry - Good News? 


I don't want to take up too much space on this blog with details from my personal life but this is important news for me on many levels. It seems that at least two of my PhD committee members like the current draft of my proposal (you can download this from my iDisk). I may be able to defend it as soon as next week. Once this phase is over I'll be able to get onto the work proper. I've been working on this since the summer so this feels long overdue.

My First Entry 


Welcome, dear reader, to my NervousFishblog. These pages will contain my musing on many issues, spanning a diverse range of concerns. However, the primary purpose I have in mind for this blog is to act as a sort of public notepad for my PhD research. If you don't know me, I am a student of Public and International Affairs at Virginia Tech. My main research area is international relations theory and I am essentially interested in how IR theorists think about Empire and Imperialism.
