I think there’s something going on with me. Well, there always seems to be something going on, but I mean really going on. I haven’t wanted to write, play games, go outside… despite this being my second favorite time of the year. I don’t want to go to the doctor, take my meds, or watch… Read more

It’s that wonderful time in the semester where the rough drafts are due. – It is my job to tell a bunch of adults that their grammar is fairly sub-par in the worst cases and passible in the best.

If you’re around me long enough, you’ll figure out that I pin a lot of stuff on culture – particularly how men and women are treated, raised, and referred to. I know society isn’t to blame for all of our ills, it is a significant contributing factor that’s slow to change. Let’s start with some… Read more

Doctors up today: Shrink (again. Went yesterday – he’s on vacation next week, so going back today) Dietitian – I need to write the food journal thingy before I forget. Returning to work – adjuncting (is that a verb?) has been on my mind a lot for the past couple of days. I’ve started exchanging emails… Read more
