    I was going to write something yesterday, but I was so rudely interrupted by a two and a half hour phone call………………….   Bleh. In a way, I feel like I’m in a pretty good place in my life right now. It’s certainly not perfect by any means, but I’m working (sorta), being a good sister, Read more

    I’ve been feeling pretty odd lately on several different fronts. It’s about time for me to return to Florida, as per Jason and my agreement from February.  I’m supposed to go down there for a couple of months and then both of us head back to Indiana in late July for Gencon and his vacation.

    Another odd day. Yesterday, I had the full intention of going to the gym, doing homework, and eating a pint of Arctic Zero I bought for myself.   Rather, little sister bought for me at the same time she bought herself B&J’s Cinnamon Bun, which disappeared after two days. I opened my eyes this morning, about Read more

    Saving throw failed. I didn’t see Us today, but I kind of knew I wasn’t going to when I finished the blog yesterday.  But, you know, that’s okay. I’m kind of used to getting my hopes up and then letting myself down.   It’s a tedious process but makes it sweeter when I actually do follow Read more

    I talked myself out of seeing a movie. I heard that US was a psychological horror flick with tones of anti-socialism and groupthink.  It’s a bit bloody, kind of funny, and would take many viewings to catch the entire meaning. I was going to watch it yesterday but sabotaged myself by staying too long at Read more

    I have a love/hate relationship with this time of year. I can see the faded green coming back in winter scorched tree bark….. ………. Grrrr… I love spring, okay. Spring is coming, but it hasn’t sprung just yet. It’s trying.   Starts of Easter Lillies are pushing up from the grown.   There’s green.   I see buds Read more

    Today is the last day of the first week of the March semester. Geez, that sentence just looks weird, doesn’t it? The good thing is that I have a co-teacher to share my ENGL102 misery with.   102 is the next to lowest English class.   It generally involves a lot of hand-holding and really panicked students.  Read more

    This is really kind of an odd day. I decided to stay in instead of sneaking out to the gym for four hours. I think it made mom happy.  I tend to never ever ever spend a full day at home  … which is a sever change in my personality that was brought about by Read more

  • On an island.

    There once was a man who lived on a small island.  Coming from a fairly well-off family, he desired political power and, eventually got it through various and, sometimes, not-so-nice means. But, during this time, he built roads, opened a record number of schools, and was honored with numerous awards and certificates, including the Chinese Read more

    Yeah, okay, I’m a sucker. I accepted that guy’s super late and ‘hey you’ email.  It didn’t change the outcome so I didn’t have to bother with a change-o-grade form.  But, it’s done and graded.   I’m hoping that he’ll learn a non-existant lesson to be more considerate to adjuncts in the future, but who am Read more
