I saw Hereditary yesterday. It was a 1:10 showing and about a handful of people where there. One was a child – a girl I think – maybe 13ish. She was sitting behind me and, as far as I know, watched the whole thing. This was my third movie I’ve treated myself to in the… Read more

In case you didn’t know or I haven’t mentioned it or whatever, I live on a dead end street. There’s one way in. There’s one way out. They happen to be the same way over a railroad track. And, I just found out, it’s like this since 1918. Dern man, right? When I returned from… 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. I’ve learned through experience and time, a lot of instructors don’t approach the grammar issue. Maybe… Read more

As soon as I walked in, this wedding dress, shining white with silk, lace, and bows, was waiting to greet me. It was wrapped around an immaculate headless… Read more

Yesterday, we had another school shooting. And yesterday, yet again, a lot of people blamed video games, guns, bullying, ect ect ect. At this point, I really don’t think anything is really be done. Suggestions to stop or deter it has been teachers carrying guns, which I’m oddly for. Having worked in a public school… Read more

This year has been particularly difficult on my mom. She’s homebound, probably in some pain, and can’t do yard work or do a garden, which some of her favorite things in the world. After everything and yadda yadda yadda, I’m glad she’s still with me, despite how ornery she is. I know she’s ornery. It… Read more

Hey lolly lolly, a new term started. I’m monitoring ENGL102, which is a basic class, one step up from very basic, but students are required to take it. It’s a small paycheck, but it’s a paycheck. A while back, this college started to attach co-instructors to the basic classes. At first, I wasn’t overly thrilled. … Read more
