In Fifty Years
Today Mom turns fifty. It’s an amazing number if you think about it. Whole art movements have come into fashion and fizzled out in fifty years. Families have been born, fractured, and reborn in that span of time. Loves are found. Goals are met. And when I look back at fifty, I hope that I [...]
Here I am !! = PW
I am sitting at Denver International Airpport, waiting for my sister to show up. This is going to be more hectic than I first imagined, as there are many places to go in the next 24 hours. So, this may be my only post for today, but I would like to thank Julie for waking [...]
The day before tomorrow
Finally spoke with Alexis last night. It doesn’t matter what kind of a mood I am in (I was in a great mood because I got an A on my midterm in N. Ren), she makes me happier. My sister is gleeful. That’s really the only way I can describe it. She’s gleefully stubborn. When [...]
Fighting Against the Inept
Last night, my Humanities professor made me lose my temper and also pushed the two other seniors to tears. Her inept teaching style and refusal to take responsibility for the issues the seniors are having is crap. Her unprofessionalism frightens me. I can honestly say that I have learned nearly nothing in this class, and [...]
Black Cat Monday
It’s Monday. I was eager to come to work and mosey through till Wednesday. That eagerness is gone. I take comfort in my Precious, Voodoo’s inability to sit still and the joy of podcasts. I will not allow anyone to make me lose my temper nor unhinge my emotions. I have enough shit to worry [...]
My Precious
My birthday/ anniversary/ Samhain/ Solstice/ Christmas/ Easter present came in today. We picked her up this afternoon and then headed to West Orange for a test ride. My legs feel different, more worked out and I caught up with D for a while, even drafting off him. She is a 2006 Specialized Dolce Elite. The [...]
Because it’s Friday!
I listened to a podcast yesterday, and I think it was from NPR about a class being taught at Harvard. It’s a bit odd because the class is essentially about positive thinking and the power of the mind of trials and tribulations. On that note, I am going to share a list with you of [...]
The Last Semester
My insider got a copy (a working copy) of the fall schedule. I am going to take Edititng Essentials and Geosphere. I would love to take Bioshphere but it’s a Monday/Wednesday class and my Editing class is on that Wednesday. The Geosphere will be Tuesday/Thursday. I don’t know what the last class will be, but [...]
Tummy Ache
I just ate a package of wafer cookies. I think I am going to puke. Ugh. This is what happens when I forget to bring my damn snacks! That infernal snack machine gets me every time. I think I am going to hurl.
Hello … o … o …. o
Where is everyone?
Bird Droppings Prompt Orlando Warning Signs
Is this really news? I laughed when I first read this because I didn’t realize that bird-shit was newsworthy. Then I forgot that I am in Orlando. And…well… poo on all of them. It’s obviously a slow news day.
Slink…or something …
I am working on a new thingy at work, I am going to be busy. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut…here are some links. New online service lets users swap CDs This is a little old, cleaning out the links I save, but I thought it was pretty cool. The Speed Trap Exchange This is a good place to look [...]
You passed the fuck out!!
“nap” is defined as: not sleeping through class and not a substitution for a full night’s rest. I vaguely remember sitting on the couch with D and telling him I was going to skip tonight because I am exhausted. I woke up about a half hour ago Yeah, it’s almost 10. I need to get [...]
Hidden Ingredients
Low-Fat Cinnamon Pop Tarts: Enriched wheat flour, sugar, brown sugar, dextrose, vegetable oil, high fructose corn syrup, cracker meal, glycerin, wheat starch, salt, leavening, cornstarch, cinnamon, sodium steraoyl lactylate, DATEM, gelatin, caramel color, Xanthan gum, niacinamide, reduced iron vitamin A palmitate, ..and then some shit that I can’t spell, much less pronounce. #1 – jesushfuckingchrist [...]
17 point curve
Where does the fault lie when a whole class bombs a test? I am thinking it’s with the professor. I read the works. I studied. No one in the class got above an 83, so she put a curve on the test to bring us all up to a decent grade, and then told us [...]
Lessons Learned
This weekend taught me a few things about relationships, what makes me happy, and the idea of forgiveness. Our plans to see a movie with Frankie fell away because of a miscommunication between D and I. I wanted to spare Frankie the post-fight tension. Do you know what is really amazing? I don’t really know [...]
57 Percent Don’t Use Turn Signals
Well no shit! I can’t believe that someone did a study on this. All they have to do is drive down Mills at ANY time and they would see these statistics.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
From Wikipedia! Saint Patrick’s Day (March 17) is a Catholic feast day which celebrates Saint Patrick (386-493), the patron saint of Ireland. It is a national holiday in the Republic of Ireland, Northern Ireland, the overseas territory of Montserrat and the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador. Saint Patrick’s Day is celebrated worldwide by Irish [...]
Stinky
Someone just farted as they walked by my desk. I think I am going to be ill.
Via lines and wires
I love ending my school-week with my Fiction workshop. It makes Monday’s bullshit less brutal. I’ve noticed that there’s a self-congradulatory nature to certain classmates, which is then reinforced by the professor. The interesting ones are the ones who are learning to write. They make my time go faster and I feel more productive. I [...]
