The bad feelings: well, I've done it. I've made myself sick. I really think it was the Sunny Delight (cheaper than orange juice) last night that did it. I think there is an unnatural amount of acid in that stuff. I spent most of last night in an Orlando Bloom-fest to make myself feel better. Pirates of the Caribbean and LOTR--Two Towers. I ( Read more... )

so I'm home a lot during the day. I have my schedule for what TV shows I watch and when. at 10:30 I flip between "Starting Over" (reality TV show for middle-aged women who hate their lives) and "Dharma and Greg." Today's episode of D&G had a very applicable message for me. When you are a bad person, your body tells you by making you sick ( Read more... )

C--don't tell your husband that there is still a 25% chance of me getting lucky on our date. He might get jealous!!!

You know, it is always interesting checking email at the library. You never know what you are going to get. Usually, there are tons of kids running around (and I'm glad they are running around the library and maybe picking up some useful knowledge instead of being hooligans). Fortunately, I am using a computer that was made after 1985 (which is ( Read more... )

Semi-eventful weekend to report. Friday night went to T's brother's wedding. The wedding was outside in an ampitheatre overlooking the Flatirons and Boulder. It was kind of rainy and misty, so it made the mountains very beautiful. The ceremony was nice (it was hard for me to concentrate, I was watching the scenery). They had their dog as the ( Read more... )

Its office hours right now. And I am reading an article from a Canadian Graduate Student Journal about what teachers should do when their undergrads have a crush on them. And of course the headline says, in super bold red letters, "HOT FOR TEACHER." Ok, this is not all bad until one of my students comes in and I don't think to minimize that ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning not feeling so good: headache and sore throat. So, when I got to work, I got a big coffee and a huge jug of orange juice. I thought I was being super smart in keeping up the vitamin C. Unfortunately, I drank the entire jug without eating anything first. So, now I can just feel the citric acid burning a hole through my ( Read more... )

Just because I'm in a different time zone, I look like the schmuck who forgot. But I didn't this time.

Anyway, Feliz Cumpleanos. Happy Birthday. Matzeltopf. And any other language you can say happy b-day in.

I actually have several things on my mind, so might just make them several different entries ( Read more... )

grading papers. which means that since I have to read them, yall have to listen to me bitch about them. So far I'm just reading rough drafts. But my fingers hurt from typing so much on the past 2 I've read. 3 more to go. Maybe I need a new computer instead. But after this week, no more class. I'll pack up my office and spend the next 3 weeks ( Read more... )
