I've written eight pages of something.

Somebody has to read Germinal. It looks like it might be hard to read, but it's still a pretty conventional story, so I can't hope for any ghost/trance/dream Post-Modern rambles. Not that that would be much of a problem, since I seem to have gotten in the habit of writing down my dreams. I almost want to ( Read more... )

"I like managing a nursing home because the residents are a captive audience for my jokes," [hmmm-hmm-hm] told me. I was at the Third Street Nursing Home to help with a quilting project.

I called the [college] Admissions office to ask if I could turn in my [college] Fellows confirmation (surely it can't hurt to be one) since the post office wasn't open today for Ronald Reagan-related reasons. A familiar voice picked up on the other end, "B. Poland ( Read more... )

I called "T. Culhan", the registrar. He was positive about my wanting to take French, but there were plenty of buts: the price, the schedule, and registration limits. His suggestion was "Jeanne D'Arc" . To give myself some inside credibility and remove some pressure from myself, I mentioned "Rachel", and her belief that I should take "Food for ( Read more... )
