It's five am (ish)(do you know where your children are?). I just ate some kashi. I just did a cartwheel in my living room. I am dazed. I am going to go to sleep soon, out of necessity ( Read more... )

I spent 7.5 hours at the MFA yesterday in two shifts, which was delightful. Like having a mental map of the T (though I absolutely do not have a mental map of Greater Boston, since I just connected the two sides of the Charles), I value familiarity with that kind of a communal space. Also, shared experiences. Going to concerts with friends, dancing ( Read more... )

Wolf Blitzer bears striking resemblance to a Furby. The rimless round glasses contribute substantially, as well as general fuzziness. Also, Wolf Blitzer could easily be a cartoon character name. Youtube question submission shouldn't be foreign if we've had Furby asking questions (though Wolf is predictable ( Read more... )

This, written by Andrew and Andrew's friend, 7th graders at the Timilty School:
(Jenna and I tutor Andrew in Roxbury. Unfortunately, I've never met Andrew's friend.)

Global Warming, it stinks like poo
we're trying to figure out what we got to do
we're trying to find a loophole- the man won't let us through

Facebook has never been a problem for me because I rarely have the urge to delve into other peoples' lives, or I do, but facebook doesn't offer anything I want to know. Today I had a lapse in judgment.  I just read a wall-to-wall that made me want to wither. Or do that thing that brittany does involving panicked breathing and maniacal fast-talking ( Read more... )

Thomas Paine, Paine, go away, come again some other day when I am not sick and sleepy but unable to sleep and unwilling to read you. Also, T Pain, go away ( Read more... )

I took a nap after work and upon waking up had no idea what day it was. I preemptively put on flannel sheets awhile ago but it still hasn't gotten cold ( Read more... )

My house smells like apple pie but the pie is not for me, no.

I sprained my ankle again today! I ran on the street where I sprained it last, got a little freaked out when I saw the gash in the road (thankfully, the one-eyed cat wasn't there.) Ran home. Within fifty meters of my house, stepped on a chestnut hidden by leaves and fell. Sprained ankles ( Read more... )

Let's all go see Barack and Deval speak.
6:30 pm Tuesday, Boston Common.
I think this is an extremely valid reason to postpone homework. Let's all go.

Swishy swishy silk pants moving like Tweedle Dee, around impossible tiny legs tapered from impossibly bulky torso, precarious! We don't say dumb here but if this mother was mine I would be a doorknob. I'm not but no efficacy even though Sam says I have the power to produce an effect, to mobilize available resources to solve problems and promote ( Read more... )
