Anna and the King of Poutine

I keep saying that I’m going to get back to posting regularly and I keep breaking that promise. I apologize. Today I clearly have the time, the energy, and things to write about; that is enough to motivate me.  This is spirit week at school, each day has its own theme. Monday was Pajama Day […]

Looks Like a Penguin

I was about to record Gord’s Gold when the people above me started playing music. It’s my own fault, I prepared the show on Thanksgiving; I should have recorded it yesterday. I wasted far too much time. What was meant to be my early afternoon trip to Trader Joe’s did not start until after 4:00. […]

Another Thanksgiving Dinner That Couldn’t Be Beat

I’m home, relaxed, and ready to write. How did I spend my Thanksgiving? Alone in my apartment that I never left. I never got dressed. That’s always a great luxury. I had long satisfying conversations with two friends which kept the loneliness at bay. For dinner I ordered a duck from Chinese restaurant via GrubHub. […]

A miracle I’m writing. Work has been frustrating, I’ll leave it at that.  O friends, no more these sounds! Let us sing more cheerful songs, more full of joy! Raise your hand if you know what I am quoting. Why do I always see the same hands? Yes, it’s the introduction to Ode to Joy […]

Leopoldstadt Forever

Big news, I’m alive and blogging. I thought I had this working and blogging thing worked out, but I didn’t. Midterms through me off. Today I gave a makeup midterm so didn’t have time to write. It’s now 7:04 and I’m not exhausted, and I already watched Last Week Tonight so I will write. I […]

Alex Battling Depression

We’ve been having midterms and I’ve had trouble finding the time to write. What exciting things have happened? On Friday night I went to see Alex Battle at Sunny’s at the other end of the universe, aka Red Hook. It takes an hour and a half to get there. I had never seen Alex but […]

This is midterm week and all my regular routines are upset. I have a two hour break until a meeting so I’m taking advantage of that to write. This week we have short schedules, each class is 0nly 20 minutes, enough time to take attendance and maybe a problem or two. Then there’s a two […]

Jill the Giant Killer

I’m getting better about writing. That is both therapeutic and a good sign for my mental health. The Monday that started Thursday afternoon continued though to yesterday. On Thursday I got my flu shot. Even in the midst of a prolonged Monday that was not a problem and I urge all of my Gentle Readers […]

The Monday that Came on Thursday

Yay! I’m writing two days in a row. Let’s see if I can go back to doing this every day. Blogging is part of my sense of self. What else are parts of my sense of self? I was going to say DJ but that’s part of my man about folk. I’m a radical empiricist. […]

Piece of Cake

Once again I’m writing from the couch in the teacher’s lounge. I miss having an office. I’m alone now so I can get things done. Have I done anything exciting since my last post? I made up the precalculus midterm. I was a little out of practice and had to recreate some of my methods […]
