Deni Bonet Via ChatGPT

I’m not sure if I’ll have time to write today so I asked ChatGPT to write about Deni Bonet’s concert last night in my style. This is what it came up with. She was not joined by young musicians other than her usual bandmate Chris Flynn. The rest was written by Chat GPT. Last night, […]

I’m back! My shoulder and back are still sore but I am going to try and write today because I’ve been busy and want to catch up. Writing is good for my soul. I was going to write that writing is good for my mental health which seems more fitting for an anti-mystic rationalist. The […]

Horvendile In A Roman Field

I told my therapist something that turned out to not be true. I told her that I’d blog right after our session, before I catch up on the TV I’ve missed or eating, because I’m trying to get back in the habit and I want My Gentle Readers to know how important they are to […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

Laughing is a Cin…dy

Welcome to the second written in school edition of Wise Madness. I hate not blogging every day. The problem is that I have only four hours a day to get everything other than sleeping, commuting, and working, to live my life. I am living like most of the world for the first time in ages. […]

The Tuesday that Started as a Monday and ended as a Saturday

Dateline School: I’m trying something new, writing during a free period at school. I have no time for writing when I get home and I’m often too tired. Let’s see if this can become the new normal. Unfortunately I’m on a school issued Mac and don’t have Word. I’m writing this on Google Docs. I’ll […]
