Reason #849 My Son Amazes Me
I checked on Ethan last night as I was going to bed and noticed his bedroom door was covered with two dozen yellow sticky notes. I crouched down to look at them and look at what I found: If you have a hard time reading this, it says “Tchaikovsky Music.” The ultimate bonus is the [...]

I finished my projects last night and sat down in front of the tube, but I was too wired to sit there. And so I ended up doing an amazing array of things until 5:30 in the morning. Luckily my first class was cancelled, so I was able to get a nice three hour nap [...]

Crap, crap, crap. Lots of writing and printing to do today and I have not only run out of paper, but ink as well. Crap! The last thing I want to do is go to the store. Let this week be over.

For some reason, this semester seems like it has been the least motivated, frustrating semester in a long while, not only for myself but all of my friends and classmates. Just yesterday, I received an email from my friend titled, “DO YOU HAVE A GLUESTICK?!” That is a sign of something, people, but I don’t [...]

The amount of sleep I got last night is so little it’s just stupid. I’m so tired I can’t see straight. On today’s agenda: Nap, walk to campus labs, caffeine, back to the computer. Let this week be over, amen.

Welcome to the obligatory end of semester procrastination post. Why, if it weren’t for this blog, I might be doing something else. Like writing the four papers due on Thursday. Tonight’s goals: Finish two 3 page papers. Email both to prof. Have thesis and opening statements for 3rd paper. Not get sidetracked by laundry, cat, [...]

I just got an email from the university telling me that I am “required to attend” an “Internet Workshop” for “mandatory internet training” because the school I am placed in for student teaching has “networked internet.” Good holy goddess. Shoot me.

I can’t help but quote this piece at length: The next time someone calls abortion a moral choice, I will ask him the results of his last prostate exam, or her the results of her pelvic exam. I expect they’ll tell me it’s none of my business. To which I’ll reply, “exactly.” The next time [...]

Getting Some Business Out of the Way, or The (Much) Shorter Version of What Happened Last Night No pies.† No streaking. Lots of heckling and a few protest signs. Horowitz did not convince me of the necessity for a Hoosier Academic Bill of Rights (HABR). The Longer Version, In Which I Realize that Horowitz is [...]

Bloomington that is. You may know my feelings on David Horowitz and his meddling in Hoosier affairs. He’ll be here on the Indiana University campus this Thursday for a stop on his whirlwind “Silencing the Liberal Majority” Tour. Here’s the listing from the Union Board: Date: Thursday, April 7, 2005 Time: 7 p.m. Location: IU [...]

I may be a bad person for finding this hilariously funny, but the poetic justice of this one is too beautiful to ignore. Oh, Schadenfreude. Via Bitch Ph.D. comes a digital smack-down in which a young woman gets the kind of education she definitely wasn’t looking for. A young woman on the Dean’s List of [...]
