There are some days when my life feels more random and bizarre than usual. For instance, this afternoon, I’m sitting in my office with Buster up in front of me and some library books scattered all over the place. One is on American graffiti, another is a book about insults, and a third is on bad behavior. I’m working on typing notes up on Buster while watching old horror movies from Continue reading →

Jingle all the way

Oh what fun Continue reading →

I don’t read the news, and not having cable or satellite, I don’t watch the news either. What news I tend to get is from my officemate who does read the news or from the radio driving to and from work. Oddly, the vast majority of the news I get comes from the webcomics I read. Comics, like sitcoms and stand-up comedians, have the tendancy to deal with topical humor/drama such as the Continue reading →

I wonder how much water is in an apple, a banana, a head of lettuce, two cups of tea and two cups of instant Lipton Cup-A-Soup. No wonder I have been in and out of the bathroom all morning and afternoon. Can we spell “hydrated”? Apparently I can ’cause I just typed it. 🙂 I don’t know if I should get anymore to drink, but I really want a Mello Yello. Dilemmas, dilemmas. Continue reading →

Acorns adorn webbing forlorn. Candy cane fiber? Spearmint, dear mint, how does your caffeine flow? The Private Spa Collection causes noses to run more than faucets. Embrace today. Back scratchers become cat scratchers where there is ribbon involved. Try to cook the tuna. Just try. One-armed coat. Cream soda float. Mr. Stinky Goat. Mint tea or urine? Pull away from the pan. Continue reading →

Well, now that I got the Christmas thing off my mind for a while, I’m gonna meander on into other regions of my mind which have been wandering around aimlessly for a while now. Um, we’ll start with the Mom-mobile. A little while back, we took her in to get the oil changed, and the Wal-Mart dude wouldn’t do it ’cause he said there was damage to the oil pan. So we waited until we had a Continue reading →

I really don’t have any one thing to ramble about, but I feel like posting anyway so we’ll just see where this rant goes. I’m substituting for Susan, my supervisor, again this week and next because she’s flying back down to Florida for take #2 of her daughter’s wedding (the first attempt was hurricaned out). I get to grade their in-class presentations. My class is doing theirs next week. I’ve Continue reading →

ID or “intelligent design” is funny in so many ways. Its inception as an explanation to the creation of the universe and all the life in it tries to parallel other creationist beliefs counter to a purely scientific route. It has spawned many hilarious parodies such as the almighty Flying Spaghetti Monster, and it has become the butt of jokes of organizations and institutions all over the place, rebutted even by Continue reading →

Happy Dent Day! Today is the day that I was endowed with the dent. Or would it be indowed? Hehehe. At any rate, I don’t have time for a big post or anything since I have to go teach in about ten minutes, but I at least wanted to post something since I haven’t in a couple days or thereabouts. Students constantly coming in and grading off and on keep me from doing much Continue reading →

Carved turkey on a black platter. Apples tinged with rose and rum. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Blue-eyed fangs. Was I standing up too close or back too far? Marinated. FCC regulations apply. Feathery green wings sing with blown noses. Spirals crawl on walls to reach leafy heights. Noitide. Egelloc. Koobeton. Tcejbus. Eno. Why do green staplers eat my students’ papers? Parce que j’ai Continue reading →
