Joan and I are married on facebook now.
THIS IS THE HAPPIEST DAY OF MY LIFE
Mental Health Day
I toyed with the idea all week that I’d call in sick today so that I could get some sleep and de-stress, and I’d all but decided not to do it…until I started to get a scratchy throat yesterday and said, well, fuck it. I have only gotten out of bed to pee thus far (which is a lot—I’m probably overhydrating out of paranoia), and I’m still feeling pretty okay. ...

Today in singing
Adele’s vocal surgery was apparently “to stop recurrent vocal cord hemorrhage (bleeding) from a benign polyp.”
WHAT THE FUCK
That is code for “your voice is screwed, kthx.” Also, if you google image search “vocal hemorrhage” (I don’t recommend doing this unless you have a strong stomach/are used to looking at vocal folds), a bunch of pictures of Adele come...

if everything happens that can't be done
eecummingspoetry:
if everything happens that can’t be done (and anything’s righter than books could plan) the stupidest teacher will almost guess (with a run skip around we go yes) there’s nothing as something as one
one hasn’t a why or because or although (and buds know better than books don’t grow) one’s anything old being everything new (with a what which around we come who) ...

I’m feeling a little sick today and if it turns into a full blown cold I think I’m just going to cry for an entire day.
Car Troubles
My car was running hot on the way to school this morning, and when I checked under the hood, it is almost completely out of antifreeze. Hoping I don’t have a leak somewhere, but I suppose I could have worse problems than that! And at least I have a ride to rehearsal tonight. Phew. Hang in there, cherry car!

PLEASE PUT CHEESE ON THEM FOR ME. THIS IS BRILLIANT.
I honestly don’t know why this is so funny but dyingggggg

Teaching at a public school
is oh so much more than teaching. Aspiring teachers, beware: as if being in front of kids every day isn’t exhausting enough, bureaucracy and other sundry “duties to the school” will get you.
i go to this window
eecummingspoetry:
i go to this window
just as day dissolves
when it is twilight(and
looking up in fear
i see the new moon
thinner than a hair)
making me feel
how myself has been coarse and dull
compared with you, silently who are
and cling
to my mind always
But now she sharpens and becomes crisper
until i smile with knowing
-and all about
herself
the sprouting largest final...

Watching The Social Network
because I have a big dick for Harvard things, apparently? I also just consumed half a pint of butter pecan ice cream and an entire bag of popcorn, and I actually don’t feel disgusting. I can conquer the fucking world.

with butter instead of olive oil, pecorino romano instead of parmigiano, hold the artichokes and parsley. Ohgod so delicious. I also whipped up a pot of Tupelo Honey tomato soup, which I will adamantly insist that I take over to Harvard boy (who is sick again), if he’ll ever answer his phone.

I did that Colorgenics thing
and it is also freakishly accurate, cinnamonbunza.
You are a very sensitive person and you try hard (perhaps a little too hard) to make favourable impressions and to be recognised by your peers. But you have that inherent need to feel appreciated and admired and you are easily hurt if all of your endeavours go by unappreciated or not acknowledged. Stop trying so hard.
You enjoy taking part in...

What this weather I don't even
It’s been humid and gross outside this week (albeit warm, which is nice), and I’m having all kinds of reactions to it. It’s making my skin extra oily and nasty. It’s making it humid inside, which causes my coworkers to turn on the A/C, which in turn dries out my sinuses…so, it’s incredibly humid, but my nose and throat are sore. It’s dreary, which makes...
Today is one of those days where
I just want to lie in bed and sleep and roll around and make out with David Tennant, nbd.
I have a weakness for
among other things, those Mexican seven layer dips. Holy god I could eat an entire one by myself.

"Sweetening the Pill" blog →
My dad sent me an article informing me of the birth control pill recall (he doesn’t want me to get pregnant as much as I don’t want to get pregnant), and in it, there was a link to the above blog. (See if your pills were recalled here.) After scrolling through a few posts, my overall reaction was “WTF.” These women are writing in opposition to the pill, claiming that its...

This is the part of work
where I somehow have managed to avoid having a responsibility for 45 minutes so I sit in the dark and listen to the Virtual Choir 3 video, which I have decided to upload last-minute since the deadline got extended by a day. And contemplate napping. Teach all the maths?

Things that happen at work, part the second
Facebook chatting Richard, in which the topics of conversation go from Feelings to sex to work to gin to how to fold notes in little squares like we did in high school. We’re cool kids.

After the Super Bowl this Sunday, it will officially be basketball season and I will be able to return to not giving any fucks about football and start thinking about my bracket for March Madness. Football takes up way too much of the year! It should be over in December, if not November. I do enjoy it, but not the postseason. NCAA basketball all the way!

Things that happen at work
My student who left the school came by to say hello today!
I have a student whose father is getting deported.
We’re trying to convince someone’s student that January has 32 days.
Sometimes my kids don’t know what a sphere is.

On Myself and Relationships
I’ve pretty much figured out that I don’t remember what it’s like to be in a healthy relationship anymore and that I don’t know how to act now that I have some semblance of one.
Maybe it’s that my ability to trust people has finally been worn down by “it’s not you, it’s me” and broken promises. I find myself incapable of taking a leap of...
