Rejects
Posted: October 11th, 2009 | Filed under: Sketches in Time and Space
For a few months now, every time I thought twice about posting a status update or comment on Facebook I pasted it to a local document instead. For some reason, this has cured me of the practice - Now I either post things without any thought, or it doesn’t occur to me to post anything. Also, now I have this amusing list, in roughly chronological order, of the past few months’ rejects:
struggling to stay on task.
wondering what will replace the restlessness.
via my cousin, via Terry Eagleton: “Radicals are those who believe that things are extremely bad with us, but they could feasibly be much improved. Conservatives believe that things are pretty bad, but that’s just the way the human animal is. And liberals believe that there’s a little bit of good and bad in all of us.” [take that for a quiz, FB]
left-to-do in July: paint kitchen, install kitchen floor/cabinets/appliances, re-install trim and doors in basement, 1 new bathroom floor, 2 new bathroom sinks, 1 new bathroom toilet. Pester the roof guy, pester the hot-water-heater guy, pester the insulation guy. Haul away trash. Then move.
carving out a special place in my head where I shall retreat during upcoming faculty meetings
Sam: You know … not everybody likes to lay their guts out on the table like that, Tara.
Tara: Yeah, they might not like it, but they all dream about finding somebody they can do it with.
ha and it’s free on our local provider this month. I totally spotted that.
like pouring cranberry juice into the bay…
well, OK, but a virtual hug is all you get.
This would be awesome to run with a sampler, a la Kathy McGinty.
looking forward to the District 9 movie later this month.
Chambana-dwellers: Pitchfork reports that Sufjan Stevens will be playing the Highdive next month - no details on tickets yet, and I can’t say I even listen to him all that much, but I’m sure sorry I missed his last visit to C/U.
Ha, boys have it easy like that.
Most boring concert I ever attended. (And it was at Calvin.)
Somebody help me get some perspective here. The administrative dysfunction in my school has already filled my shoulders and neck, and classes haven’t even started.
Tracy, we should chat about this if you’re even halfway serious…you could probably do this with us for no money
We’re stubborn like that.
Have you even BEEN to Waffle House?
Ever since I got my first pager, and long into the cell phone era, I get ghost vibrations in the part of my leg where I keep the phone.
Oh it’s THAT guy….
reviewing basic semiotics for teaching tomorrow. Begin witty comments now.
The thought of living to see Halley’s comet again is like looking over the rail of a great height.
The people on the listserv associated with my former neighborhood are discussing what one can smoke in a glass pipe.
