still no voice

Posted by: fiftypercentninja on: March 31, 2009

Awesome. I’m getting sick of pointing at things and hoarsely whispering. And I have no idea what I’m going to do for tomorrow’s lecture. Is there sign language for “heteronormative matrix”?
On the plus side, I think I finally finished my article today. I hope it’s done, anyway. I don’t know [...]

on having the plague

Posted by: fiftypercentninja on: March 30, 2009

Cancelled classes and stayed home today. Sick as a dog with this viral infection. It’s completely brutal. I’m shaking and shivering one minute, sweating like crazy the next. At one point, I was in a hot bath WITH GOOSEBUMPS. How does that even happen? I thought I had a [...]

on still having the plague

Posted by: fiftypercentninja on: March 28, 2009

Ugh.  Still sick.  Mornings are definitely the worst, though.  Dragging myself up and out of bed without a hot bath and a hot compress on my sinuses is basically impossible.  Am I dreading Monday?  Why yes, yes I am.
We were supposed to meet with the officiant yesterday but I’ve had to move it to Wednesday [...]

Having the plague and about twelve hours to grade a stack of essays. AT THE SAME TIME. I am so lucky.
It may be the advil talking, but I think these essays are substantially better.  Almost the whole class has gone up by like a third of a letter grade.  (It probably is the [...]

Dr Drew: Mostly he posts quotations, but they’re always good ones.
Christopher Walken: I’m told this one isn’t legit, but I don’t really care as the comedy I get from it is incredible. For example, “‘Secretary of Ironic Scarves.’ I don’t know if Obama read my letter but I hope so. Ashton Kutcher deserves this. So does [...]

on walk-in clinics

Posted by: fiftypercentninja on: March 23, 2009

I won’t complain any more.  Honestly, today’s experience was really good.  HLM’s only got a viral infection, it turns out, and the clinic staff was incredibly efficient and well-meaning.  They have a system worked out where you go in when it opens, sign up for an appointment time, and come back at your timeslot.  Way [...]

milk

Posted by: fiftypercentninja on: March 22, 2009

I may be the last person in the universe to have seen Milk, but holy hell it was amazing.  I love based-on-a-true-story movies anyway, but everything about Harvey Milk’s story really got to me.  I can’t believe how hostile people can be to change, and to anything that threatens their limiting, ignorant worldview.  Watching that [...]
