Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Hey Sophia! That is classic. I always triple-check "public." Did you get my email last week?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

Jesse- yes I did!

I thought I replied! Because that picture looked exactly like me, down to the hair-cut , glasses, odd-face shape, and clothing. People in real life that I showed it to thought it was me until I pointed out that it was taken in 1967.

{{{Laura}}}

public and organism-- good words to triple check.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Someone gave me a great suggestion - delete words like pubic from your Word dictionary, so it will never substitute them and if they find their way into your document, it'll call them out.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

I always use metaphors to teach stuff that people aren't getting when I describe them literally.

This works for me conceptually. (But not for things like physical motion.) Actually I have a whole treasure-hoard of metaphors to explain things I cannot actually explain without metaphor. Basically, 80% of my science is metaphorical.

It's a metaphor world.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

My solution to my pivot problem was to say fuck it. I explained pivoting, I demonstrated pivoting, but I didn't correct non-pivoters. And I won't, for the rest of the week. There are 17 level 1 classes a week. They have 14 chances to get pivoting explained to them a new way.

Meanwhile, I need to let it go a bit. Next week, we'll be back on the pivot train ("Make sure your weight is on the ball of your foot when you turn your ankle out -- like crushing a cigarette into the ground.")

Before pivoting, it was fighting stance that was driving me bonkers. But I found a key (or three) to that, so I never had to face this frustration.

eta: About 24 -- I love the moment during that first call when Jack must have realised he's never tapping that ass again. Just as well, since I think he's transferred his true devotion to Paul. Catfight!

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Bwah! It's funny 'cause it's true!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
