You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
Dear GOD, Ryan just gets cuter! How is that even possible?
A little Lack-of-Political-Unrest-ma would be very gratefully received; tomorrow the court case which has been ongoing since the Coup 3 years ago should reach its conclusion. (To decide whether all of the deposed prime minister's ill-gotten (?) gains can be legally siezed by the government, or should be his own personal property.) One side is going to be very pissed off, whatever the ruling ends up being - there were some demonstrations last week, lots of armed police about, but they were fairly minor. Hopefully it will all be peaceful and chilled and Buddhist and not big and scary, but we're all kind of nervous about how things might unfold. A little -ma would be appreciated.

“Not dead yet!”

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I just heard that J and I will be on Hammer Heads, our most fave HGTV show. They will be here in April and redo our front yard! First we celebrate, then we diet.

Happy March!
Donors Choose is running a March Match Madness campaign. For every donation made through a teacher's personal page, they will match it. I have a grant I'm trying to fund for some math texts (seriously!) for my academic decathlon team/class. Buffistas have always been exceedingly generous; if you have a few dollars to spare, I'd love the support. We are ~$100 away from our goal. Please donate!
My page is www.donorschoose.org/kgullo. Thanks!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
It's been a while since I had some good news to post here, and while this isn't a permanent job... at least it's a job, and should be interesting for six weeks: I'll be starting training for a US Census enumerator on March 24th, and should be working through April.
