I'm dying to know how Allyson is doing!

ita, does this mean no pedicure was had?

I'm in the airport now. Yay? Actually, yes. Yay! Free WiFi!

I think I'm going to save up my pennies for an iPhone because schlumping my laptop around is no fun.

You know, we could experiment and cancel football.

I just hope that Allyson has AC where she is. It is 95 degrees out and entirely too hot to be moving.

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

No, I'm having it. But I feel like cattle. I just need to get this done, make a quick supermarket run, and then pray I don't need an ER.

And, here I am in Denver where it is 43 degrees today going, "I'm FREEZING!!!"

Nice and toasty here! I wish I didn't have to hide.

I still can't believe I'll be in Denver for less than 24 hours.

I saw this great presentation on language and power and the colonial use of language vs. native languages. It was very inspiring. But I so do not have the time or energy to teach like that. And my unquiet mind kept thinking, "it's important to learn the language of power too." If you only speak a native language you lose access to some social mobility!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Wow, it's been quiet here...

I'm watching the NFL draft. It's pretty exciting around here. Or not.

HEre's hoping that Allyson's move went smoothly!
