I made myself pancakes to pass the time. Now I feel bloated and gigantic.
I'm going to try sleeping again. Man, what I wouldn't give for an effective non-altering painkiller.
I've seen honest faces before. They usually come attached to liars.

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

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I would think overnight shifters would have to be paid for the hours worked in each instance. It might not be all the same people working the shift in the spring.
Ben Affleck was pretty funny on SNL -- clearly he came in with impressions prepared!
He cracked himself up a couple of times doing Olbermann.
Even McCain was funny. He was at least willing to make fun of himself. When Palin was on I'm sure she was trying to show what a good sport she was, but she didn't actually participate in any jokes. It was weird and a little creepy.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, McCain was all right.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I've had an orange mango banana Vivanno and I'm avoiding the treadmill. I guess watching the Sunday political lineup could be my reward for an hour but man, I'm lazy.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Oh damn you, Berkeley Breathed--
Damned allergies.
Awwww. Goodnight, Opus.
I can't get Berkeley Breathed's Web site to load; I'm sure it's getting more hits today than it's ever gotten.

Yeah, I couldn't get it to load either.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
I can see all the students who "borrowed" something from the costume shop to wear for Halloween without asking! I am so tempted to comment asking if they plan on drycleaning before returning!
Oh, you SO should. Just tell them to in comments. "You look GREAT -- be sure you dryclean that before you bring it back."

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
So. Damn. Angry. With. My. Student.
Sigh.
I'm at Starbucks and I've been grading for over an hour now. My students turned in 6-10 page papers on King Lear, using secondary sources.
And one girl literally copied 20 pages of Spark Notes, slapped her name on. In the reflection, she wrote about the whole thing was hard and how her paper was erased 3 times so she gave up then she still turned in that shit.
ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING?
Upside is one less paper to read.

I was showing Matilda pictures online and she declared, "I like the Baby Dylan."

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I'm feeling a lot better this morning. Thanks, Kat, for chatting with me last night.
I went and got a bagel with lox and cream cheese, and had breakfast in Prospect Park this morning. It was nice, the foliage is at its peak right now, but unfortunately, it didn't warm up this morning as much as I thought it would. So now I'm back home.
