week in review
this week, so far, i have graded 43 papers. i have come within spitting distance of both david sedaris and peter singer. i realized that my weight has gone up in equivalent parallel to the conventions of vanity sizing in the last ten years. i gained insight into an article i've been working on--maybe a little too much insight. i somehow injured or twisted my shoulder pulling up my pants in the bathroom.** i finally went on a long-overdue shopping mission with B. i realized that i should take some of the same writing advice i give to my students. i realized i should not have volunteered to teach an extra class this quarter (for more time off later, but it wasn't time i could afford now). i finally cut some rastafarian-esque matts out of francis the kitty's fur.

Big week! Cut any matts of Singer or Sedaris, didja?
Sedaris. bliss.
your asterisked line has me laughing still. i've been there :)
When I first read you post, I thought you were in spitting distance of Pete Seeger, who until this vary moment I spent my entire life thinking was the real name of Bob Seger (from Silver Bullet Band fame).
I usually judge my distance from a band or famous person by how large a piece of fruit I could throw at them. Just a couple of weeks ago I could have chucked a whole watermelon at LeVar Buton.
