This song is on a weird compilation that Todd bought me for some holiday, Songs for Japan. I love half the songs, hate half. But this is on frequent repeat in the car. Makes me happy every time. I have a thing for My Bobby D, but even if you don’t it is a good one.

28 NovI bought my first box of Crest 3d Whitestrips. I am hoping that whiter teeth will dramatically improve 1)how I look and 2)my life outlook.
I used a coupon. This despite an unfortunate vacation viewing of EXTREME COUPONING that made me kind of hate Americans. I won’t subject you to my rant, but I have lots of thoughts about getting something for nothing.
Anyway, I should be seeing Dramatic Results in Just 3 Days. Mark it on your calendar!

28 NovRecognize up front that I know I sound not so good in this story.
I was nominated this semester for Teacher of the Year at the college where I have been adjunct since 2001. This involved the most painful 30 minutes of my life wherein I had to sit outside my classroom while someone talked to my class about me. Every awkward feeling I’ve ever had, amplified.
The prize if I won said honor? A parking place with my name on it for the whole year. At a campus where I don’t teach. But still, imagine the photo opportunities!
While away this week, I got an email (followed up with a letter waiting at home) telling me that I didn’t win. Fine. The individual who did win is a karate instructor. Somehow this is bothersome to me. Karate is well and good, but…really? Do they even have homework in karate class? Come on now.
Fine!
25 NovComplainers, I hear you. A new blog. Don’t advertise it. Hoping that without my full name, weirdos who read stuff I publish won’t be able to track me down. Did I tell you that I got 500 hits one day, after I made my blog private, after my essay got discussed on the Washington Post? Until I win the Pulitzer, I’m not into that.
Anyway, we are on vacay so there won’t be a lot here for a couple days, but I’m back. So there!
