oh geez

Scraped my knees up PRETTY BAD when I fell on my face after tripping over a cord in my classroom while teaching this morning.

Is it fair for me to use this as an example to show my students what I expect?

I could cry I love her section on feminism so much (It starts around 15:00 but everything before it is awesome, so skipping ahead is probably not a good idea):

"But um, it's not the age of women unless it can be the age of girls, too."

Worst moderator ever.

okayyyyy

"please god don't let someone come outside right now." "please god let someone!"

Last night as Jess and I were about to get out of the car after dinner, Delilah played The Pretenders' "I'll Stand By You." So we didn't get out of the car. She turned off the engine and the lights and turned up the volume and we sat there in the dark behind our apartment building singing.

It reminded me of a time about twelve or so years ago when I was coming home from somewhere with my Dad. It was nighttime that time, too, and we pulled into the garage just as Elton John's "Someone Saved My Life Tonight" came on the radio. We did then exactly what Jess and I did last night.

Weird parallel memories. Not afraid to admit to liking both of those songs.

(This video is ridiculous, by the way. Ridiculous but awesome.)

lovely views

Since I'd borrowed Mom and Dad's car for a couple of days this week, I used it to take Eoin and Finola up to Chicago for a visit yesterday.


And took the train back to C-U this morning.
