Chrissake. I should be able to stupid trust [wheeze] my stupid brain [wheeze]to keep me alive while I sleep.

That one thing that happened:

It makes more sense from the standpoint of an impartial observer.

TV

I love TV! It's like having a roomate with a closed head injury.

Muzio Clementi unplugged

Szokoly's recording of the 6 Progressive Sonatinas [op 36] confronts the music world with these shocking revelations:

#1: You are not the only person in the world who has heard the sonatinas.

#2: The sonatinas are not the exclusive property of the Suzuki method of piano study.

Any time I am romantically involved with a man, I steal his pyjamas. And then when the man is gone and I'm going out to get a burrito, I pull the toggles on the fubu hoodie around my face and put on the boy pyjamas and swagger down Vernor looking tres menacing in the dark.

also I am reading a book by

John Irving, because each and every girl I am friends with has a book by this man in her bedroom. Down to the last girl. So I want to understand the magic ["Hilary, there's no *magic* in the book!" Sharon]. The first page is about a young man's complex relationship with his mother. I'm really more of a Harry Potter person.

Woot!

Everyone has either :

a) a website, or

b) a grade that reflects the quality of their written work in Advanced Expository Writing, not your personal issues or concurrent preparation for the MCAT.

Time to go home and uncork a bottle of wavy watermelon detangler.

shame

Read a differing version of the frame and story.

O indistinct and unpronounceable god-slash-s-es.

Tonight I will sleep like a floating hoverlink at bottom=0.

"Quiet! I'm trying to finish my zen circle".

Ask Shashi how this zen circle magically drew itself while Hilary lay on the floor of the lab at 12:45 pm feeling her bracelet.

One wonders if the same phenomenon will work on my students' papers.

What is it about a computer screen after hours that makes people evolve verbal tics and pant about word choice to their absent students?

Ever since she first encountered the palace at 4am in an architectural theory book her mind redrew the palace wherever she looked.
