On Dreams

My house is filled with ghosts. The main ambassador, the one that can leave the basement and even the house is an evil looking caspar, although his head is more on the shape of a Hershey’s kiss. He is a nuisance, and scary more because of what he represents than what he is. All the real swirling fog filled ‘pit of Hell’ slowed down backwards tape reel stuff is coming from the basement. ...

ANGRY POST

Dear Northville: I had to clear this post. Red Room nicely asked me to do so. It's nice to know they care, at least.

Edumacation #5: Shake Down

Really, it's an article. I think. It's too long to be a blog entry, so find it on the 'article' page. It might need a a bit more editing, but heck, there it is. I did promise more articles, right? Should I even be up this late?

It was "Face Lab" today. Face Lab is an activity in which kids create their own kid- a son or a daughter- and they mimic the selection of genes by flipping coins. Each 'parent' contributes one allele, determined by the coin flip. Heads is Dominant, tails is recessive. There are a number of of traits that are a little more complicated than 'two alleles, one gene' heredity, and the ...

Riding around town on my bicycle, I find the speed just perfect. You are traveling too fast for panhandlers and the clipboard paparazzi to solicit you, but slow enough to really take in your surroundings. I like to read, among other things, bumper stickers, and there is no dearth of bumper stickers in wear-it-on-your-sleeve Berkeley, CA. “Midwifes do it in any position” was the one I read ...

The Funnest Game Ever

Brought to us by Wendy Molyneux, via Arija, this is the absolute best game ever. It's the new porn-star-name-game*. For instructions, click on the link above- my new Emo band album is awesome- I love the paradox, as well as the faux-bleakness-I-am-so-dark-and-alone sentiment. TOO. MUCH. FUN. * The pornstar name game rules are thus: Take the street you grew up on (last name) and add your mother's ...

Not robbing banks, or the drug trade or anything so interesting. I'm a schoolteacher by trade, and I'm two weeks (sort of*) back in the classroom. And I'm EXHAUSTED, but it feels.....right. No yoga to speak of, but I'l get back to that. So if you do read the blog.....and I have conclusive evidence that at least two of you do, then turn towards the articles. I think it's about time I brushed ...

Restorative yoga #1 and #2I have this problem. It’s the “think before you speak” problem.I have this other problem. It’s the “ Don’t think of pink elephants” problem.Sometimes your problems can line up is such a way that they compound each other, and ruin a perfectly serviceable moment in your day. Your restorative yoga class, in fact. Of course, sometimes destroying something is ...
