Doctors and Other People

A little while ago, I went to see the doctor. There was nothing to be concerned about. It was a regular checkup. I found the checkup to be a bit strange. Some of the surrounding discussion that I had with my friends was incomprehensible.

The first oddity was that the doctor spent considerably more time talking to me than

Yet Another New Meme

The combination of memetic infection and my mutagenic powers is more prolific than I expected. I’ve come up with yet another new meme. I didn’t do this quite alone. People have been calling me weird lately. So, that word has been in my mind. The word ‘weird’ starts with the letter ‘W’ which is quite a sexy letter - I think (depending on one’s taste) a person could reasonably find it as sexy as the letter ‘j’. Yesterday being Wednesday (which

An Epiphany

I don’t like porn. By porn, I mean any depiction of sexual activity for the purposes of titillation. I’m collecting together pornography and erotica into one lump and calling it ‘porn.’ I can do that. This is my place. On the other hand, if I don’t tell you that’s what I’m doing, I can hardly expect to be understood. So, having explained the necessary

Reinstatement Poetry

I am reinstating myself in a way that will be visible later on today. Over the last couple of weeks of last month I wrote the following poem. Don’t worry about it not making sense. It has line breaks and thus is poetry.

Three Ducks and A Chicken
Ambidexterity
How can someone FORGET to wear pants?

My New Meme

If you’ve started reading this post, count yourself as tagged by the meme herein. You should probably continue and read the whole thing so that you know what you’re supposed to do now that you’ve been tagged. If you don’t, you’ll be bad at counting because you’ll have counted yourself as tagged and not really have been tagged. Presuming that you’re an adult, I wouldn’t want you to have to think of yourself as bad at counting. I wouldn’t

Mutagen

It seems I’ve been tagged again. Fortunately for me, I was granted some time and thus was able to ponder my response a bit more deeply than I might have otherwise. And, there are a number of things that I had to think about.

I have something against these things that are called ‘memes.’ Part of this comes from my

The Honeymoon is Over

I’ve graded and returned my first suite of assignments. That is always depressing. The marks are never as high as I’d like. I realize anew each year that the students don’t understand what I’ve been telling them. Helping them to learn will be a whole bunch of work on my part and on theirs and it won’t be entirely successful. I always know that but

I Forgot

I forgot to think of anything to post here today. I almost forgot to post anything. So, please think of this as a nothing post. It is much like a nothing post. I suspect that a muse will

Yesterday and Today

Yesterday was a pretty good day. Work went well. The extra work that I thought I was going to have to do all afternoon turned out to not need to be done so I didn’t do it.

On the way home, I picked up my new glasses. They’re fancy. They’re progressive. They make me feel modern. I look like I’m a twenty-first century kind of person now.

In the evening, I had went to our Parent-Teacher Association (it is called something

What do I care?

I’m pretty sure that I’ve written about this before. It flows nicely from what I wrote the day before yesterday. So, I’m risking repeating myself (not especially on purpose as opposed to when I repost stuff because I’m feeling lazy).

This is part of what I see as a general phenomenon. People make up pearls of wisdom and leave off qualifiers that make it all too easy to be a swine (and thus have the pearl case
