I just spent 45 minutes ranting against a hypocritical blog that I read earlier this afternoon. What I wrote might have offended some of you, so I haven’t posted it. That doesn’t mean I won’t, but I’m pausing while I entertain second thoughts about it. Instead, I’m here to entertain you. Shall I write you… Read More Rant, schmant
I still haven’t decided about Ezzie. I’ve written the next installment, which will arrive early Friday. There is still the possibility that I could continue it, but I’ll need a completely new cast of characters, aside from Ezzie herself, and possibly the return of some old mates like Becky and Jem. I could end there,… Read More More waffles
Not for me. For Ezzie Planet Ezzie will be tough going for the next couple of episodes. She has made a tough choice but found a possible way out that won’t please her friends. I’ve also attached some suitably funereal music to cool the mood. I’m not sure how much further this series can go.… Read More The end, maybe.
Poor sleep again last night, but it wasn’t interrupted by my neighbors, just the uncomfortable bed, and being away from home. I think the neighbors went out around 10 pm, and I didn’t hear them return. The morning sessions were informative today, and I met a few nice people in between. The weather was set… Read More Home again
I must sleep tonight. I recognized that sound last night, for two hours. Not solid hours, just bursts of ecstasy at around ten minute intervals, once up against their headboard, which was right behind mine. Only one of them. The other is silent. The noisy one interrupts with a few demands. They weren’t loud enough… Read More Interlude
Last night as I was lying in bed not falling asleep, I heard something, and I only realized what it was just before … the climax. I wished I had figured it out earlier. I’m such a voyeur. I wanted to hear it all, to feel it, to live it vicariously. I wanted … no,… Read More What is it about conferences?
I’m traveling for the next couple of days, and tonight my acrophobia is being tested. My hotel room is on the 17th floor, and ordinarily that would be OK. Unfortunately, the building is inward facing with a hollow core. A glance over the railing (at waist height) looks all the way down to the ground… Read More Testing one, two, … seventeen
Someone has done something behind my back at work. It doesn’t look good for me. I’m expected to fix it, and to do that, I have to please three different people, not to mention my students. They’re probably the most important. I knew something was going wrong. There was at least one troublemaker in the… Read More Grumpy
My experiment on Monday yielded no results, so what does that tell me? Nobody is actually reading my blog. I know that isn’t entirely true. There are a couple of people who regularly or occasionally engage. They just didn’t respond to my blog yesterday. In truth, neither actually “liked” it, so they may not have… Read More Ain’t got nobody
I’ve been neglecting you, my children. Real life is demanding my attention right now, so I’ve been attending to it. My diversion isn’t over until mid-November, but it is in a somewhat manageable state, so I’ve taken time out to attend, and take attendance. I’ve been curious how many of you read these messy missives,… Read More Neglect
