To further ponder life’s questions… Last night I put on a Band-Aid, and I thought, “What an arrogant white man’s binding.” It matches my Caucasian skin color so nicely. Then I thought, “Are there other diversity constituency accommodating Band-Aids?” Even the “clear” Band-Aids have that nice Caucasian pad on them. I repeat, “Hmmmmm.” The results … Read more
I have this little sample tube of teeth whitener. On the tube it says in big blue letters, “5-Minute Whitening Power*” The very next line, in red, explains the asterisk: “*Begins to Start Whitening in 5 Minutes.” This is what’s bothering me: Okay, it begins the start of the whitening in 5 minutes, so does … Read more
I worked in the office this morning, and while there copied the two books I’m working on onto my flash drive, so I could work on them from home this afternoon. What a great invention. On the way home I stopped at Jiffy Lube and had my oil changed. In and out. The deal. I … Read more
Robert and I went to Finch’s for breakfast. I had a Cheddar Omelet with wheat toast. Yum. Robert had a Western Omelet with hash browns and wheat toast. An absolute motor mouth sat at the table next to us. Presumably, a daughter with her parents. Yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack, yack! I met Joe … Read more
In the morning, Robert helped me re-organize my bedroom some. I moved my socks, underwear, and t-shirt (the clothes I wear the most) from my dresser to my chest of drawers. Now for the next few days, I will open the dresser draw a hundred times, until I retrain myself. We took an hour or … Read more
Robert and I met at Applebees at around 6:30. I had a Chocolate Martini for a cocktail, and Robert had a Cosmo. We shared their appetizer sampler, and I had their Chicken Oriental Wrap. Yum. We watched Margaret Cho’s Cho Revolution. OMG. We were howling. And Robert had already seen it once. This is the … Read more
I attended the final class of ENG 519, where six more students presented their portfolios. Once again, just a wide variety of creations. I thought of something else I wanted to do to my website today. Will it ever end? After observing the presentations, it occurred to me that I have “local navigation” in the … Read more
I did the “Phone-Ahead” thing at Cost Cutters, only to arrive finding no one waiting any way. April cut my hair this time. Bridgett was flitting about. Uneventful. 7 on the top. 5 on the sides. $11.95, one dollar-off coupon. $10.95. $3.00 tip. I asked April to zip that trimmer over my eyebrows for me. … Read more
We had our bi-weekly TIGR meeting today, which was fine as those meetings go. I attended the “defenses” for the MS in Technical Communication program tonight. These are a result of what is called the “Capstone Course“, also known as ENG 675, that each person has to take before graduating from the program. Basically, this … Read more
Class was fun (except for one brief 15-minute period) again tonight, as I got to see five more portfolios created by my classmates in ENG 519. It is so interesting how vastly different everyone’s is, and to hear about each person’s experience as they made their way through this rather arduous assignment. I had my … Read more
