Isn't it funny how NaBloPoMo just saps your will to live? I want to blog, I really do, but then I get here and I'm just like BLAH. Right now I'm in class and I'm making my students workshop their end of semester Reflection papers, so I figured, what the hey, let's do some reflecting of our own.

Here is what I've come up with. You guys don't see much ( Read more... )

It's been a long, hard road. Writer's block, almost falling asleep before posting, and more crap posts than I can count. Actually, that's not true, because that's exactly what I'm going to do in ( Read more... )

Dear Thai Food,

I know I shouldn't be writing you this letter when I promised to stay away, but I just can't help myself. You're all I think about. When I'm driving ( Read more... )

Hey, look! A real entry! (Sort of.)

If my obligations were like Thanksgiving dinner, I'd have at least four platefuls right now. Except most of the food would be rotten.

Last night I was very proud of myself. I made dinner, and it was pretty dang healthy. This is a large feat for me as my diet as of late has mostly consisted of coffee, beans, and sugar.

Most nights when I'm at lunch -- er, dinner -- I mostly just have to focus on eating enough so that I'm not hungry in a couple of hours. This is difficult, as I have the metabolism of an adolescent hummingbird. Also, the Arizona Inn may be a five diamond resort and fine dining room, but it sure doesn't feed it's employees five diamond fare. Most ( Read more... )

There is an Albertson's by my apartment -- a two minute drive. In the morning when the air is the clearest and the Arizona sun has not yet decided to start boiling our brains, the drive to this Albertson's is beautiful. The tree-lined street is one of the prettiest in Tucson, and despite the sometime profusion of cop-cars, is also a really good ( Read more... )
