Back on the bike
I'm thinking of firing this baby up, again. FB does not book enough information about anyone, including me, for me.
That said, I cannot think of a thing to write. Currently, I live in Winnipeg, where everyone is enjoying a brief respite between the crap weather of winter and the crap bug-infestation that is known as summer, here. Sometimes deer hang in the park across the street. And my neighbourhood is exceptionally yelly during runs. I choose to think of this as encouragement. But I'm totally gettin' louder headphones for my mp3 player.
This week, I will have coffee with two separate prospective friends. This makes me nervous because it's been a while since I went on a new-friend-date and I rely almost exclusively on smart-ass verbal shorthand since everyone I hang out with knows each other well enough that extra details are boring and a waste of time.
Example: Fares says "'Sup?"
Translation:
Fares is being a smartass, recalling the difficulty she had relating to her 1st-year students last term - difficulty signalled by her discussion in lecture of early hiphop's so-called authenticity, when MC's "laid down some beats."
Further Translation:
Fares is being a smartass, recalling whiter-than-white Veronica Mars telling her black coolkid sidekick Wallace that she is very serious about appealing to her urban demographic.
On a related note, why do I watch so many shows about young white women - usually in high school - who solve crimes, and save people, and stuff?
