I do love Adele's voice
But the woman is just not treating that fantastic instrument of hers well at all.
If it were a violin she’d be smacking it into the ground.
Glad she at least quit smoking though.

Today is the perfect day..
..to play a city-wide edition of my favorite game “Costume or Crazy?”
(Note: I had this idea a full year before the “Halloween or Williamsburg” blog. I wonder if “both” will be a potential answer for that site today, or for my game too.)
Nope
Denny’s, you’re not America’s diner.
Had to do it
“Written In The Stars” is on the playlist for tonight.

All I Do Is Win
Last time I raced the m15 home for 40 blocks, it was close,and I only beat it at the very last second.
Today, I made it to 100th street before the bus made it to 86th (from 62nd).
I win.
Anyone who thinks baseball isn't exciting..
…was not watching that game last night.
I will miss you after you’re gone tonight.

“Someone will die!”
“Of fun!”
“…and murder!”
“Troy and Abed sewn together!”
“That is my kind of potbong!”
“I hope you’re as fertile as I am.”
“More.”
“Flickering candles!”
“Yes! It’s hard to say, isn’t it?”
– WTF?
Wheel of Fortune is too dumb to live.
Mom has joined gmail
Fine.
But after a few emails, she calls me, very confused about “this chat thing that happened.”
Sorry for the silence
Been a very busy week. Informed has been updated as usual. Haven’t had anything all that personally important occur.
But I’m really enjoying my new job, and - if being a fulltime faculty member actually pays more rather than just being more hours - I could see myself staying here after school ends.
My students (aside from a few of them) did really well on the first test. I’m...

Hey, Mets?
WHY IS THERE NOTHING AT ALL NEAR YOUR STADIUM?
Junkyards and the closed tennis center. Half the station is closed.

Who are these people..
..that serve as ‘sources’ at hollywood parties watching couples stealing kisses (and does anyone say this phrase outside of gossip columns)?
Get a life, pervs.

They should be castigated when they fuck up, but if they say something worthwhile, we should encourage them.
But seriously though?

Chuckle-worthy
My students all chinese except for two colombians.
The male colombian seems to have come to class amped to meet himself a chinese woman. He expressed audible disappointment when he found out one of the other students was married (and apparently has two kids; man asians age well - until it all hits them at around 50).
Today we had a new student. And during the break there he was chatting her...
Is there a way to make central park wedding pics...
Today’s amateur investigation says.. No.
But all this posing is hilarious.

In case you were wondering why I was being emo..
.. I was rejected, essentially, for having my shit together last night.
“You have goals,” she said, like this is bad.
This, my friends, is what is known as not being able to win.
Heh.
S’all good.
All that I want from you
..is the promise you will be there.

3 Problematic Characters I Love Anyway
So here I am, actually about to write a pop culture post for the first time in a while.
I have been tasked with choosing three – three – characters from pop culture that I happen to like who are unintentionally problematic, either in terms of race, gender, sexuality, or some other such category. My fantastic friend, Lady T, is writing the same post on her site, and I will post the link as soon as...
