I had a snow day from school yesterday, which I haven’t experienced in years, so I decided to take advantage. So did my dogs. This is taken at Swift Run Dog Park in Ann Arbor, MI, and it is my dogs’ favorite place in the world. Especially when it is covered in a foot of snow.

Random Childhood Memory

millerthekiller: Every day for roll call, instead of saying “here” we would say “hot” or “cold” to specify whether we were having a school provided “hot” lunch or if we’d brought our own “cold” lunch from home. I think i may have said “cold” two or three times the entire time i was in elemetary school. The lady that scanned our barcodes was named Rhonda Sheppard and every day for the 5 seconds...

John Stewart interview with Betsy McCaughey on death panels. I love when he gives people hell like this. If you haven’t seen the whole thing, you really should check it out. I really, REALLY, can’t understand how this can be twisted around so much.

3 bedroom, 2 bath HOUSE for rent: $850/month →

andreaallen: New Yorkers, for fun go to the Wichita, KS craigslist and peruse what my home town has to offer. Oh, that house for rent… it’s in one of the upscale neighborhoods. Imagine the prices in the not-so-nice neighborhoods. (search tip via Jodi) The cheepest house I’ve rented in Wichita was a two bedroom, with washer dryer hook-ups, a full fenced back yard and a two car garage. It...

bad parenting.

Overhead conversation while I was serving a table today: “I’ve always told my kids, ever since they were young, that the normal news that you read in the papers and watch on the normal tv stations slant to the left, so you have to make sure to watch Fox News, too, so that you can get an unbiased opinion.”

9/11

In the waiting room at the dr’s office today, I overheard a woman asking the man sitting with her what the date was while filling out her forms. I leaned over and informed her that it was the 11th. September 11th. I didn’t realize it was possible to live in America and not know that the date was 9/11.

“Fat Charlie was thirsty. Fat Charlie was thirsty and his head hurt. Fat...”

Mail

Upon returning from work today, I checked my mailbox, only to find a half-full bottle of vodka. I’m happy that the mailman delivered alcohol, but wish he/she could learn to lay off the sauce. Next time deliver it full, please.

Can Native Speakers of a Language Make Mistakes?

andreaallen: hot4discourse: is a 1961 speech by Allen Walker Read - he decides that “No” they cannot - and I can’t find it anywhere online. Can anyone help me find a copy? He also discovered that OK comes from the misspelling and abbreviation craze of newspapers during the 1830’s (all correct became Oll Korrect which became OK). This stuff blows my mind. Cool! I just posted something similar...

katiea: Today I found my old diary I started writing in when I was a sophomore in high school. The first line was “This is a really nice journal and I’m going to try to write in it as often as possible.” I only had about twenty entries in it, the last one being the first day I started college. ”I already hate my roommate and secretly plan on transferring to WSU at semester.” A lot of what...

Langston's dream

Andrea threw a bucket of water all over his floor, because it would be hilarious. Langston did not think it was hilarious. A fight insued. I don’t know where Langston would get the idea that Andrea would think something like that is hilarious.

Message

I missed your call tonight while I was busy writing. Hadn’t heard your voice in weeks, not since you were last too busy to answer. I told myself that’s why I saved your message. I told myself that so I could make it a poem. After pressing nine and pound to save, I held the phone for a moment, dramatic pause, wanting to think about what I’d say it meant to me. Instead, I thought about what it did...

– Overheard this in a song on some Tapè de Múxè (via mareen) It’s in the song “Together” by the Raconteurs. I recycled several of the lyrics in this song for a poem a while back (posted above).
