Do I dare disturb the universe?

About Me

Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself. I am large; I contain multitudes.-Walt Whitman..

My Interests

Sleeping in, eating out, reading, travelling, gardening, crossword puzzles (in pen), movies, intelligent music, and not grading papers.
You Belong in London
A little old fashioned, and a little modern.
A little traditional, and a little bit punk rock.
A unique woman like you needs a city that offers everything.
No wonder you and London will get along so well. What City Do You Belong In?

Summertime

So what's everyone doing this summer? Me, lots of reading, laying by the pool, tending my tiny garden and vacations to the Oregon coast and Vegas. I'll also be missing The Office and eagerly awaiting ...

A new TV

I just want concerned people to know that we just got a new, large television, so now I can actually watch programs that everyone else watches. We no longer have to watch just the shows that my husban...

Amazing Grace

This film has completely inspired me to be a better person. It reminds me that it's important to be vocal about what's right, especially when it comes to the rights and feelings of human beings, and t...

The Office

I'm obsessed with The Office. It slays me. I'm a few years behind, though, because we don't have TV, so I've watched all these first and second season episodes on DVD back to back (it's amazing). Sinc...

Stranger Than Fiction

Stranger Than Fiction, along with being the title of a cool song by Bad Religion, is a movie that you should see if you're bookish and appreciate deviations from the typical Hollywood plotline. I love...

The Wheel

Here's an essay I wrote recently:I've always fancied myself an artist. However, other than some sloppily painted canvases, I have nothing tangible to show for it. In high school, I was envious of arti...

My typical day

The alarm blares at 6:17 am and rings until I hit the snooze button. Three or four more taps of the snooze and I'm dragging my exhausted body out of bed, stepping around the debris of books, magazines...

The Prestige

Of all the movies I've seen lately, The Prestige has been my favorite. I love twist-endings, and British actors (specifically Christian Bale), and good stories in general. The only thing I didn't like...

Art in the Park

I love to browse around Julia Davis Park, drooling over things I can't afford. I especially love metal yard art. I want to get one of those huge metal sculptures with all sorts of colored glass and fu...

New year, new freaks

I mean nothing by that title. I swear. I am always amused by the first week of school, how my new students don't know what to make of me--whether I'll be a mega-beeotch or a total pushover, whether my...
