A few random thoughts

thought while on the bus (May 9th)

  • I just saw a woman with big curlers in her hair - and perfect posture.
  • I wish I has the sort of posture that made a stroll up the driveway with yellow curlers in my hair look like a walk on the catwalk...

thought on June 4th (new moon)
  • Today I feel decidedly under the circumstances, under the weather and under the moon. I'm blaming it on the New moon (which was yesterday) and lower than usual blood sugar (haven't eaten in hours). I'm going to go make dinner! (I can't change the moon).
  • One of my students wrote a whole composition on potato wedges. Even I'd be hard pressed to write a composition about raisins (though I do recall writing a poem). And as much as I love them I flat out couldn't do marshmallows.

Two Tom thoughts
  • I just opened and emptied a can of tuna - unharassed.
  • I accidentally taught my class to give stink eye (it's so cute when 8 year olds do it!)
  • Mid convo one student stopped and pointed out the window - cat!! (I love children)
  • (ok, that was more than two)

Nuances

  • The things - the - something that happens between men and women. The tiny little *things (zings) that pass between brief touches - even across the space between them. Do they exist? and to what extent?
  • L, I'm in love with the language you speak. Like I'm in love with French men -ooh la la! sigh* I wish I knew all that you say. You understand me so much better than I understand you (thought to my deaf sign language instructor).
