'Cause Every Once in a While, Everyone Needs a Little Bruce

Holy Shit! The Dems Actually Won Something?

I had almost forgotten what it felt like.


So in light of all the political jazz that's been going on, I felt that it was necessary for me to post SOMETHING about my thoughts on the matter. I don't have have the time to really do this post justice, but I can't keep putting it off. (Trouble is--I don't have enough time or energy these days because the little school children are such energy-drains, so I feel all overwhelmed and don't do anything. BUT, then I feel all guilty about not living up to my blogging goals, and who needs that? It really is a vicious cycle.)
BUT, the truth of the matter is that I am actually feeling a little bit...hopeful. And I don't mean that in any sort of ironic way--I actually see some potential for positive change.
I like Deval. He seems like a stand-up guy. He supports teachers, seems intelligent, is well-spoken, and doesn't seem to be desperately suppressing any sort of pedophiliac desires that manifest themselves in militantly homophobic leanings. Then, too, he truly seems to be committed to breaking down some of social and racial barriers that are (sadly) still problematic in Mass....

...though I am not sure that trying to dispel the myth about the black man's penis size was really the best opening move.

Welcome Deval. Now don't eff it up.

Imitation Is the Sincerest Form of Flattery?


For Halloween, I dressed up as my colleague and good friend (still, I hope), Mr. Columb. It was supposed to be fun for the students (because we've many of the same students), but really it turned out to be kind of scary. Seriously--my adrogeny frightens me.
