goodbye

Tonight we said goodbye to Paul. I got two hugs–Erik got zero. Driving home, he said he was jealous. I said, “Because he hugged me, or because you didn’t get any?” He said the latter. I said, “That’s just gender trouble.” We talked to his chicken Sparky. He showed us where two mourning doves made… Read More »

what CBEST is

CBEST is a test teachers have to take in California to prove they have the ability to write okay and do a little math. I took it years ago to get an adult ed credential, because I was going to teach adult ed for the county, which happened only briefly before the budget took a… Read More »

Today I flipped off this anti-gay propoganda truck. It has a picture of two guys kissing on it, within an “anti” glyph. I have flipped off other people in jest or discreetly, but today, it’s so warm, I actually had my hand out the window, but I think he didn’t see. KEEP SODOMY OUT OF… Read More »

meta

Pardon me as I do just the thing I hate, which is blogging about blogging. First of all, I made a mistake and had all these comments I didn’t know about because of how I put it on moderated but didn’t enter an email address to be notified about the comments, so they stacked up… Read More »

after concert

We went to Long Haul Infoshop on Shattuck–it was my first time in an infoshop. I had a bag filled with about 25 zines I’d received mostly through trades that I didn’t want to keep. And three of my own. So I spoke with a very nice woman who is the zine archivist there. We… Read More »
