3 Translation: bleh.
4 Nah, not that tough.
5 Good weekend. Liked the rain.
6 I lunkheadedly decided to spend about a half hour with each student's papers from last week.
7 That's the true glamour of teaching.
8 Piles and piles of papers.
9 I always love when people say, "Just don't assign them!" like that's an option.
10 Let me lay it out for people. They pay us handsomely to do this.
11 One can tell by my lavish lifestyle and striking irregularity and disregard with and for the rules of the language.
12 Anybody lookin'?
13 Pretty glitzy stuff.
14 Moving On, Part One: If you've been following my substantially uninteresting life you know that I've gone through a bazillion changes in electronic devices these past two months.
15 I won't list the stuff, but I've gone from a reasonably new Toshiba laptop with Windows 8 to a new Apple Mac, courtesy of the District.
16 I also got a new iPhone 'cuz my old one conked out amid a series of repeating electronic issues.
17 My Toshiba's sound went out around two weeks ago and then it blue-screened.
18 I was told by a Geek Squad geek that I would need to send it to the factory.
19 To me that meant I might as well hurl it off a building.
20 <watching The Amazing Spider Man while writing; expect urban rooftop imagery>
21 Meanwhile Apple wants to sync everything in my house but the kitchen.
22 I stopped short. Decided not to go there.
23 My concern of course is that every single piece of my information is going to go through teevee screens, iPhones, laptops, desktops, iPads, DVR's, Hulu, Net Flix, my boss' office, the Library of Congress, and Obama's boudoir.
24 Which I know DARNED well he has.
25 Which I'm cool with. I'm down.
26 What was weird though was I just called my daughter Caitlin on her cell. We talked a little and said good-night.
27 Within seconds I heard a phone faintly ringing on my laptop.
28 It mighta been Spider Man.
29 Don't you feel like they've finally succeeded in crawling all through our stuff?
30 I said "stuff" because people don't use nice words like "stuff" anymore.
31 I used to be a rebel, but I always rebelled against whatever was popular.
32 You know that term "jumped the shark?"
33 I've reached a point where popular things jump the shark the first time I see them.
34
<hashtaghashtagsalreadyjumpedthesharkhashtagnokiddingtheyvewayjumpedyo>
35 <hashtaganybodylookin>
36 I swear to you.
37 You know what else has jumped the shark besides using the term jumped the shark?
38 Fake 1920's barbershop moustaches.
39 The national obsession with using words like s#!t and b!t(# (censored our of respect for prudent readers) every four words has also jumped.
40 About a week ago I finally decided to stop wearing sunglasses everywhere.
41 I've commented on how weird it is to try to wear sunglasses in supermarkets and stuff.
42 Especially odd-colored sunglasses, like bright red.
43 I tried shopping one time with red sunglasses on.
44 I couldn't believe people didn't stop shopping and say, "DUDE! Why you wearing RED sunglasses inside a supermarket?"
45 The fact that the entire supermarket turned red to me didn't phase anyone.
46 I bet you couldn't shop wearing red sunglasses for more than five minutes. You can't read labels. You can't tell if the bananas are green or red.
47 You can't see if the meat is green or red.
48 Well, I often shop at Lucky. It's a probable twelve-to-seven the meat's green.
49 Anybody lookin'?
50 Nah, I just don't bother with them anymore unless the sun is blinding me, and even then I can pull down the sun shade thingy on my car and get by.
51 Nope.
52 I ain't no trend.
53 Spider Man's getting amazing. I like Garfield, but then I'm a rebel.
55 Catch you on the reebz.
56 It's Monday. Fly low.
57 See you agin.
58 Peace.
~H~
