in the other window i am doing my homework which is to calculate my basal metabolic rate. the calculator i am using has an exhaustive list of activities you could be doing, to see how many calories you would expend in pursuit of them. included is "kissing - light" but
not "kissing-heavy". "spectating" is also on the list. it is not my homework to do anything with the list.
:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:today in ASL my teacher was talking about the byrd polar research center. as she was talking about it she fingerspelled #byrd & said, "i don't know. he's some guy. some polar-y guy [dismissive hand wave next to ear]. he's got like this whole building over there."
this is actually not as funny as the time very early in the quarter when she was "discussing linguistics" & said, "but then this guy proved that ASL is a language. this guy named um chomsky."
because oh, you know, some guy named einstein. or oh, you know, some lady named emma goldman. or joan of arc.
i seriously considered buying a chomsky t-shirt specifically to wear to her class, even though i think it is an ugly t-shirt. also she keeps mispronouncing william stoeke's name.
i am mean. i am hard on my teachers. i have always been. but i am paying to be talked to in this manner.

the ohio state university georgetown university columbia university emory university university of pennsylvaniajust looking at all this gives me the heebie-jeebies.

Q: why didn't i do science at kenyon?
A: so you could learn to look at things & talk about them, remember/
