syllabus

I found this syllabus that I wrote to help Chris plan for the sound synthesis class he's teaching in the fall...

Sound Synthesis Syllabus:

Class 1: Everyone takes off their pants! "Getting to know each other".

Class 2: Sound! Eat crackers as well.*

Class 3: Orientation of classroom space. Identify and visit:
-the bathroom!
-emergency exits!
-restricted areas!

Class 4: Poems about sound and a parade! (Please bring floats and/or costumes)

Class 5: Pet fashion show and recap of what we've learned.

*Please note: cracker fee not included in tuition cost. A $5 charge will be requested, payable to instructor at start of class

assorted rabbits

notes from a drive to work

I wonder if the bird on the horse's back had to try out several horses before he found one who would tolerate him perched there.

shitty mood

My guess is that these creatures also slept like crap last night, and woke up to an alarm far earlier than they were ready to at 6 this morning. I can totally empathize. I, too, have a furrowed brow and crossed arms today. I'm grumpy and agitated and think it's probably best if I stay clear of people until I've had some sleep... Grrrrr.

Small talk at work

Me: So guess what I found out my garage is full of?

Coworker: Pee?

Me: No, worse. Black Widows.

Coworker: Well you could always burn it down. That's what they did when Charlotte got to be a problem.

Me: I'm pretty sure that's not what happened.

E Pluribus Ugly

"The Secretary of the Treasury approved the reverse design for the coin after consultation with the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts and review by the Citizen's Coinage Advisory Committee."

I have to wonder how they fill the board of the U.S. Commission of Fine Arts... Maybe they had a sign-up sheet at the mall? Regardless, this penny is gross. The proportions are all wrong, the design is super bottom-heavy, and the shield is simplistic and makes the penny look like play money from a dollar-store set of pirate toys. Yuck. Plus what about the fact that you can no longer see lil' Abe in the Lincoln Memorial like you could on the old one?

Benefits of Hula-Hooping*:

Core Muscle Improvement

Other Muscle Sculpting

2. Using hoops on arms and legs sculptsbiceps, triceps, upper back, shoulders and thighs.*

Burn Extra Calories

3. Active hooping is an aerobic activity that will help burn extra calories.*

Relieve Stress

4. It's hard to be grumpy while concentrating on hula hooping. It's hard not to laugh while improving hooping skills. And exercise is known to be a healthy way to relieve stress.*
