Tell.
I was going to talk about tell, and explain how it’s had this odd — but possibly mistaken — influence in our theories of questions. (But points — the meaningless, Whose line is it anyway? kind of points — if you can get any kind of feeling about the truth value of the following:
John was […]
A wolf might walk in the door. It would eat us.
Yet another successful library day: I return six books, take out ten.
I also reread an article while in the cafe at Borders. Success! It’s beginning to start to make some sense. I need to go over the math Very Carefully, but I’m getting the gist. It’s absolutely fascinating; I wish I were more intelligent […]
Fear, of sorts.
M has decided to terrify me today.
She is sitting in what she has claimed as her chair. (Why can’t she sleep all day on my bed?) There’s room for me to scrunch in with her, so I sit down and start patting her. Now usually she accepts this for a minute or two, then […]
i can’t believe it’s only wednesday
Another present from my cats today: a bird. A full-grown bird. Which, my roommate informs me, they had initially brought in alive, but it was put outside. Oh well; I’m glad they’ve taken so well to being outside. Sort of. A little. (Glad, that is. They’re doing far better than sort of.)
I also have my […]
It’s a fork! It believes itself to be self-aware!
I was still trying to work out the coffee-to-determine-if-there-should-be-a-date-evening.

I just need to remind myself that saying, look, I don’t want you to touch me — well, […]
Wee gifties
Today, under my dining room table: a little dead mouse.
I threw it into the garden. S, lovable cat that he is, saw me throw it, picked it up, and left it on the porch for me again.
I don’t actually know who caught the thing. M just strikes me as the hunting kind of […]
Procrastinate!
On reading 2 of the article I’m supposed to present next Wednesday, it’s starting to make more sense. Except neither of the two authors know how to bake. If I ask you “how many eggs do I need to make this cake?”, I’m asking for the minimum number, sure — but if I can bake […]
Isle of the Pelicans
I fell asleep in class today, a bit. I just couldn’t stay awake. I napped after, until they ran a meeting in the room I was napping and was kicked out.
So am I (a) going to bed so that I am rested tomorrow or (b) not?
I made the butterscotch squares (featuring chocolate chips and walnuts) […]
