for those of you who don't know, i am so very very lucky to spend some of my time influencing the susceptible minds of today's fragile youth. some days, i do it better than others, but oft times, i find that they actually have a lot more to teach me.
these last few weeks have been very busy. i don't know why, but it seems that every spring of the last couple years has just been nearly tumultuous in terms of too much going on. i wonder what spring was like for ladies in the Renaissance? i bet they didn't have to worry about audits and sick buildings and getting the Loves of Their Lives to get it together and all sorts of other weird shit that one has to deal with today. then again, who the fuck knows. sometimes, i think life is kinda like your purse. the bigger it is, the more shit you're going to shove in it, and it's certainly entirely up to you as to what kind of bag you want to trudge through life with. mine seems to be busting my back these days, so my goal for the upcoming weeks is to clean out my bag(s), but now i digress. as to ladies now and ladies in the Renaissance...well, at least we don't get shut up in isolation and fed bland food after being diagnosed with hysteria (although that might actually be a little later than the Renaissance, but you get my point) so there's a silver lining to everything, i suppose.
regardless, spring has come, and spring will soon be over. Life is lovely...crap i almost said and it will soon be over, but really i don't mean that anymore than the valid truth that is a fundamental part of that statement meaning we really really better suck every bit of juice out of that sucker, but alright, i obviously need to turn this around, so yes, Life is and always will be lovely
i went to a lovely wedding a few days ago, of my lovely friend Jess, and her amazing husband, Brian. readers of my post will know that Jess is hands down the most amazing colleague and stand-up friend that anyone could POSSIBLY ever ask for, and Brian - well, as far as i know, is pretttty dang funny, other than thinking that i look up to, or come from, terrorists.
some time ago, i had my students dissect "Pandora's Box" and this is the theme some of them came up with. keep your bags light, Brian and Jess.
