Up For Air
( Shhhhhhh. I'm not here. I'm actually someplace else, grading a paper, I think. Or maybe reading that book I'm teaching next week. Or maybe writing that memo to the dean. Or perhaps reporting on how usefully I spent the university's money when I went to England in June. Or even, oh ha ha ha, I'm, like, you know, writing a book or something.
But for sure I am NOT stopping by the blog to say hello. Nope. No way.
Because my time is not my own. I seem to have sold it off, damn it, and I can't find the receipt. I think I sold it off so as to be useful. And I'd like to take it back. And not be useful. Useless, that's my goal. Perhaps even a major drag on the department.
Yeah, there's a plan.
Anyway, as I say, I'm not here. And I'm about to really not be here, not just in cyberspace but in my office, as I seem to have promised some of the students in the dorm that I'd come teach knitting so that said students can charitably knit leper bandages. As, it seems, you never have enough leper bandages. And you have to knit them at 9:00 PM. Because you're young and restless.
So, I'm leaving soon, this place where I'm not, as I mentioned before. But while I'm still not here, I'll share with you a couple of things I found while I was elsewhere on the web not being here:
1) Only a truly gifted artist could have invented Crash Bonsai. If I hadn't told everybody to cancel the orders for Trendsetter "Dune," and send all the money they were going to use to buy Xmas presents for me off to various progressive organizations, I would put the Crash Bonsai on my wish list. I think one would be truly effective in my office. Thank you, Lala, for the link.
2) It is possible that you may benefit from watching this cat dance video. Or not. I think I'm a better woman for it, but then, I've been at work way too long already today. I want YOU to watch the damn thing, at any rate, because I did. All the way through. Thanks to Stupid Pixel Tricks for the link.
Ok. I'm out of here, for real. You can all talk in normal voices now.)
