at espresso waiting for e and it's my office hours and i don't think my section believes me when i say that it's at the coffee shop across the street but oh well. whatever. totally different vibe with today's class than yesterday's and i wonder why, so strange.

flickr is going through some kind of upgrade but when they come back you should see a photo stream of mine in the bottom left corner (scroll down!) of this blog. i'll probably move it further up the page soon but for now...

anyway, i started teaching this week and it wasn't without some bizarreness but what else is new, huh? meanwhile it's freezing cold out and windy and snowing and, bleh, it's winter. i'm trying not to take any narcotics this weekend...it's that time of the month and i'm wondering if this new med that i'm on is going to help or not. so i'm just on advil for now...this could prove to be a giant mistake in a few hours.

cold, cold. but i joined a gym today and therefore got off my ass...at least for one day...in the hopes that it will make the pain...
