Reminders abound
1. My pedometer tells me to walk around and not sit all day.
2. My stopwatch, when I can find it to wear, tells me to get at least one big thing done every 45 minutes.
3. My car is telling me to get a check-up.
4. My cell phone reminds me to clock out.
5. My gmail reminds me that I don't have any scheduled events.
6. My clipboard has about 5 reminders from yesterday and 3 from today.
7. The folded papers nearby are a reminder to process out the many sheets of reminders from last week.
8. There's a blue sheet upside down in front of my keyboard to remind me how many staff I have, how many I need, and the parent numbers to call.
9. My "vacancy facilitation" notice is behind the keyboard to remind me to print out and mail my response.
10. There's a note on the table outside the office reminding me to buy blue tape.
11. Fabiola was supposed to tell me the same thing, but she already left, and it was for her anyway.
12. There are about 18 tasks in outlook which is running on my laptop, for today and yesterday... actually more but that's just the work ones.
13. There's a pile of papers that I cleared off this desk last week, tucked in the drawer of another desk, waiting to be pulled out and culled through.
14. There's a nagging thought in my head about 'finishing' the roster update I've been meaning to crank out since last week.
15. About 250 of the 400 emails in my inbox are reminders to take care of something rather than just messages waiting for responses.
16. And there's this awesome ping when the web-outlook notices a new mail, but mostly it doesn't work.
17. There's papers in my car under the stereo and in the trunk, basically to remind me to put them away.
18. More important is the receipt by the odometer, to remind me to get reimbursed.
19. And that's a small percentage of those other reimbursements...
20. There's two spiral notebooks (maybe three) with to do lists from college that I've only opened once since.
21. Somewhere there's an excel sheet for my finances that's totally out of date.
22. Eventually I'll get a letter (I assume) about the traffic light I ran, the old ticket they still don't think I've paid, and the hospital time they think I still owe for.
23. There's horizontal shadows in the parking lot so I know it's time to go home.

The summer in film so far.
1. Finally saw the Big Lebowski. Everyone says "It'll grow on you, you'll like it more as you keep watching it!" Naah, I'm not really ever gonna watch it again. I can see the fun of the many catchphrases. Maybe I've seen too many kooky goofy dialogue films that have come out since?
2. Wanted was the best action film I've seen in awhile. Teriffic suprises, beautiful shots, a solid plot, and not too much comic book hokey-ness. Plus, they removed the rape-happy nihilism from the graphic novel/source material.
3. The Fall blew my head out the back of my eyeballs. Everything I loved about The Cell, minus the serial killer business and Jennifer Lopez. Gorgeous and heart-wrenching and lovely. Like Pan's Labyrinth plus the English Patient. But lots lots better.
4, Across the Universe was enjoyable and had it's beautiful moments but there's something about the way it handles race issues that left me feeling... queer.
5. I loved Serenity; why can't I stay awake through more than the first hour of the tv show?
6. Suspect Zero still holds up.
7. So does Spartan
8. Must watch more of the Saw movies before Volume V comes out.
9. Moulin Rouge surprised me. Everything I hated about that guy's version of Romeo and Juliet worked very very well.
10. GI Jane is a sublime joy.
11. Mrs. Brown was quietly enjoyable.
13. The Island still makes me smile. The director's commentary doesn't.
14. Premonition was a decent companion piece to The Lake House. Neither is great, but both work on their own terms. Again, the director's commentary was... bad.
15. I'm still happy with The Prestige.
16. The strange movie about killer psychic crabs was... memorably strange.
17. Ghostbusters! Actually less awesome than when I was 8. Sort of an extended, deadpan classic SNL skit.
18. Juno was silly and fine, but not as good as Thumbsucker, and not as provocative as Hard Candy.
19. Hard Candy tore my eyeballs off. I couldn't watch it all straight through. Damn.
20. I'd like to catch Iron Man and the Hulk before they finish their runs.
21. The Federer/Nadal Championship Match was a hell of a lot more satisfying than the Big Lebowski the night before.
22. The old Michael Douglas Vehicle "The Star Chamber" deserves a remake.
23. This feels like a golden summer for comic book movies. Hellboy and Batman are still to come, plus the Spirit, and a few more on the way. I really hope Batman lives up to the hype.

Mrs. Stone Retires
1. I can't believe it was 21 years ago that I sat in her class. Shouldn't I have grown more than 3 feet in all that time?
2. At her party, they laid out stacks of old papers and reports. I had forgotten about all the book-making projects.
3. There was Bonnie Mitchell, my 1st grade teacher. I don't remember as much from her class... A chinchilla, a book about caterpillars and conformity, and trying to figure out how to raise my hand the "right way" to get called on...
4. Ms. Stone's class was one art project after another. Whether it was math or history or literacy, everything was tactile, everything had art.
5. Sometime after Halloween we came to class and each of our desks had a mysterious gourd on it. Our task was to examine these things, measure them, describe them, as if they were aliens... and then write stories about the invading visitors!
6. I think that was the class where we had a mysterious lunch bag thief... Or maybe that was the class I made up that story for?
7. I was a highly distractible child. Mrs. Stone's solution was to seat girls on all sides of my desk. It worked... Until I figured out how to make girls laugh too.
8. I am still grateful for that learning experience!
9. We made collages, series of images sliced up and interlaid, and then made up stories about them. Years later when I watched Napolean Dynamite describe his Liger, it touched that old memory of my Scorpion/Mantis/Octopus thing...
10. At the retirement party she told a few jokes about her messy desk--it's something I remember now, and her jokes about it.
11. They also talked about her handling of data, and diagnostics--something I was completely unaware of at the time.
12. I cried a lot in that class. But I was happy.
13. I cried a lot in all my classes until, well, middle school... But even then, once in awhile I was overwhelmed.
14. I don't think I stopped crying exactly when I started smoking and using drugs and having free access to caffeine... But maybe the timelines were pretty close?
15. I definitely still had a stuffed animal in Mrs. Stone's class, but I had to keep it in my back pack and visit it briefly on my way to and from the bathroom.
16. There's a bit of a blur for me between that class room and my 4th grade one... My desk was in a similiar spot, and although the two rooms were in very different schools (and different cities!) they were both "stimulus rich," the walls covered in educational material...
17. Both teachers were wise, canny, sometimes fierce women that liked me a lot and took me seriously and didn't let me get the best of them...
18. I cried less in 4th grade. But I did come up with my first get-rich-quick scheme, I think...
19. No, now that I think about it I'm pretty sure the back-of-the-comic-book pyramid/catalog scheme came first...
20. I wonder what it's like to take over a classroom that someone else has had for three decades?
21. Or to clear out a room like that?
22. It's also strange to think that in all that time... She had less than 1,000 kids pass through?
23. And I'm glad I was one of them.

Harold and Kumar: True Patriots
1. This new movie has the potential to do more for the values of citizenship than any Michael Moore agitprop.
2. Bottomless party... It's not about Nietzche...
3. I expected something like Kentucky Fried Movie meets Dude Where's My Car meets racial self-loathing... Which isn't exactly what I got.
4. Grape Soda. Sublime.
5. And the sotto voce "Fuck you man" from the porch.
6. This movie has the potential to undo more of the value of Neil Patrick Harris than any announcement about who he really sticks his dick inside.
7. The whole thing was a delightful romp, really. I laughed very hard, sometimes with the audience and sometimes against.
8. There's a problem with the wedding scene-- at least half the audience are Groom's side, aren't they? So why are they applauding?
9. I had no trouble at all sneaking the Grass Jelly drink into the theater. But I still didn't finish it.
10. "Did you two ever find love?" "Uh, no, we're whores."
11. Isn't this the guy from Super Troopers? Really? No?
12. It is of course the guy from "Better Luck Tomorrow," which is a superior film, but this is a worthy following.
13. Happily, you don't need to have seen the first movie, even though this is apparently an immediate sequel.
14. Unhappily, I have a feeling that the subversive aspect of this movie won't be there in the first one when I finally get to watch it.
15. There's something odd about the marijuana worship--it's really the most camp bit in an otherwise snappy and snarky and savvy film.
16. Oh yeah, the keyless entry scene with the convertible: That's the Better Luck Tomorrow character, yessir.
17. And that's the convertible I almost always let them upgrade me into when I rent from Hertz. Because, damn.
18. The final scenes worked, but only on the velocity of the first 4/5 of the movie. As I think about them now, they're a bit weak.
19. The last scene as the credits roll was great, though.
20. And the little moment after the credits was worth waiting for, though just barely.
21. "You don't have to trust your government to be a good American, you just have to love your country!" Yessir, if only.
22. The movie is almost, almost, awesome enough for me to forget about the anti-semitic scene being the one stereotype that is lifted up for ridicule but not pierced...
23. But even the girl-on-ganja-bag action didn't quite get me there...

Welcome to the drain.
1. Nothing wrong with my eyes kid, they're red 'cause I'm tired.
2. Yes it's a soft G and no you didn't overstate the credentials.
3. Of course if your wallet has $200 in it you're going to lose it in the first 6 hours.
4. I don't know where this poop story is headed, but you'll be able to tell when I get there.
5. I need a better manager.
6. It's been good, the staff is great and the kids are fun, but I've had much better launches on an organizational level, and that's my big challenge, obviously.
7. It wasn't really right to tempt her but it was better than just deciding for her.
8. It's actually deeply flattering that she offered to be my outside-camp-person as well.
9. Workbooks, sheets, water and more can be found for pick-up on top of the fridge.
10. Branner is so far away, it's like another camp.
11. I am so sorry that because you used snail mail I have to treat you as if you were a deadbeat in front of your daughter, though I'm not trying to.
12. I just wanted to check the times on that thing that we're not going to do at the time you told us to...
13. I'm glad you used the exercise I was planning on; it primed the pump for me to take the pay-off skits to the next level I've been fretting over.
14. You just described me at that age. Actually me today but that's way too much info.
15. Yes you can leave the room if you need to pee or bleed. Yes I should have phrased that to avoid the obvious inference.
16. You know that showing your comic to coworkers is almost automatically personal harrassment, right?
17. You're dying aren't you, because I didn't clarify a rotation.
18. You're starving aren't you, because I didn't schedule two pick ups.
19. You learn to juggle by starting with the first lesson, tossing a ball up in the air and seeing it drop.
20. I have not taken advantage of my opportunities to practice and right now I have a lot of balls in the air.
21. Some I care more about than others, some cost more than others, many don't really belong to me.
22. I dreamt of a very sexual relationship with a girl who had intense violence fetishes.
23. I am ready to let go of my attachment to people and situations that support my negligent behavior.

Which could have been but weren't
1. Krishna could have closed before I got the second set of materials there to be copied.
2. There could have been no karaoke machine at storage.
3. We could have remembered the storage key on our way out the first time and so had more time to look in the second room.
4. Kenya could have come and gone before I realized my phone labels needed to be updated.
5. Amanda could have been less than the awesome delightful person she is.
6. Jen could have decided to stick it out.
7. Jenny could have decided to shop elsewhere before turning to me.
8. Corey could have been unable to find the missing phone.
9. I could have forgotten completely about the "stack" Kenya was making for me.
10. The small claims letters could have been mailed.
11. I could have made it to the Ward house with Bret's gift.
12. I could have cut, bruised, or otherwise maimed myself.
13. The schedule could have gotten written.
14. The tech museum, other judge, and other boss could have all been contacted.
15. Elena, Diedra, Justine, Liz, or Munish could have been able to leap on the opening.
16. I might've eaten less jelly beans... or more.
17. I definitely could've eaten fewer fruity marshmallows.
18. I might've gotten to see Mike teach.
19. Ben's luggage could've arrived when he did.
20. Alex might have called me looking for a way to stay off the streets.
21. I could have started by ordering the outlook, rather than ending.
22. The Ragged Wing doc could have been more complete.
23. I might have gone to a meeting, or services.

One rising tide deserves another.
1. I miss Diedra, and I miss being deep in the thick of EU like Batman in the world of DC superheroes.
2. I can't wait until I can really enjoy being directly involved in the Ragged Wing production; right now it's just another pending chore.
3. It's lovely how a staff comes together if you have confidence that it will and call about in calm desperation as if it won't.
4. Tomorrow is yet another of these managers meetings where half the people attending aren't managers and will take up 2/3 of the air time.
5. The buck toothed hag of a wench who used to be our conference coordinator is still there, and not our problem any more.
6. Everybody had the tickets and passes ready as if I'd asked in advance, which was surprising given how haphazard and overwhelmed the office seems.
7. Still, I feel a disaster looms. Maybe to do with allergies, or the buses, or maybe nothing.
8. Another long damn hike between dorms but it's the women that will suffer.
9. Jen D. has that anxious gut pain of first time directors but she's carrying it with aplomb.
10. The new Doug definitely appears to be the best doug yet.
11. Munish had a great time talking with a group of students who look to his experience and career as a model, and I had a great time listening and thinking about attribution theory.
12. The national conference yesterday was fine, just fine, nothing I'm proud of or embarrassed by. The transitions were awkward and the prompts were over-wrought, but the dialogue was good and people seemed to like the ideas.
13. I wonder if Barbara will end up coming back before the computers are out of her office?
14. My car is not so filthy that Jen commented on it, but well overdue for a cleaning.
15. Breakfast and talk of the lengthened shadows of men, sure! And check out the collection of vintage jackets in the back of your station wagon afterwards, why not!
16. Your shirt matches your toe nails, and you're absolutely so friendly that I don't care that you've stymied me.
17. No, it's a pretty classic pattern of addictive behavior. If it weren't for the baseline capacity for respectful relationships, it would be a lot more manifestly self destructive though.
18. This year in Oakland, maybe as I am or as a kick-ass elementary school secretary.
19. Next year in Baltimore, in the teaching fellows program, probably.
20. After that teaching, and maybe getting an MBA
21. Year 4 or 5 depends on school, women, whether there's kids in the house, etc.
22. Year 5 or 6, an MFA program.
23. If I don't have kids of my own by the time I'm 40, into the Yeshiva with me.

The timing factor
1. Chase the 2 cups of beef jerky with two bottles of water and it doesn't hit the gut quite so hard.
2. Throw the diced onions and peppers into the rice chicken noodle broth at the end for 45 seconds and the flavor is still crisp throughout when it's all cold from the fridge the next day.
3. Pull the bag of gourmet peanut butter cups out of the trashbin from under the styrofoam container of month old hot + sour chow mein after only 30 minutes and they're probably still okay to eat.
4. Rewash and redry the clothes that sat in the washer for 3 weeks and got some tiny mold spots and they'll be clean enough to wear except for the spots of und dissolved detergent...
5. Calling two days before it's likely to see 'em is the way to not make it seem like my hand was forced. Of course, not calling at all works, but looks a lot like just not wanting to call...
6. Holding all them bags up for me to grab and start stuffing works, but then putting the bags back down doesn't save me any time and makes me bend over.
7. Hey point man? You put bags on top of the power strip and you didn't stick around long enough to help us stuff the last booklet when we remembered it. Good job giving me a chance to tease you.
8. Team, you should know better than to let me call a meeting for one hour.
9. Team, you should know better than to let me dismiss your reminders about my parking meter.
10. Meter, why couldn't you have jammed like the one later in Hayward?
11. When you don't buy a drink right away, you end up chatting all night and never paying for the privilege of the space.
12. Hmm, the time for us to talk about how busy this week and last are was two weeks ago. But it's a source of friction now so let's hash it out soon.
13. I didn't mean to be passive aggressive about not picking up bagels today (two days before we'll eat them). I honestly just forgot.
14. Of course I'll write and send a note saying whatever you think I ought. Just tell me what that is.
15. It's nice to follow up a mass email request with a report, I guess. And that ought to happen sooner, but then again I'm proud of myself for getting the mass emails out at all...
16. The last tip taps before they shut the doors need to go faster but my fingernails are still a bit in the way.
17. One week after you sent me the two week notice to return my broke phone is a little early to send me final notice before billing me, isn't it?
18. The time to write a comic review is right after reading it, so I won't read 'em yet.
19. The time to put things away is when you put them down.
20. The best time to be wide awake while driving is when you pass by someone nodding off and can be totally attentive to their fatigue.
21. The sax player's glad I took the laptop off my lap in case I decide I need to use my motility some day.
22. That resume came in, that other one went out, and the stack of apps was a successful gambit though not much came of it.
23. Be there in time to see who's on time... That ought to be my motto when I catch up with myself...

Scan, dammit, scan!
1. Two In'n'out burgers, no cheese or sauce, with grilled onions (so they gave me nothing but burger, bun and onions?)
2. In'n'out chocolate shake (I would have bought a large but they didn't offer so I ate less)
3. In'n'out fries (yummy greasy crunchy. For some reason most of San Diego smelled like this on Sunday).
4. One quarter of tollhouse (?) premade cookie-dough package
5. Some salami slices. Maybe 8 or 12.
6. Bread, guacamole, chips, salsa...
7. That chai bottled drink thing.
8. "Share" sized M&Ms
9. Two bags of pretzels
10. The new sun chip flavor.
11. Two 7-11 cookies
12. Two bottles of Deja Blue water.
13. A Skor bar
14. Kentucky fried strips and popcorn chicken and potato wedges.
15. Kentucky fried strips and popcorn chicken.
16. Ikura, Sake, Maguro, Tamago, Miso, Tempura, but dammit I forgot Hamachi!
17. What's redtail called?
18. Peanut granola bars. One? Two?
19. Southwest coffee, Comfort Inn coffee.
20. Southwest OJ
21. BarCampLA carrots, snap peas, and wraps.
22. Ginger ale and 7-up
23. Humble pie

Simon Says "Don't get shot!"
1. Probably my favorite costume was the guy with the pink monkey mask and his emo friend, who I christened "Jiggly Puff and Goth Puff!" They laughed every time they walked by.
2. Only one truly amazing costume, all dangles and bangles and sort of geisha fabulous with long metal nails.
3. Many greats, though, including a pink godzilla, a white flava flav, and the four girl scouts who were among our first contestants (and gave me a champagne badge!)
4. When a hot girl in a scout outfit says "I just need a boyscout," and I say, "Well, we've got a marching band leader," and point to you in your excellent outfit and you fail to get the digits, well, that's punting it, buddy.
5. "No, I don't know whose house this is. Do you think I'd play Simon Says in the street in front of my friends' house?"
6. Some people like Banana Runts and some don't, but nobody freaked out that they were the prize for winning.
7. Simon says put your hands on your hips!
Simon says put your hands on someone else's hips!
Simon said hips! Not tits!
8. Simon says salute the police officers, keeping us safe and somewhat subdued.
9. The ladies across the street were yelling from their stairwell for an hour or so, getting a lot more jeers than we were, and then they came over and flirted with my friends the italian soccer player and the phantom bandit... but they came over because of me, right? Right.
10. Laptop carrying guy! My favorite costume all night! Craig Newmark, right? I love your website!
11. Simon says don't drive over my orange cones as you leave. Simon says honk your horn. Now roll forward. Ooop, you're out! Simon didn't say!
12. A girl dressed up as a member of the press grilled me about my masturbation habits. Position, use of household items, etc. Was she surprised by my candor? Naah, she probably expects that of everybody dressed in orange.
13. I'm a traffic control person. A werewolf traffic control person. No, not at a fashion show, at an airport. Well, based on last year, I didn't really expect any conversations where I'd have to explain what I was. See, I didn't expect anybody to be able to string together two syllables. Next year, I guess I'll come up with something clever and punny. I'll wear a dress and cover my head in leaves and say I'm a Trans Plant. Yep, that's totally just as funny to you as it was to me when I met the guy who wore it to the co-op party on Friday!
14. A big red Cardinal (Catholic, not St. Louis) and his girlfiriend in a monk's frock with an ankh necklace came by, almost joined the game, then went down three more blocks and caught a bus right back up, got off again, and were pleasantly boisterous when I jeered them.
15. The most pretty princess of all! Nicole rocks but she totally wasn't a generic princess--she was Snow White all the way.
16. Hey, when I tossed off that line about "yeah, the Castro party is dying year by year, but the only things that don't eventually die are the ones that were never alive," I didn't mean to knock you off your bike and onto your ass to sit on the stoop and nurse your 40. Seriously, I really don't know these people.
17. Man, cute pink and blue matching onesies! You're a pair of cute cute babies! Except your boyfriend is screaming at you as you walk to the car. Wow, it must suck to get in a fight with someone in a matching costume...
18. And wham, bang, people fell down the stairs and Claria cracked her head open. Yep, I'll drive you all home if it helps you decide to drive her to the hospital afterwards...
19. No Daimian, you enjoy the girls I got to come over, I'm just gonna fetch my car and drive this girl with the broken head back home.
20. No Gabriel, I don't have your pony, I'm just a little lost driving in circles between Geary, Stanyan, 19th Ave, and Presidio Parkway, coming back from the Sunset.
21. But whatshisname the social worker in the fireman's outfit with his thumb out gave me 8$ for giving him a ride, and add that to the $5 from the girl who wore eggs and bacon and went home with the broken girl, that makes $10 after you take out the toll. Not bad.
22. Ninjas, Marilyns, and plenty of Pirates. I didn't end up seeing the Royal Navy but I sure heard about them.
23. Simon says, "Finish the night with a summer sausage and a rootbeer in the hot-tub," and I did.

Observations after a day of inobservance
1. Amanda Peet's character on Studio 60 may really be a Mary Sue. I want to see her do some serious HR middle management heavy lifting...
2. LA takes Yom Kippur as a holiday?
3. Buying an extra pack of lox makes it easier for me to refrain from eating all the lox.
4. Half a white onion, half a red onion, half a red pepper, and garlic, fried in oil and margarine, over angel hair pasta, works pretty well.
5. Two nut bars and a vitamin water make a healthy meal despite the chex-mix.
6. That tupperware in the freezer under the vodka bottles has cookie dough in it.
7. This guy's epiphanic moments of existential self appraisal are, well, reifiriffic.
8. According to my mother, everyone in the ER waiting room says their pain is about an 8 on a scale of 1 to 10. And my Dad's hit a 12 last night. She says.
9. Dammit I just came up here to the other computer to look up something else. What the hell was it? Dammit!
10. Oh RIGHT! It was to check whether Jane Kim was still running for School Board in SF.
11. Robert Crumb's brother I didn't know he had is still alive.
12. "Heroes" is far more a rip-off of Demo than of X-men. With a little bit of "Muties" thrown in.
13. Apparently registering to make comments on this wordpress blog allows one to write new posts?
14. Defaker is gone, back into the net-ether, a baby marketing virus strangled and smothered in its crib.
15. The 10 minute rule for criticizing a play is a good one.
16. Whatshisname, Chandler's character (oh Matthew Perry I guess) on Studio 60, wasn't doing cocaine at the end... but he was looking suspicious...
17. There's a Jewish Autonomous Region in the ex-USSR? When did that happen?
18. CW stands for Columbia Warner, probably.
19. Douglas Rushkoff is a very good friend of Robert Anton Wilson.
20. Manisha's birthday is the same as my Mother's, which I knew but did not remember.
21. All those black carts are back to storage for now.
22. There are still things with my handwriting on them, | | |
