Ants on a Blog
AN OPEN LETTER TO KABULO
Thanks for the e-mail. It was very entertaining. You're right to be hesitant about saying "blog," because the word "blog" is stupid. It's about as cool and un-contrived as "za." But some day "blog" will sound as natural to us as "fridge," "pants," and "flibbertigibbet." Also, thanks for the scientific explanation of your immaculate kitten conception. You lost me with some of those technical words like "antibiotic," but maybe I'll know what you're talking about after I get done with Pharmaco this summer.
And ... congratulations on the big move? Are you just renting a space to paint and store vaccuum tubes, or are you going to be living there? And please tell me more about your tooth implant; I'm dying to know.
in six weeks they are going to put a screw into my jawbone and then my dentist will put a crown on the screw. that is my implant.
this experience has made me realize how much i want to always have teeth. mashed potatoes and smoothies are okay, but only for a day or so. (I say smoothie, but this is denton. it's really just a frosty.)
is it possible that the anti-inflammatories are knocking me out? i feel pretty stoned.
Maybe my age is showing, but I can't imagine ever saying, "I'm going to order a za. Anybody want some of this hot pie action?"
I am so freakin bored with your blog. post, chase, post!
I assign my students to groupwork, peer critique, in-class writing, etc, all so I can stay current on blogs like this. You making me consider trying to be a better teacher.
...but then there's always the onion.
