5/8: a good vote
...at the faculty meeting today. (A calendar change with too many potential pitfalls got voted down.)
5/7: seeing
...photos of Loretta Dunkelman's Ice Sky and Park Seo-Bo's Newspaper Ecritures. (I got to spend a little time with Artforum today.)
5/5: slipping in
...a walk this morning before finishing some grading and heading to campus.
...and a grocery run. (At the store, one woman said she liked my haircut and another said she liked my outfit, and those nice comments from strangers made me feel like the world could be a friendlier place than I often think it to be.)
5/4: fresh & remembered
Two good things on my walk today made me remember good things from recent days.
I saw a periwinkle butterfly! And that reminded me that Chris showed me a tarantula in our yard yesterday!
I picked a wild raspberry! And that reminded me that I talked with the Myth students about the mulberry trees (with now-ripening fruit) on campus, since we just finished discussing Pyramus and Thisbe. Earlier in the week I pulled a ripe berry from one of the trees as I passed by it, and I encouraged the students to do the same.
5/3: despite
...vertigo (and a late start while I was trying to disspell it), I commented on half of my students' altered pages today.
5/2: listening
...to some of a new-to-me Brian Eno album while I got ready for work: The Pearl, a collaboration with Harold Budd. It turned out to be perfect for a rainy morning, though I didn't know that when I decided to give it a try.
5/1: realizing
...that I had bills that needed to be paid today! Luckily that fact popped into my head as I was ironing my clothes this morning, so I was able to take a few minutes and pay them online before heading to work. Phew. It's just been too busy recently for me to keep everything straight, and I've been relying on sticky notes rather than my calendar book. Lesson: I need to get back to using my calendar book.
