I?
Have nothing interesting to say. Lesson planning? Impending snowmageddon? Tail end of flu from hell? Nope. Not interesting. So, I’ll be over here and, uh, if something interesting happens, I’ll be sure to report it. Til then: I’ll, well, I’ll be boring.

WE SHOULD START AN INSECURE BAND.
Wait...

redheadscientist asked: I always read your username as cathair tumbleweeds. I thought cath-air sounded like a pretty cool name. I just realized it is probably cat hair.
This isn't a question but I figured it out when I saw your ask post.

I'm Fishing, Clearly.
I’m bored, at home on a Saturday night with the tail end of the flu while the rest of y’all are doing exciting things with exciting people. So, put a question or something in my AskBox, won’t you? I ask this sometimes. I rarely get an overwhelming response. But I figure, what the hell. Can’t hurt to try, right? Someone, entertain me, won’t you?

First Car Meme
My first car was a Toyota 4-Runner. It was brand spanking new. I got it on my 16th birthday. I was totally, utterly spoiled but didn’t realize it because I lived in a weird little bubble where that was normal. My sister got a BMW 3 Series for her first car. Yes, it’s totally okay to hate me. In retrospect, it seems ludicrous. I mean, I was a good kid, got good grades, stayed out of...

“I’m not praising the public library service for money. I love the public library...”
– Philip Pullman (via) I love libraries. We’re fortunate to have some very nice ones in Chicago. I love the smell of old books, wandering through the stacks into the obscure reference sections, flipping through enormous books on bizarre topics that must have been the life’s work of some...

Tumbleweeds?
This tumbleweeds thing has been throwing me off all day. Probably because of the high fever, but every time I see it I’m like what? Who? Tumbleweeds? Me? My original blog has been http://www.cathairtumbleweeds.com for…about 8 years, I think? I’m not in love with that domain name these days, honestly, and eventually I’m going to be getting rid of it and moving over to...

mentalextensions: tymethiefslongerthoughts: Typically don’t eat there… but after this, I think I’m going to make that permanent. Closing on sundays for ‘the lord’s day’ was enough to turn me off. Anyway. Fuck them! All they’re good for is their waffle fries and let’s face it. ALL fries are good. Ain’t no thang. DAMMIT. I guess that chicken sammich I ate with Matt and Amy in December is gonna...

I. Uh. Whaa? Um. So. Yeah.
I’ve officially reached the level of exhaustion wherein I have lost the ability to do any sort of cognitive processing (although I can say “cognitive processing”, so there’s that). If you don’t see me much between now and Friday evening I’m either: a) asleep or b) at school WISHING I was asleep. Lights out is officially at 8:30 tonight. Here’s to hoping...

fuckyeahitskao:  naimhe replied to your post:  carpejoseph replied to your photo: Dear Mr. El… If you had any idea how pretty (and exotic) you look, you’d stop hiding from the camera and worrying about whether you’re unattractive or not. Why would I lie? I don’t even know you. Trust me on this one. Seriously. Exotic? EXOTIC?! Oh god, you’ve made my lifetime.  No seriously, that’s the one thing...
