You have a lovely way with words, must be the way you see the world

POSTED ON April 29, 2008 BY vanessa

Dude I have not felt like writing mostly because I’ve been depressed.  There.  I said it.  No, I haven’t been nipped by a shark, I haven’t lost my cat, (which would be hard since I don’t have one), nor anything … Continue reading →

NAB, Vol. 2, Day 1

POSTED ON April 14, 2008 BY vanessa

Q. Why was the policeman in bed?*

POSTED ON April 9, 2008 BY vanessa

In college I used to buy Laffy Taffy every single day. They sold vanilla, my favorite, though occasionally I’d slum it with banana. Last night before teaching, I went in to the convenience store to get some gum. Right at … Continue reading →

POSTED ON April 8, 2008 BY vanessa

I’m really grateful for this teacher training. *** Boo KU. *** I like how China calls the global protests of the passing of the Olympic torch, “dispicable.” Really, China? As if you had a shred of moral ground to stand … Continue reading →

POSTED ON April 2, 2008 BY vanessa

I have some work stuff going on and had to miss writing class tonight.  I’ve been thinking of what my final show could be/would be/should be and I’ve come up with a big fat zero.  Blanks. And worse?  Tick-tock.   … Continue reading →
