An Eventful Day
Today involved:
- A migraine upon waking up (always fun!!!!)
- A TON of smoke in the air and, along with it, a very smoky run this morning. I tried wearing a mask for part of it but running in a mask is freaking hard, yo
- The first day of classes which, for me, just involved ASHA (or standing around while Rob introduced ASHA, as I’m teaching next semester and he’s taking charge of this semester)
- An at-home vet check-up for Pepper (just because taking her to the vet seemed to really stress her out)
I hope this isn’t indicative of how the rest of the semester will go.
Edit from mid-October: HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
SMELL YA LATER?????? ? ??? ?
Hi.
This is a really great article that discusses both the sense of smell (and the loss of it) and how we as a species have kind of lost our connection to food due to how we treat it as a “product” and have removed the sensory experiences of it.
Factorial Factory
BOOSH
As some of the comments say, a number of these could be really useful in understanding/expressing series. Unfortunately, I’ve never heard of any of these being explicitly taught.
BOOM BOOM SHAKALAKA BOOM
I DON’T EVEN KNOW
First, go to this nifty online random-letter generator. Set the “number of random letter sequences to generate” to 1. Set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 1. Leave the “letters to choose from” how it is and click the button. You’ll get a rather non-dramatic one letter. Use that letter to begin all your answers to the 5 questions below. Alternately, if you find that boring, you could set the “length of each random letter sequence” to 5, thereby giving you five letters, a different one for each question.
What random letter was generated by the online random-letter generator (this doesn’t really count as one of your five questions)?
My letters are F I L R S. Let’s do it!
What article of clothing, whose name begins with the letter, have you never worn?
F – Fur coat
I – Infinity scarf
L – Leather pants
R – Romper
S – Shawl
What book, whose title begins with the letter, are you looking forward to reading?
F – Finnegans Wake (Joyce) (I’m actually terrified of this book, but it’s the only “F” I have left on my list, haha)
I – Invisible Man (Ellison)
L – Les Miserables (Hugo)
R – The Red Badge of Courage (Crane)
S – Scoop (Waugh)
What mode of transportation, whose name begins with the letter, seems like it would be fun?
F – Ferry
I – …Ice skating?
L – Leaping (that’s a mode of transportation, fight me)
R – Rocket
S – Scooter
What form of exercise, whose name begins with the letter, have you recently engaged in?
F – Fast walking
I – (I have no idea, haha)
L – Lunges (in physical therapy)
R – Running!
S – Squats (also physical therapy)
What fictional character, whose name begins with the letter, would be good company on a long trip?
F – Fogg (as in Phileas)
I – Iron Man!
L – Lumiere (I LIKE HIM A LOT, OKAY?)
R – Rex (either the dino from Toy Story or the dino from We’re Back!…both are good)
S – Starbuck
Ugh
Had my first migraine in a while today. I don’t know why the frequency has dropped off so much lately, but I’ll certainly take it. Last year around this same time I was having one almost every other week. I don’t think I’ve had one since March this year.
I wish I knew what triggered them.
