Thursday night, kids are restless, overcast sky and the air growing cooler. Today was the last day of the work week and tonight feels like a Friday night. The house is a mess but I’m ok with that since we’ll clean tomorrow. The house feels pleasantly messy. I’m sure you know what I mean.

So what happened this week? Let me think. Too many metaphorical fires emerged at work. They were annoying but manageable. I’m feeling somewhat burned out and I’m looking forward to finishing the assessment class in two weeks (starts Monday) and getting out of town.

Week highlights…bullet points:

• Last night N said a contestant on Wipeout was hit in his “babymaker”. Apparently he learned the word at park and rec. At least he has the context correct.
• I’m reading Hidden Camera but not enjoying the book all that much. I can’t entirely blame the author, though, as I’ve read a ton lately and might need time away from literature. I don’t know. This weekend is largely open, so I could probably knock the sucker out with longer stretches on the front porch. Maybe I’ll get in the mood.
• I’m set to play hoops tomorrow for the first time in a couple weeks and the last time in a month. I’ll try not to suck.
• A friend burned me an, ahem, questionable copy of Coraline, but I haven’t gotten around to watching it yet.
• Seth McClung sucks.
• I like getting coffee at work. I like walking through the halls and talking with the student behind the coffee counter, and I like walking back to my office and drinking the coffee. I know almost everyone in the halls and the campus feels like a movie set with an extended camera shot trailing my path.
• We might get a sitter (thanks, Kelvyn) tomorrow night and check out “The Hangover”.
• Tomorrow I want to visit Cedarburg’s farmer’s market and maybe Costco.
• S just asked me if I ever read Moby Dick.
• More later. Good night.
