Bug

I'm doing a lot of bug research*, right now, for an upcoming project. You may see more of these.

By the way, you might notice that I've expanded the blogroll of my students to include former students, as well. It seemed like a good way to keep track of what people are up to. If you're not listed, but would like to be, drop me a line.

* Research here, of course, means drawing lots pictures with no particular regard to accuracy, or even so much as bothering to read the captions under the photographs. I'm just collecting shapes, really.

Love is the Bug I'm Thinking of

The birds and bees,
The mites on trees,
They each have a gal they c’n snuggle and squeeze.
Oh, ev’ry little bug has a honey to hug.
You can see,
The firefly don’ haff t’cry,
He knows from the glow that’s his gal going by.
Oh, ev’ry little bug has a honey to hug but me.

The lovely wife has been out of town for FOUR WHOLE DAYS! In that span, I've:
1. Grown a Grizzly Adams beard.
2. Eaten nothing but salsa and crumbs found in the crease of the futon.
3. Changed clothes .025 times.
4. Stared forlornly at the phone/ out the window/ towards the ceiling so much that you can actually see where my gaze has worn groves in the surfaces.

It's not that the wife takes care of me, it's just that I have no motivation to do anything when she's away. What's the point?

Le sigh.

But she comes home tonight! YEE-HAW!
