Fancy Time

Posted on 20:48 by mohit
When the weather gets nice and the schoolwork starts piling up I do something to avoid doing anything productive: I try on everything my closet (I will also bake like a demon). I thought I was pathetic and alone until my friend Jess told me she does the same thing. In fact, just a few days ago she found an amazing red cocktail dress in her closet that she "never has an excuse to wear." Well that was that, we had to have a fancy pants party to celebrate....

TWEEN QUEEN: THE BIRTH OF TWEEN STUDIES

Posted on 13:13 by mohit
Tween Studies. It started out as a joke between Trish, Thelms, and me. Then Thelms gave me the most delicious sack filled with Tween Movie goodies (Spice World, check!) Here in Iowa it has evolved into a full on Thing. I find myself literally daydreaming about what texts and clips to include in my Jordan Catalano 101 course. "How to Lean Properly Whilst Pulling at the Cuffs of Your Flannel" is part of Day 1's lesson plan.A few weeks ago some friends...

Friends, it is currently 7:11 p.m. and the SUN IS STILL SHINING! This is a breakthrough that entirely stuns and delights me. Fridays are good days in general, but today was particularly lovely:1. The sun shone high and bright so I donned the green polka dot sundress2. The students "LOVE!LOVE!LOVE!"

Springtime is not just for Hitler, or Germany

Posted on 12:54 by mohit
This morning I drove D-fab to the airport in Illinois. To get there you have to cross the Mississippi River on this bridge that, if you're driving towards it at night, literally looks like it's going to eat you (I don't know how it's possible for a structure to be darker than dark but this bridge does it with terrifying aplomb). Anyway. This morning it just looked like a bridge, blue metal latticing up the sky. As we drove towards it Dylan asked,...

One year ago

Posted on 00:26 by mohit
I made, hands down, one of the best decisions of my life--to come to Iowa! I knew April 15 was important for a reason more than taxes... It's hard to comprehend the beautiful and insane things that have happened between then and now, but I will say that I am so very pleased with how things have turned out.Soon I will have reports on the New Orleans adventure, including some tales about pirates, po'boys, mansions, and one amazing screening of Jim Henson's eternally creepy Dark Crystal. Until then, I will just say that I am a full on convert to bread...

being an adult 2.0

Posted on 22:08 by mohit
I'm really rooting for 2009. This is mostly because I'm officially trying to be an adult. This means real forays into the intricate world of taxes, insurance, acquiring furniture (secondhand/dumpster dives count!), and oil changes,--you know, grown up things. I'm learning how to talk patiently about printer models and gas prices and the economy (things that usually bore me to tears). But being an adult is not all about learning how to cope with and explain boring things. It's about learning how to mourn and heal, how to rejoice, how to love earnestly...

Proud Parent

Posted on 13:20 by mohit
Iowa's great for many things like, for instance, raising herds of fainting goats (if you have not heard about these magnificent creatures, please read here). I wanted to see some fainting goats. Warren agreed that it sounded like a fine idea. The plan was simple: email Timberside Farms to get 1) information and 2) an actual address, drive out to Brighton, take oodles of pictures where we either scare the goats stiff or cradle the little babies in...

An Open Letter to the Creator of the Peekaru:

Posted on 22:25 by mohit
Unacceptable.XoXoxO,AmyPS: I am so intrigued and terrified by everything in this diagram. I mean--what the?PPS: I would not say "no" if I were offered a Peekaru for free. I would carry lots of things in it, including but not limited to: babies, baby goats, baby bears, baby unicorns, and any other small precious adorable things that will not stretch out the "pleated seams for baby" (preferably this small precious adorable thing would have the suffix...
