Tired of looking at the FedEx rant I wrote so long ago and then discovered this blank post–#85–sitting in my draft box. Hmm, what was I thinking about? Who knows, who ever knows! But it’s blank and as a writer, I need to fill it up. But with what? Let’s start with personal drivel: I’m heading to campus to work at the Swem Library Media Cente<\/a>r for most of the day, but it’s too early. I love the work, helping to set up a multimedia production studio complete with 5 sound proof booths and lots of great equipement. I got to work on the tutorial for Final Cut Pro last week…much better than the usual GAship that includes certification as a copier technician by the end of your program. <\/p>\n

In interest of full disclosure, the FedEx thing worked out fine…the driver got the message and called to be sure I was home. He also told me just to leave a note the next time, and he would leave the package.<\/p>\n

This really is drivel, isn’t it? Guess that’s why I have trouble keeping up with this personal blog: can’t imagine that anyone is interested in my personal doings! I pictured it as a book review blog, but mostly what I am NOT doing right now that bothers me is reading. I’ve started a couple books–Philip Jackson’s Life in Classrooms and Barry Miles’ biography of Allen Ginsburg. But I can’t seem to get to them, end up instead in bed with the remote in my hand, surfing crappy television. In fact, my television show is just a series of 20-second vignettes, a string of commercials, football games, court room dramas, sitcoms, just enough of them to form a story that I visit the next time round the dial. It’s like peering into your neighbors’ windows but only for a moment. So, my goal this week is to avoid television and spend more time with a book in my hand.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
