Observations, 10/3/16

1.     My fellow NYC bicyclists are becoming more aggressive, inconsiderate and vulgar than cab drivers.

2.     Sikhs practice place before religion; hence, when they identify as “American” they are more sincerely nationalistic than most Christians.

3.     ComicCon is next weekend and payday is Friday. A totally fucked combination.

4.     Siri is listening: When Maria and I have a conversation with points or facts that need verifying, we pull out our iPhones. Whatever it is we are searching for always appears as the first suggestion after just one or two typed letters.  “C,” “h”… Google: “The Chariot tarot card.” Really? How? Ahhhh. We’re screwed.

5.     The hardest part of grading essays for me is getting the papers out of my bag. Once they’re out, I’m committed. Once I’m committed, I’m an asshole. Now I’m an asshole and I feel really bad for my students.
