words words words

"the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice" MLK, Jr. I read that today and liked it. Not sure if that's an exact quote but close enough.

all i've done for the last few days is read...so many words.
i'm taking a course at the moment, curriculum development. it's basic but still so much reading that my highlighter is going to run dry soon. so in the off moments when i'm not reading the educational philosophy wordiness, i'm grabbing everything else. just finished newsweek with barack obama gracing the cover. i like him. that's where the quote came from. it's going to be an interesting Dem. primary. I think it will be more telling of America than the actual election. i also need to read his audacity of hope book. it's on the list. the list is too long.

in other reading i'm trying to become the pat conroy expert but have a ways to go and have to put that on hold because where's the time for that? i did find a cool new magazine today though. i have a secret obsession with magazines that i might of mentioned before. they're noncommittal and shiny. that is why i love them. i don't feel guilty putting them down like i do when i have to stop reading every word that someone writes like i'm doing with conroy. i could be reading conroy instead of writing this post couldn't i? ahh, details. so this magazine i found is called Good. i don't think it's brand spanking new or anything. i think i just realized it existed. it says it is a magazine "for people who give a damn." i want really badly to be a person who gives a damn. sometimes i fail at that because there's so much going on right in front of me and i seem to only give a damn about that, but this magazine is cool because it looks at all the hot topics of the time that we should be giving a damn about but are maybe not right in front of us or they are in front of us but we have our eyes closed to them. it's cool so you should check it out. it also has a weird picture of michael stipe in turquoise pants inside the front cover, which was shocking because that's an image i haven't seen before. it's an ad for something but i'm just stuck with stipe in green pants at the moment. i'll look again and figure that out.

what else what else?

my poor pup, lily, is losing her womanhood this week. friday is the big day. she has no idea and is bouncing around happily. i will have to break the news soon. normally Will would be around to assist in these matters but as he is a working man and i work in public ed and have the summer off it will be me doing the delivering of the puppy with woman parts and the picking up of the puppy without woman parts. this will be sad because i hate leaving the dogs anywhere because they are my pseudo children and so i will probably cry.
