Mamacita says: 1. Ugly Betty is starting to get on my nerves. Why can’t these people just tell the truth to each other? 2. Scrubs is over. It had a good ending, but I’m still sad. 3. Waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting. . . . the phone rang all day with annoying robots and wrong numbers, [...]

Mamacita says: Emily Dickinson knew me; that’s the only explanation. How else could she have. . . . known? This first poem helped me understand faith. The second confirmed my belief that Dickinson rocked because Katie Rose Belford and her mother both mentioned it and loved it. And you know something; when one of a [...]

Mamacita says: Once upon a time, there was a lady who had two sweet little cats named Vera and Millie. One day, it was discovered that Vera and Millie liked to pee on the carpet on the landing at the foot of the stairs, behind a big mirror which was supposed to be hanging on [...]

Mamacita says: it would do me no good to try and write an introduction to a list of quotations about books and reading, because I’d probably say something about how I consider non-readers to be substandard citizens and card-carrying members of the Stupid Society, and that wouldn’t be conducive to the upholding of my toplofty [...]

Mamacita says: I first encountered Gerard Manley Hopkins’ Spring and Fall and Robert Burns’ John Anderson, My Jo in a college course. Unfortunately, the professor was a jaded, bored, boring man who considered himself far too important to be teaching a group of eager undergrads, and who turned every selection into a joke. Both poems, [...]

Mamacita says: part of this post is from another post that I deleted before I wrote down the date. I’m so tech savvy and organized. This semester, I will have to say that most of my students have been exceptionally fine. Lovely, hard-working, sincere people who genuinely want to improve themselves, so they can improve [...]

Mamacita says: I’m pretty much living on Diet Coke. But that’s okay, because, in the words of Credence Clearwater Revival: There’s a bathroom on the right. You know how you always think you can drive well even though you’re so tired, you’re almost comatose? Yeah, key word “think.” I actually frightened myself driving home this [...]

Mamacita says: I’m tired of reading about dishonor. Today’s Quotation Saturday focuses on HONOR – a trait many people have turned their backs on in favor of . . . other, more selfish and self-serving traits. 1. Honor isn’t about making the right choices. It’s about dealing with the consequences. –Midori Koto 2. Rather fail [...]
