Almost as cool as when my entirely white rural high school English class read Raisin in the Sun out loud to each other. In “accents”.

You never heard of Birdie?… She’s the dog who made the Mailman run in less than twelve doggie-secs.

You Must Hate Dogs (starring John Woofsack).

That’s your mom’s boyfriend: Steve Winwood

Steve Winwood, sometimes I’m suspicious that you’re my dad.

These comments have made me realize, as nothing else has, that our world is changing and diversifying. Everybody’s childhood babysitters had names like Amy, and Eileen and Laurie. The teens who sit on my babies are going to be named things like Trystanda, Orangello, Ludacristina or Bella. And I love that, not just because I love America, but because it will make my kids feel like every day with the sitter is a bonkers fantasy adventure.

I tried to make a TGIF comment in class today, because I strive to seem like a normal casual human, and my mild mannered professor got so angry that she told me if I didn’t want to put in the effort to learn I shouldn’t be in the class and then she added “REALLY” just so I knew she wasn’t tossing around cliches haphazardly. She then yelled out a speech about her integrity and stormed out of class early. This would be bad enough if not for the fact that I’m only studying at this university because it was what my English professor grandfather wanted out of me and he died two weeks ago leaving me to consider if this is where I really belong. All I said was “this is too much for Friday afternoon”.

The point is, this afternoon is a bizarro world where all of the dancing .gifs are like daggers in my heart and even copulating horses are a welcome distraction.

It’s weird that his bathroom mirror is also his rear view mirror.

Troy: “Why did he call ME?”

You know that guy who gets offended and walks out toward the beginning of every episode? I think that is a pretty good gag so I take his cue and turn off the TV.
