Ivory Tower Fun!
I love my job. No, really. But there are aspects that set my teeth on edge after a while. The upside? Good cartoon fodder.

Academic (Retreat) Poetry
How many of us have been subject to the institutional "retreat?" Upon the occasion of our last retreat at UConn I offer you these poetic words:
Bylaws
Bylaws overlap
My brain becomes fuzz
Paying attention?
Not me.
Goals
"Deliverables" and "goals"
Many feign seriousness
Sleep comes
Where is the coffee?
Mission Statement
Mission statement
Everyone adds 2¢
A collective $2.46
Improvement?
Impossibly... More
Overhead projector shines
Certain headache begins
My life passes by
As air conditioners blast
Bylaws
Bylaws overlap
My brain becomes fuzz
Paying attention?
Not me.
Goals
"Deliverables" and "goals"
Many feign seriousness
Sleep comes
Where is the coffee?
Mission Statement

As air conditioners blast
He is the King! So Obviously.

Happy holiday season, from the King and I.
Make the King a part of your religious practice today. He can heal you.
Work is Good. Coffee is Better.

A Picture is Worth 1,000 Inoculations
We will travel with my sister to Ethiopia this spring. This is how the trip looks from here. Plus, I want to live on graph paper. I love it that much.

The F-Train, In Which the "F" Stands For "Fakin' It!"
There are times I don't even want to get off the train because the subject matter is just too available. The last time that happened I fell asleep and ended up at Sheepshead Bay.
Still, it was worth it.

The Early Bird Special
Actual drink created by our motley crew of holiday revelers last summer (the lesbian gang "straight outta (Little) Compton, (RI)," that is). It's actually pretty good and will give you the irresistible urge to wear big ol' plaid boxer shorts.

Academics! Heal Thyselves!
When I'm not busy being an artist or an academic, I dabble in medicine.
Just like any other middle-aged woman.

Or so he thinks... the MBTA is a modern stage and we are merely players. Well, some of us are just the audience.

Facial Hair + Food = No
Pizza Farm was an interesting project engaging young designers with a social conscience with the local food community. Check it out here at: ChangeObserver. Less interesting? Some of the cooks...

Viva, Villa Mexico!
Yes, Villa Mexico is located in Grampy's Gas Station. Not near. In. |
Villa Mexico
The menu. BTW, the Mole Poblano Burrito is bueno! |
Julie King cooks. Or, makes magic, as you'll find out. Don't leave without some of her homemade salsa. You've been warned. |
Dine in! |
House rules. Hygiene is king! |
Dinner! And auto maintenance! Perfect together. And perfectly safe! The marinated chicken burrito is featured here, along with a great deal on Power Steering Fluid. |
