Oil regulators claim Oklahoma's wastewater incidents are under control.

Christ says that your soul is a reflection of what you put into yourself.

My mom's best friend is a married landlord. Her favorite feed is a "RAW" community shit-talk page.

I learned of a new author in the spring and she called him a "propagandist" to my face, lol.

I've decided that since I'm most productive from 10 pm to 2 am that, now, that time occurs at high noon.

That's right. Farmers? Better fuck your whole schedule up because my daytime PRODUCTION is PARAMOUNT and thus DAYTIME is now legally in the middle of the night.

There's a student who, when acknowledging an email, will call me boss. I've been Boss, Big Boss, today I was Sauce Boss. Will keep you all informed.

Haven't practiced mi espanol in a while. Feel guilty doing that when I have grading to do. And I'm a procrastinator, so I always have grading to do. I should have worked hard doing a few more chapters this summer :(
