I mentioned this once in a newsletter, but it continues to be a problem for me. Have you ever noticed that if you say, “Thanks […]

crap no. 21

By movita beaucoup on March 9, 2016 in crap i’ve been meaning to tell you about

Last week, a few of my students asked about my high school experience in the 80’s. What did we wear? What were record stores like? Were there richie kids? Did I make my own prom dress?

By movita beaucoup on January 15, 2016 in crap i’ve been meaning to tell you about, physiology
