my dad said if he ever got to produce ride the cyclone, for the ballad of jane doe he'd get his magician friend to set up a trick where Jane's head and body are separated, and her body is being spun on those circus target boards while her head is singing.

what do you even do on an evening like this. Yesterday, we went to see the christmas market with my friend because the other option was to sit at home and hit the "refresh" button every minute or so. Today, I am alone in the apartment, even the cats left for the lady who agreed to catsitting during christmas time when the flat is empty. I should be mourning, and I mourn, although it's somehow second-hand as I never met any of the deceased personally - but my friends do, they mourn the late Jan Dlask, who was their teacher and friend. "He was always so careful about everything, always worried," I was told today. "He was always worried about his mother. God, I am now worried about his mother, she is 80 and alone!" He was an expert on finno-swedish literature. "Oh, we used to joke that he was the best in the field because he was the only one here!" The only one.

what do you even do on an evening like this. There is no refresh button anymore - or, if there is, what use is it now. There is grief, both first and second-hand. I saw my teacher cry today. And a part of me just wants to press play on that videoessay that i started watching a few days ago, which might actually be for the best if I really got around to do it. What is there to do when you don't have enough grief to break down in tears but also feel too much of it to continue as usual.

what do you even do on an evening like this. Tomorrow, there will be discourse. Today there is grief. I hear the rain outside. It's almost Christmas.

myslím na vás na všechny, kdo jste tam měli kamarády, známé, učitele. Kdo tam studujete, kdo tam studovat chcete, kdo jste tam studovali. Kdo jste tam včera byli. Líbám a objímám. Držte se.

I'm out of town for a summer internship, and thankfully I was able to find a short-term rental that allows cats. Things are pretty great so far except that this gorgeous creature hangs out nearby, and Toast is UTTERLY furious about it. Full on screaming-hissing windowsill staredown tantrum.

Pretty sure this smartass is fully aware of how much my cat hates its guts.

Figured I would share a very special rendition of one of my favorite 18th century tunes, Roslin Castle, a traditional funeral march in the British army. Those who have kept up with my musical ramblings know that this tune is very close to my heart. Last year I had the opportunity to perform this tune with a group of my closest friends as a part of a project I finished last semester, a 20-minute folk-style rock-opera about a boy named William (whom I have also talked about a bit on Tumblr before) who enlists in the British army as a musician and dies in the American Revolutionary War. Someday I do hope to re-record the entire work as an album and release it more formally, but this excerpt is is probably the only part I think we really couldn't have performed better.

Any thoughts on public magnet schools?

I mean, they’re probably the closest version that we’re ever going to get to an ethical version of the thing that charter schools are supposed to be doing. However they can also tend to exacerbate white flight especially when it’s just a “gifted” magnet school. If a public magnet has wildly different socioeconomic or racial or disability or ELL demographics than the district as a whole that’s when you should get concerned. Overall i think they make a lot more sense on a secondary level than on a primary level

The thing about my students is I love them, but every time I think "oh I should work on my graduation speech", within five minutes I'm so mad at them I have to put it down because I have to be nice in it
