Best text message ever. « fragments of a wandering mind
“Maybe one minute after I spoke to my friend (she didn’t know where it was), I got the following text from an amazing person: “Are you perchance missing your copy of chaucerian theatricality? i swear i’m not a stalker. i read your blog and there’s a copy on the steps…””

Sorry… Not much to say lately, folks.

I’ve been writing to professors, filling out forms, and trying to discern what it is I’m supposed to write for my personal statements (and the tone in which to write them).

Ideas?

I am on personal statement draft number two for law school.  Doesn’t get easier.  But I feel you.

Years later, Mr. Safire called Hillary Clinton a “congenital liar” in print. Mrs. Clinton said she was offended only for her mother’s sake. But a White House aide said that Bill Clinton, “if he were not president, would have delivered a more forceful response on the bridge of Mr. Safire’s nose.” Mr. Safire was delighted, especially with the proper use of the conditional.

I read William Safire’s “On Language” religiously every week.  I was sad when he stopped writing a few weeks ago… I will personally miss him greatly.
