"The thing that makes it work is also the thing that doesn't make it work"

One time last semester ST was sitting in my cubicle and I was drinking coffee. Something funny happened that I can't remember, and I burst out laughing. Coffee came out my nose. It was hot. The coffee, not the situation.

The other day I had dinner with some fellow English TA's. I said that we needed to eat early because I had "a thing" at 7:30. That "thing" was my bible study. ST called me out on it. He said, "Why didn't you just say that you had bible study at 7:30?!" I don't know why. I asked him why he doesn't call his girlfriend his girlfriend. That shut him up.

These stories are unrelated. 

ST('s dog) has a blog now. You should follow it: http://lhotsi.blogspot.com/

Gun. For a moment, very much like the one between lightning and it’s sound, the children just stare at me, and then it comes, a flurry, a hail storm of answers – Flower, says one. No, Book, says another. That's stupid, cries a third, the opposite of a gun is a pillow. Or maybe a hug, but not a book, no way is it a book. With this, the others gather their thoughts and suddenly it’s a shouting match. No one can agree, for every student there’s a final answer. It's a song, a prayer, I mean a promise, like a wedding ring, and later a baby. Or what’s that p
