I was just in my first meeting back in a while, and you know how when you’ve been thinking about and doing other things, you lose the vocab and structure of communicating for work (as just one example)? I mean,  I knew what I wanted to say but I’ve been so focused on friends and family and writing the book (and definitely relaxing) that I found myself struggling for the right words to discuss new classes and curriculum — instead I kept coming up with, “You know… that thing…?” Really articulate, I can be (Chris calls that kind of backward writing my “Yoda speak” and that’s pretty much how things were coming out today). I felt like a total space cadet, with few cylinders firing. A good thing to think about and understand, especially as I am due to start teaching next week and I bet some of my grad students will need a little time of their own to get back into thinking about theory and literacy more deeply.

Oh, and I saw Knocked Up. It was fantastic, really. I laughed my head off, at least partly at the ten-year-old sitting next to Chris who looked confused much of the time. This is definitely *not* a kids’ movie, fyi.
