  • Love this album. It’s the music that plays when the time finally arrives:

    As I walk home from work on a dreary day, suddenly the clouds split apart, and in the warm light of a new day a clockwork dirigible bears down upon me. A beautiful androgyne, resplendent in a dashing suit of the color of burnished gold, leans down from the deck with a white gloved hand and grabs my eagerly lifted palm. I am borne away from this world of pain and sorrow on wings of song to take my place in the skies.




  • In America, not every school is staffed to the point where they can have someone sit on phones all day. Most schools around me are working on shoestring budgets, and I’m in a fairly cosmopolitan area of California. It’s even worse if you’re in a rural area because there’s no incentive to get good teachers there through pay rates or bonuses or anything like that. God help your kids if you’re in a red state. They are giving emergency teaching credentials to anyone with a pulse.
