When we were in high school, Kenji taught me a cheer for smart people:
Sine, sine, cosine, sine!
3.14159!
Which is . . . uh . . . how I memorized pi to five digits.
Anyway.
So, today, I've been trying to grade papers (although I've also somehow found myself hunting for obscure poetry, baking a coffee cake, watching Schnappi on YouTube with No. 6, researching late-blooming container flowers, and mulling virtual sales racks at gap.com). And it's become apparent that it's time for a motivational cheer.
Something like,
Grade those papers!
Grade them now!
Grip your red pen!
Furl your brow!
Think of grammar!
Think of law!
Rout those errors!
Rout them all!
Hmmmmmmm . . . makes me hungry for coffee cake . . .

I had coffee cake at work today, and there were no paper plates or napkins, so it was served on... coffee filters.
It was so... literal.
Hahaha! I'll have to remind him of this next time I talk to him...apparently he got made fun of by his Peace Corps teammates recently for using the word "metagrammar" in a conversation. Still nerdy!
Oh my word. I was in the middle of critiquing lesson 2 tort case briefs for approximately the 76th time, for sometime in the vicinity of the last 5 hours, and this post just made me laugh.
