research

Gotta say up front, I love research... even when it's pouring over hundred year old curricula for teacher training institutes. Yeah, I think that shit is fun. So, if you are justified in questioning my credibility on the issue...

I have a friend who is a novelist and gets to do all kinds of fun research ... I accompanied her on a trip to Chinatown in SF to try to uncover information about the infamous tunnels beneath the city, but I missed out on the sex party club and the porno movie set tour. Let's just say, she gets to do really interesting research.

I have another friend who is writing about television series, so a day of research for her might include re-watching every Bones episode, though, sadly for her, it also included watching all the yucky Risoldi and ...(I can't even remember the name) episodes...

My research is never that entertaining, generally. But, my policy recommendation for the teacher ed reform class has involved researching Jon Stewart and watching episodes of The Daily Show. But now I need to write a ton of pages, so no more "research" just writing, by far not the more fun part of my day...

Happy May Day! Viva los trabajadores...
