## Doing ## Doing
My desk upgrade journey hasn't gone as planned. The monitor mount I bought has a really small clamp, which I really should have checked before buying it, but I was so excited about a good deal. I spent a long time trying to brainstorm solutions (modify the clamp? build a wooden desk top?) My desk upgrade journey hasn't gone as planned. The monitor mount I bought has a really small clamp, which I really should have checked before buying it, but I was so excited about a good deal. It fits on the desk and looks great, but I'm not able to spread the weight with the steel plates I bought, and I don't trust a particleboard desktop to stand the test of time with a clamp. I spent a long time trying to brainstorm solutions (modify the clamp? build a wooden desk top?), and I had a sleepless night stressed about it. Eventually I decided to just order a different mount and I'll try to see this one locally to get my money back. It's a bummer because the arm is *really* nice, but I wanted the piece of mind of using something that isn't jerry-rigged. Normally I'm down for a stupid solution, but not when it's holding up several hundreds of dollars of tech.
Otherwise, I went to a PD on *The Writing Revolution,* which was more of an excuse for me to hang with some colleagues that I like, and I finally finished the syllabus for the college course I'm teaching in a week or so. Joe and I spent the weekend visiting some friends.
## Reading ## Reading
I'm still in the middle of *All Boys Aren't Blue,* but I focused on finishing my syllabus instead of finishing the book this week.
## Watching ## Watching
Joe and I (re)watched *Sky High*. It was on Disney Channel constantly when we were kids. I am proud to say that the movie still rocks. When visiting friends, we also watched *Cars*, which I had somehow never seen. I liked it more than I expected to, though I thought some of the messaging was confused — don't give me a diatribe about the road going "with" the land and driving for enjoyment when cars are one of the greatest environmental blights in our society.
