No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Which one are you buying, Perkins? One that can print onto CDs, I hope.

I was thinking this one, [link]

but I don't think it does the CD thing.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I hate it when this happens: [link]

Poor doggie. He's not that ugly because of the noted age related ailments, right?

Chinese cresteds are an acquired taste (I think they're darling, and so cuddly), but at least half his ugly is from age.

Mmmm, a few fun articles on chocolate in Chicago (Chicago Tribune reg req'd), including how to taste test your chocolate and when's the best time to smell the chocolate factory near the Loop.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Oohhh... I haven't read the article yet, but winter mornings are the best time for smelling the factory based on my experience. Makes me crave hot chocolate when I get to work.

mmm... chocolate.

So, I finished teaching for the week. Now, I'm at home, waiting for temps to cool before I go for a walk. I just realized I'm going to be in Palm Desert tomorrow. It's way to hot to go further into the hot and the AC on my car is sketchy. I don't have time to get it fixed before I leave. Meep.

You can take my car, although that's not nearly as much fun.

tommyrot, thanks for the link to the old-school electronic games - I'd totally forgotten that I had a Blip game! Also had Merlin, Mattel Football I, Football II, the Auto Racing one, the spaceship shoot'em up which was exactly the Auto Racing run in reverse. And my neighbor friends had Mattel Baseball, Basketball, Soccer, and Hockey. And someone we knew had one of the Coleco Head-to-Head jobbies.

I still have my Football II.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

I still have a Mattel Hockey around somewhere.
